Two stone hut circles 810m west of Siward's or Nun's Cross, Devon, form part of an unenclosed prehistoric settlement of Bronze Age or Iron Age date. The hut circles, constructed from stone, represent domestic structures typical of upland settlements in south-western England during later prehistory. Their unenclosed arrangement indicates a settlement pattern distinct from contemporary fortified or formally bounded communities, suggesting a dispersed pattern of habitation adapted to the moorland environment. The site contributes to understanding of settlement organisation and domestic life in Devon during the later prehistoric period.
