Enclosed settlement 280m south-west of the Ordnance Survey triangulation pillar on Cox Tor is a prehistoric settlement site located on the moorland of Dartmoor in Devon. The monument comprises an enclosed area defined by a substantial bank and ditch, characteristic of Iron Age or Romano-British defensive settlement architecture on the Southwest Peninsula. The site's elevated position on Cox Tor would have provided both defensive advantage and visibility across the surrounding moorland landscape. The enclosed settlement represents an important record of prehistoric occupation and land management practices in the Dartmoor region during the first millennium BC and potentially into the Roman period.
