Twelve cairns, a lynchet and a boundary bank forming part of a cairnfield 440m south-west of Raddick Hill summit is an ancient monument of Bronze Age date located on Dartmoor in Devon. The cairnfield comprises twelve clearance cairns, which represent the clearance of stones from cultivated ground, together with a lynchet, a terraced bank formed by ploughing on sloping land, and a boundary bank that would have served to demarcate land divisions within the prehistoric settlement landscape. These features are characteristic of Bronze Age agricultural activity on Dartmoor and provide evidence of systematic land management and organized farming practices during this period. The monument is now protected as a scheduled ancient monument and remains an important archaeological resource for understanding Bronze Age settlement and subsistence strategies on the moorland.
