Two stone hut circles north of Spanish Lake, Lee Moor

Devon

These two stone hut circles stand on Dartmoor's high moorland north of Spanish Lake, likely dating from the Bronze Age when scattered communities occupied the moor. The circular foundations, built from stone, are the enduring traces of domestic life from this distant period, offering a tangible sense of how people once lived on this exposed landscape.

Visiting the site means walking out into open moorland and reading the land itself. The hut circles are modest features, easy to overlook without a careful eye, but they speak to the long human history of Dartmoor. This is a scheduled monument, protected for its archaeological significance and its place in understanding how the moor has been used across millennia.
