Hut circles and fields on Buckland Common is a Bronze Age settlement located on Buckland Common in Devon, England. The site comprises a cluster of circular hut platforms typical of late Bronze Age domestic occupation, along with associated field boundaries and clearance cairns that reflect the management of the landscape during this period. The hut circles are formed by shallow depressions marking the positions of former roundhouses, their construction and occupation patterns consistent with the settlement practices of the second millennium BCE. The combination of domestic structures and field systems demonstrates the agricultural basis of Bronze Age communities in Devon and their integration of habitation with cultivation and stock management.
