A stone hut circle on Longash Common lying 980m ESE of Merrivale Bridge is a Bronze Age domestic structure located on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument comprises a roughly circular stone foundation, typical of the prehistoric domestic settlements that characterise the moorland landscape of the second millennium BC. Such hut circles represent the remains of single-family dwellings and provide valuable archaeological evidence for Bronze Age settlement patterns and subsistence practices on Dartmoor. The structure's preservation contributes to our understanding of how communities exploited the upland environment during the later prehistoric period.
