A double stone hut circle forming part of the unenclosed stone hut circle settlement at Watern Oke is a Bronze Age domestic structure located on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument comprises two adjacent circular stone-built dwellings that form part of a larger settlement pattern characteristic of later prehistoric occupation on the moor, likely dating to the middle or later Bronze Age. The hut circles at this location represent evidence of sustained pastoral and domestic activity during a period when unenclosed settlements were typical of upland exploitation strategies. The site's archaeological significance lies in its contribution to understanding Bronze Age settlement organisation and land use on Dartmoor, where such scattered settlements reflect the dispersed nature of prehistoric communities across the moorland landscape.
