Five stone hut circles 320m east of Yealm Steps is a Bronze Age settlement located in Devon, England, comprising five circular structures constructed from stone. The site forms part of a larger hut circle settlement that exemplifies the domestic architecture of prehistoric communities in the South West peninsula during the Bronze Age period. The stone hut circles represent the foundations and lower walls of roundhouses, a common dwelling form for Bronze Age populations engaged in pastoral and agricultural subsistence. This monument type, scattered across the Devon landscape, provides material evidence of settlement patterns and social organisation during the later prehistoric period.
