Overview

History & significance

Two enclosures and a cairnfield 180m north east of Crazy Well Pool is a Bronze Age monument located in Devon, England. The site comprises two substantial enclosures associated with a cairnfield, a landscape feature characteristic of later prehistoric settlement and land use patterns in the upland regions of south-west England. The monument dates to the Bronze Age period, when such enclosed settlements and field systems were established across Dartmoor and the surrounding moorlands. The combination of enclosures and cairnfield represents evidence of pastoral and possibly agricultural activity during this formative period of landscape organisation in Devon's prehistoric past.
