Two stone hut circles 850 metres west of Siward's or Nun's Cross is an ancient monument forming part of an unenclosed prehistoric settlement on Dartmoor in Devon. The two hut circles represent domestic structures of Bronze Age date, consistent with the numerous similar settlements scattered across the moorland landscape. Such settlements, typically comprising loosely grouped dwellings without defined boundaries, are characteristic of the later Bronze Age period, roughly the second millennium BC. The stone foundations and structural remains visible on site provide evidence of pastoral communities who exploited the moorland environment during prehistoric times.
