A 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 site comprises multiple circular stone foundations typical of prehistoric settlement patterns in this region, dating to approximately the second millennium before the present. The individual hut circle represents the physical remains of a dwelling where the circular walls, built from locally available stone without mortar, would have originally supported a timber superstructure and thatched roof. The unenclosed nature of this settlement indicates a community that did not rely on defensive fortification, suggesting a period of relative stability during the Bronze Age occupation of Dartmoor's upland landscape.
