Agglomerate enclosure and 15 stone hut circles 560m west of Cawsand Beacon is a Bronze Age settlement complex located on the high moorland of Devon. The monument comprises a substantial enclosure constructed from local agglomerate stone alongside a cluster of fifteen domestic hut circles, which represent the foundation remains of prehistoric roundhouses. The site demonstrates the settlement patterns and domestic architecture characteristic of the Bronze Age period on Dartmoor, where such clusters indicate organised occupation of marginal upland terrain. The stone construction and agglomerate material reflect adaptation to the local geology and represent an important archaeological record of prehistoric rural settlement in the South West.
