Stone hut circle and length of boundary walling 860m south west of Venford Reservoir dam is a Prehistoric settlement site located on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument comprises a stone hut circle together with associated linear boundary walling, evidence of Bronze Age or Iron Age occupation and land organisation on the moorland landscape. The hut circle represents domestic settlement from the later prehistoric period, whilst the boundary walling demonstrates the systematic division and management of the moorland terrain contemporary with or following habitation at the site. Together these elements form a characteristic example of the dispersed settlement patterns and field systems that characterise Dartmoor's ancient landscape heritage.
