Watern Oke is a Bronze Age unenclosed settlement located in Devon, comprising ten stone hut circles that represent domestic occupation from the prehistoric period. The hut circles, constructed from stone, are distributed across the landscape without defensive fortification or boundary earthworks, a settlement pattern characteristic of Bronze Age communities in the south-western peninsula. The site preserves evidence of domestic architecture and settlement organisation from this period, contributing to understanding of Bronze Age settlement practices in Devon. The monument is protected as a scheduled ancient monument and remains an important archaeological resource for the study of prehistoric settlement in the region.
