Enclosed stone hut settlement south-west of Gutter Tor is a prehistoric enclosed settlement located on Dartmoor in Devon, comprising the remains of stone-built structures within an enclosing boundary. The site dates to the Bronze Age, a period when such defended or bounded settlements were established across the upland regions of south-west England. The physical remains consist of the footings and walls of round stone huts arranged within an outer stone wall or rampart, a characteristic layout of Dartmoor's prehistoric domestic settlements. Such enclosed hut groups represent important evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and land use on Dartmoor, demonstrating how communities organised their domestic spaces and pastoral activities during this period.
