Stone hut circle 240m south of Down Tor is a prehistoric domestic structure located on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument consists of the stone foundations of a circular dwelling, characteristic of Bronze Age settlement patterns on the moor, dating to the second millennium BCE. Such hut circles represent evidence of sustained pastoral and agricultural activity during the prehistoric period and form part of the extensive archaeological landscape of Dartmoor's upland communities. The surviving stone footings preserve the basic form of what would have been a timber-framed dwelling with a thatched or turf roof.
