Stone hut circle 320m north of Hart Tor is a Bronze Age domestic structure forming part of an unenclosed settlement on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument consists of a stone-built circular hut foundation typical of upland settlement patterns from the second millennium BC, when this area was actively farmed and inhabited. The hut circle is one of several structures within a dispersed settlement layout without defensive enclosure, reflecting the domestic and pastoral economy of Bronze Age communities on the moor. Such hut circles, identified by their distinctive circular stone footings, represent important archaeological evidence for understanding Bronze Age settlement density and organisation on Dartmoor.
