Two prehistoric settlements 1280m SSW of The Grey Wethers is a scheduled ancient monument comprising evidence of occupation dating to the Bronze Age. The site consists of the archaeological remains of two distinct settlement areas, likely representing domestic occupation and land use on Dartmoor during the second millennium BCE. Such settlements provide valuable evidence of Bronze Age community patterns, subsistence strategies, and the organisation of settlements within the moorland landscape. The monument is significant for understanding the intensity and nature of prehistoric habitation on Dartmoor and contributes to the broader archaeological record of settlement distribution across the region during this period.
