Partially enclosed stone hut circle settlement and post-medieval warren structures on the western slope of Little and Great Trowlesworthy Tors is a Bronze Age and later settlement complex located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises prehistoric stone hut circles, characteristic of Bronze Age domestic occupation on the moor, alongside later post-medieval structures associated with rabbit warrens, reflecting the subsequent economic use of the landscape. The settlement's position on the western slopes of the tors demonstrates the Bronze Age exploitation of Dartmoor's upland terrain, whilst the warren structures testify to medieval and post-medieval land management practices. The monument represents successive periods of human activity across a significant timespan, from prehistoric settlement through to early modern agricultural and hunting use.
