Prehistoric hut circle settlement on Stanning Hill is a Bronze Age settlement site located in Cornwall. The site comprises multiple hut circles, the characteristic domestic structures of Bronze Age communities in south-western Britain, which would have served as dwellings for an extended settlement. These circular or sub-circular earthworks represent evidence of permanent or semi-permanent occupation during the later prehistoric period. The settlement reflects the pattern of dispersed Bronze Age habitation across the Cornish uplands, demonstrating the organisation and scale of domestic life in this region during the second millennium before Christ.
