Two stone hut circles 570m south west of Down Tor is an Iron Age settlement site located on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument comprises two substantial circular stone structures characteristic of domestic occupation during the prehistoric period, likely dating to between the 8th and 1st centuries BC. The hut circles represent evidence of settled pastoral and agricultural communities that inhabited the moorland during the Iron Age, before the Roman conquest of Britain. Such sites are significant for understanding the distribution and nature of Iron Age settlement patterns across Dartmoor and the broader south-western peninsula.
