Four stone hut circles and associated boundary walls south east of Fernworthy Reservoir, 250m north west of Metherall is a Bronze Age settlement site located on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument comprises four circular stone-built structures typical of domestic occupation during the Bronze Age, accompanied by field boundary walls that delineate the surrounding settlement landscape. These hut circles represent evidence of permanent or semi-permanent habitation and pastoral activity, characteristic of the upland settlements that developed on Dartmoor during the second millennium BCE. The associated field systems indicate the organisation of land use within this prehistoric community and contribute to our understanding of Bronze Age agricultural and settlement patterns in the South West of England.
