The North Teign coaxial field system (western part) and associated later remains at Shovel Down, Stonetor Hill and Long Ridge is a Bronze Age and later landscape monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The coaxial field system comprises a pattern of parallel land divisions characteristic of Bronze Age agricultural organisation, with field boundaries formed by banks and walls that extend across the moorland terrain. The site includes later prehistoric and Romano-British activity represented by cairns, hut circles, and other settlement features distributed across the three named hills within the monument boundaries. The monument's significance lies in its preservation of multiple phases of land use spanning from the Bronze Age through the Romano-British period, offering evidence of sustained occupation and agricultural management across this upland landscape.
