Overview

History & significance

Three hut circles north-west of Cadworthy is a prehistoric settlement site located in Devon, England. The three structures represent Bronze Age or Iron Age domestic occupation, evidenced by their characteristic circular ground plans which are typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in South-West England. The hut circles survive as earthwork features comprising circular depressions and banks that mark the positions of former roundhouses, which would have been constructed with timber frameworks and organic materials that have since decayed. This monument forms part of the wider pattern of upland settlement and land use in Devon during the later prehistoric period.
