Hut circles on Bonehill Down is a Bronze Age settlement site located in Devon, England. The monument consists of the remains of several circular domestic structures characteristic of later prehistoric occupation in the South West, with the hut circles representing domestic activity during the Bronze Age period. The site forms part of the broader landscape of Bronze Age settlement evidence found across Dartmoor and its surrounding areas, contributing to understanding of prehistoric settlement patterns and land use in Devon. The earthwork remains visible today indicate the location and scale of this ancient community, though the structures themselves are now reduced to circular depressions and low banks marking where the walls of these ancient dwellings once stood.
