This unenclosed stone hut circle settlement is a Bronze Age monument located on the moorland north east of Hemstone Rocks in Devon. The site comprises multiple stone hut circles constructed without formal defensive enclosure, accompanied by two cairns and evidence of an associated field system, indicating a pattern of pastoral and agricultural exploitation typical of Bronze Age upland settlement. The field system demonstrates the organized land division practices of the period, suggesting sustained occupation and landscape management. Such moorland settlements are characteristic of the Bronze Age economy, reflecting communities engaged in mixed farming practices on marginal upland terrain during the second and early first millennia before the Common Era.
