Two stone hut circles 675 metres south-west of Beardown Man is a Bronze Age settlement site located on the eastern slopes of Conies Down Tor in Devon. The hut circles form the southern limit of a dispersed settlement pattern typical of upland Bronze Age occupation in south-west England, demonstrating the organised use of moorland resources during the second millennium before Christ. The stone-built structures represent domestic settlement activity characteristic of the period, with their positioning within the wider settlement cluster indicating community organisation across the slope. This site forms part of the significant concentration of Bronze Age monuments preserved on the high ground of this region, contributing to the archaeological understanding of prehistoric settlement patterns on Dartmoor and the surrounding uplands.
