Stone hut circle 140m north west of Higher Shilstone is a Bronze Age domestic settlement located on the upland moorland of Devon. The structure comprises a roughly circular stone foundation, typical of the hut circles that characterised moorland settlement patterns during the later Bronze Age and possibly into the Iron Age. Such monuments are significant archaeological remains that provide evidence of prehistoric agricultural communities and their exploitation of marginal upland environments. The site is protected as a scheduled ancient monument due to its importance in understanding the settlement archaeology and land use patterns of prehistoric Devon.
