Stone hut circle 770m west of Siward's or Nun's Cross is a Bronze Age domestic structure forming part of an unenclosed settlement on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument comprises the surviving stone foundations of a circular dwelling, characteristic of upland pastoral communities that occupied the moor during the second millennium BC. As part of a larger settlement pattern of scattered hut circles without surrounding enclosure works, it provides evidence for the dispersed settlement strategies employed by Bronze Age populations exploiting Dartmoor's high moorland environment. The site is documented as a scheduled ancient monument, recognising its archaeological significance for understanding prehistoric settlement and land use on the moor.
