Camp SE of Okehampton is a prehistoric enclosed settlement situated on moorland south-east of the town of Okehampton in Devon. The monument consists of an oval or sub-circular enclosure defined by a substantial bank and ditch, characteristic of Bronze Age or Iron Age defensive or territorial demarcation. The site occupies a commanding position on elevated terrain, typical of settlement locations from the later prehistoric period, and represents evidence of organised settlement and land use on Dartmoor during the late second or first millennium before the common era. Its physical remains contribute to understanding of prehistoric settlement patterns and social organisation across the Devon moorlands.
