Enclosure and fields N of Yar Tor is a prehistoric monument located on Dartmoor in Devon, comprising an enclosed settlement with associated field systems. The site dates to the Bronze Age and demonstrates the agricultural organisation and settlement patterns of upland communities during this period. The enclosure itself consists of a roughly circular or sub-rectangular earthwork, typical of contemporary domestic settlements on Dartmoor, whilst the surrounding fields represent the managed landscape exploited by its inhabitants. Such upland enclosures with field systems are characteristic features of Dartmoor's Bronze Age archaeology and provide important evidence for prehistoric land use and social organisation.
