The enclosed stone hut circle settlement on the south slope of White Tor is a Bronze Age prehistoric settlement located in Devon. The site comprises stone-built circular domestic structures characteristic of upland settlement practices during the later Bronze Age, when such hut circles became common features of the Devon moorland landscape. The enclosure containing these structures represents a deliberate organisation of domestic space, suggesting community-level planning and possibly pastoral or agricultural economy. The settlement's survival on the exposed moorland slope provides valuable evidence for understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and land use in the south-western peninsula during the second half of the Bronze Age.
