Early medieval transhumance hut 740m west of Blackcoombe Farm is a scheduled ancient monument located in Cornwall. The structure represents evidence of pastoral settlement practices during the early medieval period, when upland areas were exploited seasonally for grazing and associated agricultural activities. The hut's physical remains indicate a small domestic or livestock shelter constructed in a landscape utilised through transhumant farming systems, whereby communities moved livestock between lowland winter pastures and upland summer grazing grounds. Such monuments are significant for understanding the organisation of early medieval rural settlement and the management of moorland resources in south-west England.
