Deserted medieval settlement 750m south of White Hill summit is a scheduled ancient monument in Devon comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval village. The site preserves ridge-and-furrow field patterns and the foundations of domestic structures, indicative of settlement activity during the medieval period, likely from the 12th to 16th centuries. The abandonment of such settlements across Devon reflects broader patterns of demographic and economic change during the later medieval and early modern periods. The earthworks survive as low banks and shallow depressions in the landscape, providing archaeological evidence for rural settlement patterns in the upland regions of Devon.
