Three hut circles east of Bush Down is a Bronze Age settlement site located in Devon. The monument comprises three circular dwellings characteristic of the prehistoric period, constructed with stone-founded foundations typical of moorland settlements from the second millennium BCE. Such hut circles represent important archaeological evidence of domestic settlement patterns and land use during the Bronze Age, when communities established semi-permanent or seasonal occupation sites across Devon's upland areas. The site contributes to understanding the broader pattern of Bronze Age settlement distribution across the South West of England.
