A stone hut circle on Longash Common lying 870m ESE of Merrivale Bridge is a Bronze Age domestic settlement monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The structure comprises a roughly circular arrangement of stone rubble representing the remains of a prehistoric roundhouse, characteristic of Bronze Age moorland occupation dating to approximately 1500–500 BC. Such hut circles are amongst the most abundant archaeological monuments on Dartmoor and provide evidence of sustained settlement and pastoral activity during the later prehistoric period. The site's location on the open moorland reflects Bronze Age land use patterns and contributes to the broader archaeological landscape of Bronze Age Dartmoor.
