Fox Tor and Treburland Farm is a complex of prehistoric and later archaeological remains on Dartmoor in south Devon, comprising evidence of sustained human activity spanning multiple millennia. The site preserves a coaxial field system of Bronze Age date, characterised by parallel linear boundaries that represent one of the earliest systematised approaches to agricultural land division in Britain. Associated with this prehistoric landscape are hut circles of the same period, together with a stone setting and additional linear boundaries that may relate to later phases of use. The monument also incorporates evidence of medieval settlement, demonstrating continuity of occupation and land use across the transition from prehistory into the historic period.
