Sixteen stone hut circles forming part of an unenclosed stone hut circle settlement on the north-east slope of Cox Tor is a Bronze Age settlement situated in Devon. The hut circles are constructed from stone and represent a domestic settlement pattern typical of the later prehistoric period, with structures arranged without formal defensive or boundary walls. The site belongs to the Bronze Age, a period when such upland stone settlements became established features of the Dartmoor landscape. The unenclosed character of the settlement, combined with the number and spacing of the hut circles, suggests a community-based occupation reflecting the social and economic organisation of Bronze Age Devonshire.
