Overview

History & significance

One of two stone hut circles on Corringdon Ball is a Bronze Age settlement structure located north of Corringdon Farm in Devon. The hut circle belongs to a class of prehistoric domestic monuments characteristic of upland settlement patterns in south-west England during the Bronze Age, when such stone-founded roundhouses formed the basic unit of pastoral and agricultural communities. The monument survives as a substantial stone foundation, preserving evidence of domestic occupation practices on the moorland landscape. Its presence alongside a second hut circle at the same location indicates a small settlement cluster typical of Bronze Age settlement organisation in Devon's upland regions.
