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.
