This cairnfield, unenclosed stone hut circle settlement and boundary stone located 380 metres south west of a ford on the Small Brook in Devon is a prehistoric monument of Bronze Age date. The site comprises scattered cairns and at least one stone hut circle, characteristic of upland settlement patterns typical of the second millennium BCE. The presence of boundary stones indicates land division and organisation of the landscape during the Bronze Age period. Such settlements represent important evidence for prehistoric pastoralist and agrarian communities that exploited Devon's moorland environments in antiquity.
