A stone hut circle 650m east of Merrivale Bridge is a Bronze Age domestic settlement forming part of a larger ceremonial and domestic landscape on Dartmoor in Devon. The hut circle is constructed from stone and retains evidence of the characteristic circular or oval floor plan typical of Bronze Age dwellings, dating to approximately 1500–700 BCE. The monument forms one element of a partially enclosed settlement complex, indicating communal organisation of the domestic space during the later Bronze Age period. The site contributes to the archaeological understanding of prehistoric settlement patterns and land use on Dartmoor, an area particularly rich in Bronze Age remains.
