Little Stannon Newtake is a Bronze Age landscape monument complex located on Bodmin Moor in Devon, comprising coaxial field systems, a prehistoric settlement, two cairns, and a stone alignment. The coaxial fields represent a distinctive Bronze Age land division pattern characterised by parallel field boundaries aligned to the cardinal directions, indicating organised agricultural planning and land management during the later Bronze Age period. The site also contains evidence of domestic occupation contemporary with the field systems, alongside funerary monuments in the form of cairns and ritual or territorial markers represented by the stone alignment. Together these elements provide substantial archaeological evidence for Bronze Age settlement patterns and economic organisation on the moor.
