A stone hut circle on Longash Common lying 980m ESE of Merrivale Bridge is a Bronze Age domestic settlement located on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument comprises a roughly circular stone foundation measuring approximately 5 metres in diameter, characteristic of the domestic structures built on Dartmoor during the later Bronze Age and early Iron Age periods. Such hut circles represent evidence of pastoral settlement and land use on the moorland during prehistory, reflecting the exploitation of upland grazing resources. This example contributes to the extensive archaeology of Bronze Age occupation documented across Dartmoor's moorland landscape.
