Stone hut circle 130m east of Leeden Tor is a prehistoric domestic structure forming part of a Bronze Age settlement on Dartmoor in Devon. The hut circle represents the remains of a roundhouse dwelling, constructed from stone and characteristic of the upland settlement patterns established during the later Bronze Age. The monument survives as a circular or sub-circular earthwork with associated stone rubble, typical of the numerous hut settlements scattered across Dartmoor that testify to intensive occupation and pastoral farming during this period. The site's designation as an ancient monument reflects its significance in understanding Bronze Age settlement hierarchy and land use on the Devonian moorlands.
