Overview

History & significance

The site incorporates prehistoric coaxial and regular field systems that represent early agricultural organization of the landscape, alongside Bronze Age or Iron Age hut circles indicating domestic occupation during these periods. A deserted medieval settlement with a long house and associated droveway demonstrates continuity of settlement and pastoral activity on the site through the Middle Ages, reflecting the longstanding economic importance of this location.
