Overview

History & significance

This monument is a Bronze Age settlement comprising an irregular aggregate field system and an associated stone hut circle, located on moorland north east of Dunnabridge Pound Farm in Devon. The hut circle represents domestic occupation typical of upland Bronze Age communities, whilst the field system reflects contemporary agricultural use of the landscape, with the irregular field boundaries characteristic of prehistoric land division patterns. The site evidences the exploitation of marginal moorland during the Bronze Age, when climatic conditions and settlement strategies permitted more extensive use of higher ground than in later periods. Such settlements, combining habitation structures with organised field systems, are significant for understanding Bronze Age land use, social organisation, and the environmental history of Devon's uplands.
