Overview

History & significance

Stone hut circle centred 460m ESE of Sparretts Farm is a Bronze Age domestic structure located on the northern edge of Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. The monument comprises a circular stone-built dwelling, characteristic of settlement patterns established during the later Bronze Age when communities on the moor developed permanent or semi-permanent habitation sites. Such hut circles, typically ranging from four to eight metres in diameter, functioned as domestic dwellings and represent important archaeological evidence of moorland occupation and land use during prehistory. The site contributes to understanding the broader Bronze Age settlement landscape of Bodmin Moor, where multiple such structures indicate organised communities exploiting the upland environment.
