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 three hut circles represent domestic structures typical of the later Bronze Age period, constructed without the defining boundary banks or walls that characterise enclosed settlements of the same era. The site exemplifies the dispersed pattern of rural settlement found across Dartmoor and its margins during the second millennium BC, where individual or small clusters of stone-built roundhouses served as the primary domestic units. These structures provide evidence for the organisation and scale of Bronze Age communities in the upland and marginal areas of south-western England.
