The enclosed stone hut circle settlement on the south-east slope of Conies Down Tor is a Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement located in Devon. The site consists of a cluster of circular stone-built dwelling structures contained within an enclosing boundary wall or bank, a settlement pattern typical of later prehistoric communities in south-west England. Such settlements represent evidence of domestic occupation and social organisation during the Bronze Age and Iron Age periods, when stone construction became more prevalent in upland areas of Devon. The preservation of stone foundations and circular floor plans at this location provides archaeological insight into the settlement patterns and building practices of prehistoric Devon communities.
