Stone hut circle situated on the north eastern edge of an unenclosed stone hut circle settlement 1180m south of North Hessary Tor is a prehistoric domestic structure forming part of a Bronze Age settlement on Dartmoor. The hut circle comprises a roughly circular stone foundation measuring approximately 6.5 metres in diameter, characteristic of domestic dwellings occupied during the later Bronze Age and early Iron Age periods. The structure stands within a wider settlement pattern of multiple hut circles distributed across the moorland without defensive fortification, typical of Bronze Age pastoral communities on the Dartmoor uplands. This monument contributes significant archaeological evidence to understanding domestic settlement patterns and land use practices during the prehistoric period in southwest England.
