The prehistoric linear boundary, adjacent irregular aggregate field system and hut circles, incorporated cairns and medieval grave on north-west Roughtor is a complex archaeological site comprising multiple periods of land use and settlement on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. The site incorporates Bronze Age and Iron Age elements, including hut circles indicative of domestic settlement, field boundaries suggesting pastoral or agricultural management, and cairns that may have served ritual or funerary purposes. A medieval grave within the complex demonstrates continued use of the landscape into later periods, indicating the site's persistent significance across more than two millennia. The irregular field patterns and boundary systems reflect the prehistoric and early medieval communities' adaptation to the moorland terrain and their organization of settlement and agricultural space.
