A stone hut circle settlement and irregular aggregate field system at the northern tip of Long Ridge is a prehistoric settlement located in Devon, England. The site comprises multiple stone hut circles arranged within an associated field system characterised by irregular boundaries and aggregate stone clearance, typical of Bronze Age or Iron Age upland settlement patterns. The hut circles and field layout represent evidence of sustained agricultural and domestic occupation during the later prehistoric period, reflecting the organisation of pastoral and arable farming communities in the South West. Such settlements are significant for understanding prehistoric settlement hierarchy, land use, and the exploitation of moorland and marginal upland environments during antiquity.
