The prehistoric irregular aggregate field system, stone hut circles and medieval field on the south-west slope of White Tor is a multi-period archaeological site in Devon combining evidence of Bronze Age and later medieval settlement. The Bronze Age component comprises scattered stone hut circles associated with an irregular field system characteristic of prehistoric agricultural exploitation of moorland, whilst medieval cultivation terraces and field boundaries demonstrate continued land use in the post-Conquest period. The site's location on the exposed south-western slope of the tor reflects the varying responses of successive communities to settlement and farming opportunities within this upland landscape. Together these remains provide material testimony to long-term patterns of human occupation and land management spanning over two millennia.
