The North Teign coaxial field system (western part) is a Bronze Age landscape feature located on Dartmoor in Devon, comprising a series of parallel land divisions that reflect prehistoric agricultural organisation. The system, preserved across the high moorland terrain between Shovel Down, Stonetor Hill and Long Ridge, demonstrates the characteristic layout of coaxial field divisions common to second millennium BC settlement patterns. Associated with these fields are later remains including cairns and other structures which indicate continued use and modification of the landscape through subsequent periods. The monument represents an important archaeological record of Bronze Age land management practices and the evolution of settlement organisation on Dartmoor.
The North Teign coaxial field system (western part) and associated later remains at Shovel Down, Stonetor Hill and Long Ridge is a scheduled monument protected by Historic England under reference 1017874. View the official record →
