Unenclosed stone hut circle settlement west of Butter Brook Reservoir is a Bronze Age settlement located in Devon, England. The site comprises a collection of stone hut circles characteristic of upland settlement patterns during the Bronze Age period, when such structures served as domestic dwellings in exposed moorland environments. The unenclosed nature of the settlement indicates it was not defended by fortification works, which is typical of many Bronze Age domestic sites in the southwest peninsula. The stone construction of the individual hut circles represents a distinctive building tradition of this period in Devon's archaeological landscape.
