Riddon Ridge is a complex of Iron Age and Romano-British field systems located in Devon, comprising two irregular aggregate field systems with associated settlement evidence integrated within a broader coaxial field arrangement. The monument includes boundary stones and historic field divisions that reflect sustained land organisation and agricultural management across the Iron Age and Roman periods. The irregular field plots suggest piecemeal development and adaptation to local topography, whilst the coaxial elements indicate more formal planning at a landscape scale. The presence of settlement features in association with the fields demonstrates the integration of domestic occupation with the surrounding agricultural landscape during this significant period of settlement intensification in south-western Britain.
Two irregular aggregate field systems with associated settlements, part of a coaxial field system, boundary stones and historic fields on Riddon Ridge is a scheduled monument protected by Historic England under reference 1018930. View the official record →
