The monuments located 625 metres west of Blackcoombe Farm comprise a Neolithic long cairn alongside later prehistoric field systems and medieval enclosure features that together span several millennia of land use and settlement in Cornwall. The long cairn represents burial and ceremonial activity during the Neolithic period, whilst the regular and irregular aggregate field systems demonstrate the organisation of agricultural land during the prehistoric era, with linear boundaries indicating sustained patterns of territorial division. The medieval enclosure that forms part of this complex reflects continued occupation and management of the landscape in the post-Roman period, illustrating the palimpsest of human activity across this area of Cornwall from the Neolithic through to the medieval period.
