The partially enclosed stone hut circle settlement 560m west of Horn's Cross is a Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement remains located in Devon. The site comprises stone hut circles with evidence of structural enclosure, typical of prehistoric domestic settlement patterns in south-west England during the second and first millennia before Christ. Such settlements represent the archaeological record of farming communities whose economy combined pastoralism with cultivation, and whose domestic architecture adapted to the exposed moorland environment of Devonian uplands. The partial survival of stone foundations and enclosure walls provides material evidence for understanding settlement layout, domestic organisation, and land use during the later prehistoric period.
