Two hut circles NW of Bush Down is a Bronze Age settlement site located in Devon. The monument comprises two circular domestic structures typical of the later Bronze Age period, when such roundhouses formed the basis of settlement organisation across the south-west of England. The hut circles survive as earthwork remains, evident as roughly circular depressions with surrounding banks that mark the positions of former timber or stone-built dwellings. The site represents an important example of prehistoric domestic occupation patterns in the moorland landscape of Devon.
