Watern Oke Settlement, Dartmoor, Devon UK - Remains of Settlements on Waymarking.com

Long Description:
Prehistoric round houses also are known as hut circles. They are made of upright granite slabs or of ‘drystone’ walling, with a gap for the entrance. They can be up to 1m high and 3-10m in diameter. They had a conical roof of wood and turf or thatch. These houses were very often isolated but usually found in groups over a hillside.
In this settlement there are many round houses on the upper edge of the large clitter of Watern Oke over looking the Tavy.
