Prehistoric unenclosed hut circle settlement incorporating a medieval tin miners' cache and medieval shelter 1.285 kilometres north-west of Wardbrook Farm is a multi-period archaeological site in Cornwall. The settlement comprises prehistoric hut circles of Bronze Age or Iron Age date, demonstrating domestic occupation during the later prehistory of south-west England. The site shows subsequent reuse during the medieval period, when tin miners utilised the location, leaving behind a cache of metalworking or mining-related materials and constructing a shelter structure. The palimpsest of occupation across these distinct periods illustrates the long continuity of settlement and resource exploitation in this part of Cornwall.
