The unenclosed stone hut circle settlement and associated fields north of Standon Down is a Bronze Age settlement complex located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises multiple stone hut circles set within a landscape of prehistoric field systems, representing evidence of domestic occupation and agricultural management during the Bronze Age period. The hut circles are constructed from stone and appear as roughly circular or oval foundations, whilst the associated field boundaries consist of banks and reaves typical of Bronze Age land organisation on the moor. This settlement type reflects the pattern of dispersed habitation and pastoral farming practices that characterised Bronze Age communities on Dartmoor during the second and early first millennia before the Common Era.
