Dinnever Hill is a complex archaeological site in Cornwall comprising overlapping structures that document land use across multiple periods. The prehistoric embanked platform cairn represents Bronze Age or Iron Age activity, whilst the linear boundary feature demonstrates the organisation of land during the prehistoric period. Medieval occupation is evidenced by a superimposed boundary and an adjacent clearance cairn, indicating continued use and reorganisation of the landscape during the Middle Ages. The site illustrates the palimpsest of settlement and land management practices across southern Cornwall, with successive communities exploiting and restructuring the same hilltop location over many centuries.
