Hut circles on Heatree Down is a Bronze Age settlement located in Devon, England. The site comprises a group of circular dwelling structures typical of prehistoric upland communities, with earthwork remains visible as shallow depressions and banks marking the foundations of individual roundhouses. These hut circles represent domestic occupation during the Bronze Age, a period when such permanent or semi-permanent settlements were established on the higher ground of Dartmoor and surrounding areas. The site preserves evidence of early agricultural and pastoral settlement patterns in the South West peninsula during the second millennium before Christ.
