Overview

History & significance

Hut circle with associated field system 300 yards northwest of Polcoverack is a Bronze Age settlement site located in Cornwall, England. The monument comprises a prehistoric domestic dwelling in the form of a hut circle together with field boundaries that define an ancient agricultural landscape contemporary with the habitation phase. Such settlements are characteristic of upland exploitation during the Bronze Age, typically dating to the second and first millennia before Christ, and represent evidence of permanent or semi-permanent occupation combined with pastoral and arable farming practices. The survival of both structural and field components at this location provides material evidence for Bronze Age settlement patterns and land use in south-western Britain.
