Unenclosed stone hut settlement south-west of Gutter Tor is a Bronze Age archaeological site located on Dartmoor in Devon. The settlement comprises the remains of multiple stone-built roundhouses characteristic of prehistoric moorland occupation, dating to the Bronze Age period. The huts are unenclosed, meaning they lack the surrounding field systems or defensive boundaries found at other contemporary settlements, suggesting a settlement pattern focused on pastoral or transient use of the moorland. The site represents important evidence for Bronze Age settlement patterns and land use on Dartmoor, contributing to understanding of how prehistoric communities exploited the upland landscape.
