Southernmost stone hut circle forming part of the settlement on Langstone Moor is a prehistoric domestic structure located on the moor near Chagford in Devon. The hut circle is part of a wider Bronze Age settlement complex and represents evidence of sustained occupation and agricultural management of the upland landscape during the second millennium before the present. The structure comprises a roughly circular or oval stone-built foundation, characteristic of contemporary domestic architecture on Dartmoor and the wider southwest peninsula, constructed from locally available stone rubble. The survival of multiple hut circles within the settlement provides valuable archaeological evidence for prehistoric social organisation, settlement patterns, and land use on the Devon uplands.
