The prehistoric stone hut circle settlement located 630 metres south of Hemstone Rocks is a Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement site situated on moorland in Devon. The settlement comprises multiple stone-built circular dwellings constructed from local stone, characteristic of upland pastoral communities that occupied Devonshire during the later prehistoric period. Such settlements represent important evidence of domestic life and land use patterns among the farming populations of southwestern Britain during the second and first millennia before the Common Era. The site's location on elevated moorland reflects the exploitation of marginal lands for seasonal or year-round habitation, providing valuable archaeological information about settlement distribution and prehistoric agricultural practices in the region.
