Three enclosed hut groups at Black Tor, Shipley Bridge is a Prehistoric settlement comprising multiple domestic structures arranged within distinct enclosures. The site dates to the Bronze Age and represents an important example of nucleated settlement patterns in upland Devon. The hut groups consist of stone-built circular or sub-circular houses preserved within their associated enclosure boundaries, typical of the architectural practices and settlement organisation characteristic of the later Bronze Age in the Southwest. The monument reflects the sustained occupation and social organisation of Bronze Age communities exploiting the moorland resources of Dartmoor's periphery.
