Hut circles in Erme Valley is a Bronze Age settlement located in Devon, comprising a group of domestic structures that date to the second millennium before Christ. The monument consists of several circular or sub-circular stone-built hut foundations, typical of upland settlement patterns in the Southwest Peninsula during this period. These structures represent evidence of pastoral and agricultural communities that exploited the moorland environment, with the hut circles positioned to take advantage of available water sources and sheltered locations within the valley. The site contributes to understanding Bronze Age settlement distribution and settlement strategy in Devon's upland regions.
