Two stone hut circles and an enclosure 140m east of the Ordnance Survey triangulation pillar on Cox Tor is a Bronze Age settlement situated on moorland in Devon. The monument comprises two circular stone-built structures typical of domestic occupation during the later Bronze Age, accompanied by an associated enclosure that likely served pastoral or defensive purposes. The hut circles represent a rare surviving example of upland settlement architecture from this period, preserving evidence of ancient habitation patterns on Dartmoor. The site's location on exposed moorland reflects the Bronze Age use of highland territories for settlement and agricultural activity before climatic deterioration led to settlement contraction in later prehistory.
