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 a series of stone-built circular dwellings typical of prehistoric settlement patterns on the moor, alongside later post-medieval structures associated with rabbit warren management, demonstrating continuity of land use across multiple periods. The hut circles represent domestic occupation during the Bronze Age, whilst the warren features reflect the economic importance of rabbit farming in the early modern period. Together, these remains provide evidence of successive phases of human activity and exploitation of this upland landscape over more than three thousand years.
