These three enclosed hut groups represent Bronze Age settlement on Dartmoor, clustered in the landscape near Black Tor and Shipley Bridge. The huts are marked by stone circles and banks that once formed the walls of domestic structures, their arrangement suggesting family or community groups living and working on the open moor.
Today the sites are marked by low stone remains and earthworks, visible to those who know where to look among the heather and grass. They sit within the broader pattern of Bronze Age habitation that characterizes much of Dartmoor's upland landscape, offering a glimpse into how people lived on the moor in prehistory.
