Overview

History & significance

One of several stone hut circles north of Corringdon Ball is a Bronze Age settlement monument located on the high moorland of Dartmoor in Devon. The hut circle comprises the remains of a roughly circular stone structure, typical of domestic dwellings constructed during the Bronze Age, approximately 2000 to 700 BC. Such settlements on Dartmoor represent important evidence of prehistoric agricultural communities that exploited the moorland landscape, and the presence of multiple hut circles in this locality indicates a grouping of contemporary domestic structures forming a small nucleated settlement. The stone-built construction of these structures has enabled their preservation and survival to the present day, making them significant archaeological remains for understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and lifeways on Dartmoor.
