Hut circles on Bonehill Down is a Bronze Age settlement located in Devon, England. The site comprises the remains of several circular domestic structures characteristic of the second millennium BCE, when such roundhouses formed the basis of upland pastoral communities across south-western Britain. These hut circles, identifiable as shallow depressions and stone foundations in the landscape, represent evidence of sustained human occupation and land use during the later prehistoric period. The settlement reflects the adaptation of Bronze Age peoples to the moorland environment and their exploitation of upland resources.
