Little Stannon Newtake is a Neolithic and Bronze Age monument complex located on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, approximately 900 metres south-east of Stannon Tor. The site comprises coaxial field systems, the remains of prehistoric settlement, two cairns, and a stone alignment, representing sustained human occupation and land organisation across multiple prehistoric periods. The coaxial fields, characterised by their parallel arrangement of boundaries, reflect Bronze Age agricultural practice and land division on the moorland landscape. The cairns and stone alignment, together with evidence of settlement activity, indicate the ceremonial and domestic significance of this location during the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods, making it an important example of prehistoric moorland use and organisation in south-west England.
