Settlement on Smallacombe Rocks is a prehistoric settlement located in Devon. The site comprises the remains of structures from the Bronze Age or Iron Age period, reflecting patterns of habitation and land use in south-western England during these prehistoric periods. The settlement's location on elevated rocky terrain is characteristic of defensible positions favoured during these eras. The archaeological evidence from the site contributes to understanding of settlement distribution and domestic organisation in Devon during the later prehistory of Britain.
