Overview

History & significance

Stone hut circle settlement 900m west of Devil's Bridge is a prehistoric settlement comprising the remains of stone-built roundhouses characteristic of Bronze Age occupation in Devon. The site consists of multiple hut circles, the structural footprints of domestic dwellings constructed from stone, which represent settlement patterns and building practices typical of upland communities in the second millennium BCE. Such settlements provide archaeological evidence for the organisation and material culture of Bronze Age farming communities, though the precise extent and condition of the structures at this location would require examination of the site record and archaeological survey data. The monument's designation reflects its significance as a representative example of prehistoric settlement archaeology in the Exmoor upland region of Devon.
