Three stone hut circles forming part of an unenclosed stone hut circle settlement on the north-east slope of Cox Tor is a Bronze Age domestic settlement located on Dartmoor in Devon. The settlement comprises multiple circular stone-built structures characteristic of later Bronze Age upland occupation, dating to approximately the second millennium before the present. The hut circles represent the remains of a seasonally or permanently occupied settlement without defensive fortification, typical of the dispersed pastoral communities that exploited Dartmoor's high ground during the Bronze Age. The site preserves evidence of the stone footings and wall lines of these circular domestic dwellings, which once supported thatched or timber-framed superstructures and form part of the broader pattern of Bronze Age settlement archaeology visible across the Dartmoor landscape.
