A small stone hut circle forming part of the unenclosed stone hut circle settlement at Watern Oke is a Bronze Age or Iron Age domestic structure located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises a scattered settlement of multiple hut circles constructed from stone, representative of the prehistoric pastoral communities that occupied the moorland during the later prehistoric period. The individual hut circle consists of a roughly circular stone foundation, the remains of what would have been a roundhouse dwelling, built without defensive fortifications or enclosing boundaries. Such unenclosed settlements are characteristic of Bronze Age and Iron Age settlement patterns on Dartmoor and provide evidence of the subsistence farming and pastoral economy practised in this upland region during antiquity.
