Higher Langdon Farm is a multi-period monument in Cornwall containing evidence of prehistoric and medieval settlement and land use. The site preserves prehistoric field systems, enclosures, hut circles and rounds dating to the Bronze Age and Iron Age, which represent early agricultural communities and their territorial organisation of the landscape. Adjacent to these remains are the physical traces of medieval settlement, including a longhouse and associated field systems, indicating continuity of occupation and land management across more than two millennia. The monument thus demonstrates the long-term human exploitation and organisation of this area of the Cornish countryside, from prehistoric times through the medieval period.
