Regular aggregate field system 480m west of West Soar is a prehistoric field system located in Devon. The monument comprises a regularly arranged pattern of small, roughly square fields created through the construction of low banks or lynchets, characteristic of Bronze Age or Iron Age agricultural organisation. Such field systems represent an important phase in the development of managed landscape and settlement hierarchies in south-western Britain during the later prehistoric period. The regular geometry of the plots suggests deliberate planning and reflects contemporary farming practices adapted to the topography and land management strategies of the period.
