Great Stannon Newtake is a Bronze Age monument complex located in Devon, England, comprising three agglomerated enclosures, a round cairn, and portions of an associated block field system. The site dates to the Bronze Age period and represents a significant example of prehistoric settlement and land use organisation on Dartmoor. The three adjoining enclosures, together with the round cairn, indicate a carefully structured landscape that served both domestic and ceremonial functions. The block field system visible within the newtake demonstrates the systematic clearance and organisation of the moorland for agricultural purposes, characteristic of Bronze Age farming communities in the region.
