Two adjacent transhumance huts on Caradon Hill, 450m north of East Caradon Farm is a Prehistoric or Early Medieval settlement comprising two stone structures situated on the upland moorland of Caradon Hill in Cornwall. The huts represent evidence of pastoral activity on the high ground, typical of transhumance practices whereby livestock herds were driven to summer pastures in the uplands. The structures are constructed from stone and reflect the temporary or seasonal occupation pattern characteristic of such upland pastoral settlement. The site remains an important record of historic land use and pastoral economy in the region, though the precise dating and full chronological span of use require ongoing archaeological investigation.
