The enclosure and stone hut circle 740 metres south-east of Penn Beacon is a Bronze Age settlement component located in Devon. The site comprises a circular stone hut foundation typical of Bronze Age domestic architecture, associated with an enclosure structure that would have served pastoral or domestic functions. Such settlements are characteristic of the later Bronze Age period when communities in south-western Britain organised themselves in small clusters of round houses with surrounding boundaries for stock management and habitation. The stone construction and landscape position reflect the adaptation of upland communities to the Devon landscape during the later prehistoric period.
