Overview

History & significance

One of two stone hut circles on Corringdon Ball, north of Corringdon Farm is a Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement monument located in Devon. The site comprises two circular stone-built structures typical of prehistoric domestic architecture found on Dartmoor and the surrounding uplands, where such hut circles represent evidence of sustained highland settlement during the second and first millennia before the Common Era. The stone foundations and circular plan indicate permanent or semi-permanent occupation, with such sites reflecting pastoral and agricultural lifeways adapted to the moorland environment. The preservation of both structures together provides material evidence for understanding the scale and organisation of prehistoric settlement patterns in southwest England.
