The two adjacent transhumance huts on Caradon Hill, 450 metres north of East Caradon Farm, are a Scheduled Ancient Monument comprising a pair of Bronze Age or Iron Age structures associated with pastoral land use in upland Cornwall. The huts represent evidence of seasonal occupation and livestock management practices characteristic of prehistoric highland communities, where shepherds and herders would have occupied temporary settlements during summer grazing seasons. The structures survive as low stone-built remains, their physical form and spatial relationship indicating the organised, if temporary, nature of ancient transhumance activity on Bodmin Moor's margins. This monument type reflects the economic strategies and land exploitation patterns of prehistoric Cornish societies engaged in mixed farming systems dependent upon seasonal pastoral movement.
