Stone hut circle 315m north-east of Sharpitor is a Bronze Age domestic structure forming part of a prehistoric settlement on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument consists of the remains of a circular stone-built dwelling, characteristic of Bronze Age occupation patterns on the moor, where such hut circles are distributed across the landscape in groups indicating sustained settlement activity. The structure demonstrates the typical architectural form of its period, with stone foundations marking the perimeter of the circular habitation space. This hut circle contributes to the archaeological understanding of Bronze Age settlement patterns and domestic life on Dartmoor, one of the most significant concentrations of prehistoric monuments in south-west England.
