Unenclosed hut circle settlement near Yellowmeade Farm

Grid ref: SX 5643 7422

On walking routes: Abbot's Way

This scheduled monument is the remains of a prehistoric settlement of stone hut circles, likely dating to the Bronze Age when communities built and lived in these distinctive round dwellings across Dartmoor. The settlement sits on open moorland and forms part of the wider pattern of ancient habitation that shaped the landscape we see today.

Visitors will find low stone foundations and circular structures scattered across the ground, a humbling reminder of how people adapted to life on the high moor thousands of years ago. The site rewards careful walking and observation, and sits within the broader archaeological context that makes Dartmoor one of England's richest prehistoric landscapes.
