Two stone hut circles 160m south of Down Tor is a Bronze Age settlement site located on Dartmoor in Devon. The hut circles represent domestic structures characteristic of the later Bronze Age period, when dispersed pastoral communities occupied the moorland landscape. The stone-built circular dwellings, constructed from local granite, are typical of the settlement patterns evident across Dartmoor during the second millennium BCE. Such sites provide important archaeological evidence for understanding the organisation, domestic life, and land use practices of Bronze Age communities in the Southwest Peninsula.
