Hut circles near High-house Waste

This is one of several groups of prehistoric stone hut circles scattered across the moorland west of High-house Waste. The structures date to the Bronze Age, when communities built and lived in these small stone-founded dwellings on Dartmoor's open ground. The hut circles are the remains of roundhouses, their stone footings still visible as low rings in the turf and heather.

Visiting today, you walk among the archaeological traces of Bronze Age life on the moor. The site sits in open moorland, part of a wider pattern of ancient settlement that shaped Dartmoor's character. These humble foundations tell of resilience and long occupation in a landscape that has changed less than the lives lived within it.
