The prehistoric enclosure located 500 metres south-east of Sparretts Farm in Cornwall is a scheduled ancient monument that demonstrates evidence of sustained human settlement across multiple periods. The site contains a stone hut circle of prehistoric date, indicating habitation during the Iron Age or Bronze Age, alongside fragmentary remains of a medieval field system that overlay the earlier settlement. The juxtaposition of these archaeological features illustrates the long history of land use and agricultural activity in this part of Cornwall. The monument's survival, despite subsequent medieval agricultural activity, provides valuable evidence for understanding settlement patterns and land exploitation from prehistoric times through the medieval period.
