This unenclosed settlement on Tom's Hill comprises the remains of several stone hut circles, likely dating to the Bronze Age. The foundations are visible as low stone rings scattered across the moorland, evidence of domestic life on Dartmoor several thousand years ago. The settlement sits in characteristic upland landscape, open and exposed to the elements.
Today the site is marked as a scheduled monument and visible to anyone walking this part of the moor. The stones speak to how people once lived on these high slopes, building permanent or semi-permanent homes and exploiting the moorland for grazing and other resources. The ruins lie within the broader pattern of Bronze Age settlement that defines so much of Dartmoor's archaeological heritage.
