Stone hut circle 640m south-west of Beardown Man forming part of a dispersed settlement on the eastern slope of Conies Down Tor is a Bronze Age domestic structure located on Dartmoor in Devon. The hut circle is one of several archaeological remains distributed across the hillside, indicating a settlement pattern typical of later prehistoric communities on the high moorland. The structure survives as a stone-built circular foundation, characteristic of domestic dwellings from the Bronze Age period. The monument contributes to understanding of settlement distribution and land use on Dartmoor during the Bronze Age, when such dispersed groups of hut circles represented family or clan-based communities exploiting the upland landscape.
