Stone hut circle 570m ENE of Merrivale Bridge is a prehistoric domestic structure forming part of a Bronze Age settlement on Dartmoor. The monument consists of a partially enclosed circular stone dwelling typical of upland settlement patterns in the second millennium BCE, preserved as a low stone foundation. The hut circle settlement of which it forms part represents evidence of sustained pastoral and domestic occupation during the Bronze Age, when such communities exploited the moorland environment for herding and cultivation. The survival of multiple hut circles in association demonstrates the social organisation and settlement hierarchy of prehistoric Dartmoor communities.
