Overview

History & significance

Two stone hut circles 80m and 130m north of Rippon Tor is a Bronze Age settlement located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises two circular structures built from stone, characteristic of domestic settlement practices during the Bronze Age period. Such hut circles are typical of the prehistoric occupation of Dartmoor's high moorland, where pastoral and agricultural communities established semi-permanent or seasonal settlements. The precise positioning of these two structures, measured at specific distances north of the prominent granite outcrop of Rippon Tor, indicates a deliberate exploitation of the moorland landscape during the second millennium BCE.
