The unenclosed stone hut circle settlement and tinners' buildings west of Dead Lake is a Bronze Age and later mining settlement located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises multiple stone-built structures including round hut circles characteristic of Bronze Age domestic occupation, alongside later buildings associated with tin extraction and processing activities that represent the continuation and intensification of resource exploitation on the moor during the medieval and post-medieval periods. The juxtaposition of prehistoric domestic remains with tinning infrastructure reflects the extended history of human activity and economic use of this upland landscape. The settlement's survival as earthworks and stone foundations provides evidence for both domestic settlement patterns and the extractive industries that shaped Dartmoor's economy across several millennia.
