The stone hut circle at Watern Oke is a prehistoric domestic structure forming part of an unenclosed settlement in Devon. Dating to the Bronze Age, the hut circle comprises a roughly circular arrangement of stone, typical of domestic dwellings from this period in south-western Britain. The settlement at Watern Oke represents an important archaeological record of Bronze Age settlement patterns and subsistence practices in the upland regions of Devon. The unenclosed nature of the settlement, in contrast to contemporary fortified or palisaded sites elsewhere, provides evidence of the varied social and economic organisation of Bronze Age communities.
