Two stone hut circles 850m west of Siward's or Nun's Cross is an ancient monument forming part of an unenclosed stone hut circle settlement located in Devon, England. The structures date to the Bronze Age and represent the remains of domestic occupation in the form of circular stone-built dwellings, characteristic of prehistoric settlement patterns on Dartmoor and the surrounding upland regions of southwest England. The hut circles are situated within a broader landscape of dispersed settlement without formal enclosure, indicating a pastoral and agricultural community typical of later Bronze Age or Iron Age occupation. As an unenclosed settlement, the site provides evidence of the permanent or semi-permanent habitation strategies employed by prehistoric communities in upland Devon during this period.
