Two irregular aggregate field systems with associated settlements, part of a coaxial field system, boundary stones and historic fields on Riddon Ridge is a complex of prehistoric and historic agricultural remains located in Devon. The site comprises irregular field divisions arranged within a broader coaxial field layout, a systematic organisational form characteristic of Iron Age and Romano-British land division in southwestern England. Associated settlement features and boundary stones indicate sustained occupation and land management across multiple periods, whilst the preservation of historic field patterns demonstrates continuity of agricultural use into the medieval and post-medieval era. The monument represents an important example of the development of landscape organisation and settlement patterns in Devon's ancient past.
