This site comprises a complex of overlapping prehistoric, medieval, and post-medieval features located northwest of Wardbrook Farm in Cornwall. The prehistoric linear boundary and field system represents evidence of ancient land organisation and agricultural practice, whilst the medieval enclosure indicates continued settlement and land use in the early medieval period. Tin miners' caches found at the location reflect the post-medieval exploitation of mineral resources in this part of Cornwall, a practice that shaped the landscape and economy of the region. The superimposition of these features across different periods demonstrates the palimpsest nature of the Cornish landscape, with successive communities making use of and modifying the same areas over more than two millennia.
