Unenclosed stone hut settlement with enclosures north of Piles Copse is a prehistoric archaeological site located in Devon, England. The settlement comprises a cluster of stone-built structures associated with surrounding enclosures, representing evidence of Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement activity in the region. The hut circles and their accompanying field systems reflect the domestic and agricultural organisation of Iron Age communities, though the precise chronology requires further archaeological investigation. Such unenclosed settlements are characteristic of upland areas in south-west England and provide insight into the dispersed settlement patterns that preceded the more formally organised hillforts of the later Iron Age.
