Stone hut circle forming part of an unenclosed stone hut circle settlement on the north-east slope of Cox Tor is a Bronze Age domestic structure situated on Dartmoor in Devon. The settlement comprises multiple circular stone foundations typical of later Bronze Age or Iron Age occupation, representing evidence of sustained prehistoric habitation on the moorland. The individual hut circle exhibits the characteristic dry-stone construction and circular ground plan diagnostic of this period, with surviving wall footings that define the former domestic space. This unenclosed settlement exemplifies the pattern of dispersed pastoral settlement that characterised Dartmoor during the later prehistoric period, providing archaeological evidence for the region's Bronze Age and Iron Age economy and settlement strategies.
