This site is a prehistoric field system incorporating a cairnfield and a round cairn located in the moorland landscape north-west of Showery Tor in Cornwall. The remains date to the Bronze Age and represent a period of intensive agricultural use of the upland environment, with field boundaries and clearance cairns indicating systematic land organisation and cultivation practices. The associated round cairn is characteristic of Bronze Age burial monuments, reflecting the significance of the locality for both settlement and mortuary practices during this period. The irregular layout of the field system and the distribution of cairns across the site provide archaeological evidence for prehistoric land use patterns on the Cornish moors.
