Enclosure and hut circles on Erme Plains E of River Erme is a prehistoric settlement site located in Devon, England, comprising evidence of Bronze Age occupation and land use. The monument consists of the physical remains of circular domestic structures and associated field boundaries characteristic of the later prehistoric period, representing the spatial organisation of a small community engaged in mixed agricultural practices. The hut circles and enclosure earthworks survive as landscape features on the moorland east of the River Erme, documenting patterns of settlement and resource management typical of Devon's upland zones during the Bronze Age. Such sites provide essential evidence for understanding prehistoric settlement hierarchies, domestic arrangements, and the management of pastoral and arable resources in the south-western uplands.
