Enclosed prehistoric settlement 650m south west of Longaford Tor is a Bronze Age settlement located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises an enclosed area defined by a substantial bank and ditch system, characteristic of domestic occupation during the later prehistoric period. Evidence from comparable monuments on Dartmoor suggests the settlement was inhabited during the Bronze Age, when such enclosed settlements served as permanent or semi-permanent residence for pastoral communities. The defensive or stock-containing function of the enclosing earthwork reflects the settlement patterns typical of upland Bronze Age communities in south-western Britain.
