Shapley Common Hut Circles [3]

A group Bronze Age hut circles on Shapley Common, Dartmoor, Devon, UK. These huts were occupied by farmers around 3500 years ago. There are a total of five hut circles at this location with diameters ranging between five and nine metres. The huts have either a single or double layer of upright stones that form the walls. The northernmost hut circle lies within a small enclosure. A later linear bank passes through the site crossing the enclosure and burying the side of one of the hut circles.
