Round cairn and stone hut circle 950m south of Sourton Tors is a Bronze Age settlement site located on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument comprises a round cairn, a funerary or ceremonial structure typical of the Bronze Age period, alongside the remains of a stone hut circle, indicating domestic occupation during the later Bronze Age or Iron Age. The hut circle's stone construction and its association with the cairn suggest this was a settlement site of some permanence during prehistory. The site is situated within the moorland landscape characteristic of Dartmoor's archaeological resource, where such combinations of ritual and domestic structures are commonly found.
