Unenclosed stone hut circle settlement on Walkhampton Common is a Bronze Age archaeological site located approximately one kilometre north-east of Leeden Tor on Dartmoor in Devon. The settlement comprises multiple stone-built hut circles characteristic of prehistoric domestic occupation on the moorland, representing a form of dispersed settlement typical of the later Bronze Age period. The hut circles remain visible as low stone foundations and rings, preserving evidence of domestic structures that would have supported small family groups engaged in pastoral and subsistence activities. This unenclosed settlement pattern indicates a community organised without formal defensive boundaries, reflecting the social and economic organisation of Bronze Age moorland communities on Dartmoor.
