Unenclosed stone hut settlement on the east side of the Erme Valley, north Harford Moor is a Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement comprising the remains of several stone-built structures scattered across the moorland landscape. The site consists of circular or oval hut foundations constructed from stone, typical of prehistoric domestic occupation in Devon's upland regions. Located on the eastern slopes of the Erme Valley on Harford Moor, the settlement reflects the pattern of dispersed highland settlement characteristic of later prehistoric communities exploiting moorland resources. The unenclosed nature of the site distinguishes it from later Iron Age settlements and suggests occupation during a period when defensive fortification was not a primary concern.
