The enclosed stone hut circle settlement 940m WSW of Nun's Cross is a Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement situated on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises a roughly circular or oval enclosure defined by stone walls, within which are the remains of one or more hut circles constructed from stone, representing domestic structures typical of upland settlements in the later prehistoric period. Such enclosed settlements are characteristic of Dartmoor's archaeological landscape and reflect patterns of pastoral and agricultural land use during the late second and first millennia before the Common Era. The monument survives as earthwork and structural remains that provide evidence of prehistoric settlement strategies and social organisation on the moorland.
