Two stone hut circles 450m SSE of Ger Tor

Devon

These two stone hut circles sit on the open moorland south-east of Ger Tor, their low stone foundations a trace of Bronze Age settlement. Like many such circles across Dartmoor, they mark where people built shelters on the high ground, though the precise dating and duration of occupation can only be guessed at from what the landscape itself reveals.

Today the circles are barely prominent features in the moorland terrain. Walking here, you are among the scattered archaeology of Dartmoor's upland past, where Bronze Age communities left these enduring marks on the landscape. The site forms part of the broader pattern of prehistoric life on the moor that can still be read by those willing to look closely.
