Three agglomerated enclosures, a round cairn and part of the Stannon block field system lying within Great Stannon Newtake is a Bronze Age monument complex located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises three adjoining prehistoric field enclosures together with a round cairn, forming part of the wider Stannon block field system, a substantial arrangement of stone-walled fields characteristic of Bronze Age pastoral land use on the moor. The cairn and enclosures represent evidence of settlement and agricultural organisation during the Bronze Age period, demonstrating the intensive management of moorland for livestock herding and habitation. The preservation of these elements within the later Great Stannon Newtake, an eighteenth-century agricultural improvement, provides archaeological insight into the long-term use and reuse of this upland landscape.
