Two hut circles north of Lower Blackaton is a Bronze Age settlement site located on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument comprises two circular structures characteristic of domestic occupation during the Bronze Age period, when such hut circles formed the basis of upland settlement across the moor. The site demonstrates the pattern of prehistoric agricultural use of Dartmoor's higher ground, a landscape that supported pastoral and mixed farming communities. The preservation of these earthwork remains provides archaeological evidence of the settlement patterns and domestic architecture employed by Bronze Age communities in the south-west peninsula.
