Hut circles and field systems east of Mel Tor is a Bronze Age settlement site located on the moorland of Dartmoor in Devon. The monument comprises the remains of several circular dwellings typical of the Bronze Age period, associated with contemporary field boundaries and agricultural divisions that reflect the organised use of this upland landscape. The hut circles represent domestic occupation, whilst the field systems demonstrate the integration of settlement with pastoral and arable farming practices characteristic of Bronze Age moorland communities. The site forms part of the broader archaeological complex of Dartmoor's prehistoric heritage, where similar settlements and field patterns provide evidence of sustained human activity and landscape management during the second millennium BC.
