Stone hut circle south west of Corringdon Ball is a Bronze Age domestic settlement located on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument comprises a circular or sub-circular stone foundation typical of prehistoric roundhouse construction, with walls of dry stone that once supported a timber superstructure and conical roof. Such hut circles are characteristic of Dartmoor's Bronze Age settlement pattern, dating broadly to the second millennium BCE, and represent the domestic architecture of pastoral communities who exploited the high moorland. The site contributes to the broader archaeological understanding of Bronze Age land use and social organisation on Dartmoor, where numerous such settlements survive as earthwork and stone remains.
