The Irregular aggregate field system, stone hut circles and post-medieval fields on the north-east slope of Cox Tor is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the substantial remains of prehistoric and later rural settlement and land organisation on Dartmoor. The site contains Bronze Age stone hut circles interspersed within an irregular aggregate field system characteristic of prehistoric pastoral land use, alongside later post-medieval field boundaries that overlie and modify the earlier landscape. The irregular field layout and hut circle distribution reflect the long history of human occupation and land management across this moorland slope, with evidence spanning from the Bronze Age through to the post-medieval period. The monument's surviving archaeological features provide important evidence for understanding patterns of settlement, agriculture, and landscape change in the upland zones of south-west England over an extended timespan.
