Overview

History & significance

Agglomerate enclosure and 15 stone hut circles 560m west of Cawsand Beacon is a Bronze Age settlement located on the high moorland of Bodmin Moor in Devon, England. The site comprises a substantial cluster of domestic structures represented by stone-built circular hut circles, typically characteristic of later prehistoric settlement patterns in south-western Britain, alongside an associated enclosure constructed from the local agglomerate stone. The density and arrangement of hut circles suggest a period of concentrated occupation and indicate the importance of this moorland location for pastoral and domestic activities during the Bronze Age. The stone construction and elevated moorland setting are consistent with upland settlement practices during this period, when such exposed locations were exploited for agriculture and herding.
