Coaxial field system, associated and later remains at Throwleigh Common and Kennon Hill is a Bronze Age and later agricultural landscape located on Dartmoor in Devon. The monument comprises a coaxial field system, a form of land division characteristic of Bronze Age settlement patterns, together with additional archaeological features including cairns and other structural remains that attest to repeated use and modification of the landscape across multiple periods. The parallel alignments of the field boundaries represent a distinctive approach to territorial organisation and land management that reflects the agricultural strategies of prehistoric communities. The site's survival as an upland archaeological complex provides important evidence for Bronze Age settlement, farming practices, and landscape use on Dartmoor.
