Coaxial fields and prehistoric settlements located 180 metres north and 350 metres north-west of Hartland Tor comprise evidence of Bronze Age and Iron Age land organisation and habitation in Devon. The coaxial field systems represent a planned approach to agricultural subdivision characteristic of later prehistoric periods, whilst the associated settlement remains indicate sustained occupation of this upland area. These monuments contribute to understanding of prehistoric settlement patterns and land use practices on Dartmoor's northern margins, demonstrating the extent of organised farming communities in the southwest peninsula during the second and first millennia before Christ.
