The prehistoric coaxial field systems on East Moor and Ridge is a multi-period archaeological complex incorporating Bronze Age and Iron Age land divisions alongside later medieval field patterns. The site comprises two adjacent coaxial field systems characterised by parallel linear boundaries, associated with stone hut circles and cairns that indicate sustained prehistoric settlement and land use. The regular layout of the field systems reflects Bronze Age and Iron Age agricultural organisation, while the presence of medieval fields demonstrates continuity and reuse of the landscape into the medieval period. This palimpsest of archaeological features across different periods provides significant evidence for understanding long-term patterns of settlement, agriculture and land management in prehistoric and medieval Cornwall.
