Prehistoric enclosed settlement 950m north east of Ditsworthy Warren House is a Bronze Age or Iron Age fortified settlement located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site is defined by a substantial circular or sub-circular enclosing bank and ditch, characteristic of enclosed settlements typical of the later prehistoric period in south-western England. The monument represents evidence of sedentary community occupation and defensive organisation during the Bronze Age or Iron Age, periods when such enclosed hilltop and moorland settlements served as focal points for pastoral and mixed subsistence economies. The site's survival as an upstanding earthwork on the open moorland provides important archaeological evidence for the settlement patterns and land use practices of prehistoric Devon communities.
