Prehistoric settlement and irregular aggregate field system 340m south west of Laughter Hole Farm is a Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement site located in Devon. The monument comprises the earthwork remains of a prehistoric settlement associated with an irregular field system, representing land organisation and habitation patterns characteristic of later prehistoric communities in south-west England. The site's irregular field boundaries, formed by low banks and lynchets, indicate the incremental development of agricultural land typical of Bronze Age and Iron Age rural settlement. The survival of these earthworks provides evidence of prehistoric land use and settlement hierarchy within the Devonshire landscape.
