Stone hut circle 360m NNE of Hart Tor is a Bronze Age domestic structure forming part of an unenclosed settlement on Dartmoor in Devon. The hut circle consists of a roughly circular foundation of stones that once supported a timber-framed dwelling with a turf or thatch superstructure, typical of prehistoric moorland settlement patterns. The site belongs to a cluster of similar structures scattered across the landscape without the defining boundary walls of later enclosed settlements, indicating occupation during the Bronze Age period when such dispersed pastoral communities were established across Dartmoor. This monument represents an important survival of prehistoric building remains and settlement organisation, contributing to understanding of Bronze Age domestic life and land use in the Southwest Peninsula.
