Three unenclosed stone hut circles on the west side of the Erme Valley, north of Lower Piles is a Bronze Age settlement site located in Devon, England. The monument comprises three circular stone-built structures that represent domestic occupation during the second millennium BCE, a period when such hut circles were commonplace in upland and marginal areas of south-western England. The unenclosed nature of the settlement suggests a community without formal defensive or boundary structures, typical of Bronze Age pastoral and agricultural communities in Devon. The site contributes to understanding patterns of prehistoric settlement distribution across the Erme Valley landscape and the exploitation of moorland and valley resources during the Bronze Age.
