Coaxial field system, associated and later remains at Throwleigh Common and Kennon Hill is a Bronze Age and later agricultural landscape in Devon. The monument comprises a coaxial field system characteristic of prehistoric land division, wherein fields are arranged in a regular geometric pattern aligned to cardinal axes, along with associated settlement evidence and subsequent modifications dating from later periods. The site demonstrates the long-term use and evolution of the landscape from the Bronze Age through to medieval and early modern times, reflecting successive phases of agricultural organization and habitation on Dartmoor's upland terrain. The preservation of these relict field boundaries and earthworks provides important evidence for understanding prehistoric and historic patterns of settlement and land use in south-western England.
