Three stone hut circles forming part of an unenclosed stone hut circle settlement is an ancient monument located on the north-east slope of Cox Tor in Devon, England. The settlement dates to the Bronze Age and consists of the remains of at least three circular domestic structures constructed from stone, typical of upland pastoral communities that occupied Dartmoor during the second millennium BC. The hut circles are positioned within an unenclosed settlement pattern, indicating a dispersed arrangement without defensive or formal boundary structures, which is characteristic of Bronze Age settlement organisation in this region. The monument represents evidence of sustained human occupation and agricultural practice on Dartmoor during the prehistoric period.
