Huts and fields on Hayne Down is a prehistoric settlement site located in Devon, comprising the remains of ancient habitation structures and associated field systems. The site dates to the Bronze Age and Iron Age periods, evidencing early agricultural communities that occupied and worked the landscape of south-western England. The huts themselves represent domestic structures characteristic of these periods, whilst the field systems demonstrate the organized cultivation and management of land by these prehistoric populations. The monument survives as earthwork remains visible in the topography of Hayne Down and contributes to the archaeological understanding of settlement patterns and land use in Devon during the later prehistory.
