Enclosed stone hut circle settlement and three round cairns on Giant's Hill is a Prehistoric monument located in Devon, England. The site comprises a settlement of stone-built round houses enclosed within a defensive boundary, accompanied by three separate round cairns, representing Bronze Age or Iron Age occupation and funerary practice. The hut circles demonstrate characteristic Prehistoric architectural form adapted to the upland Devon landscape, whilst the cairns indicate ritual or burial activity associated with the settlement. The enclosed arrangement suggests a nucleated community of some permanence and social organisation typical of later Prehistoric Devon.
