The unenclosed stone hut circle settlement situated 320 metres south east of Higher Tor is a Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement comprising several circular stone-built structures. The site consists of multiple hut circles, which represent domestic occupation and are characteristic of prehistoric upland settlements in Devon. The structures indicate a period of sustained settlement activity in this elevated landscape, though the precise dating and duration of occupation remain subjects of archaeological study. Such unenclosed settlements are typical of the later prehistoric period in south western England, reflecting patterns of dispersed rural habitation in the moorland environment.
