Stone hut circle 140m north west of Higher Shilstone is a prehistoric dwelling site located on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument comprises the remains of a circular stone structure typical of Bronze Age settlement patterns on the moor, dating to approximately the second millennium before the present. Such hut circles represent domestic occupation during a period when Dartmoor supported a more extensive population than in later periods, and this example contributes to the archaeological evidence for prehistoric moorland use and land management. The site is designated as a scheduled monument in recognition of its archaeological importance and potential to inform understanding of Bronze Age settlement and subsistence practices in upland Devon.
