Enclosed stone hut circle settlement 200m east of Leeden Tor is a Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises a cluster of stone-built round houses, typical of upland pastoral communities practising mixed agriculture during the second and first millennia BC. The settlement is defined by an enclosing stone wall or boundary, which would have served both to contain livestock and to demarcate the inhabited area. Such enclosed hut circle settlements represent important evidence of prehistoric land organisation and domestic settlement patterns on Dartmoor, reflecting the adaptation of communities to the moorland environment during later prehistory.
