A stone hut circle on Longash Common lying 870m ESE of Merrivale Bridge is a Bronze Age settlement site located on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument consists of a circular stone structure typical of domestic occupation from the second millennium BC, representing evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns in the upland areas of Southwest England. Such hut circles, constructed from stone rubble and measuring several metres in diameter, served as dwellings for pastoral communities exploiting the moorland landscape. The site contributes to the archaeological understanding of Bronze Age land use and settlement distribution across Dartmoor's exposed terrain.
