Two stone hut circles and field system, 590m south of Buttern, is a Bronze Age settlement comprising domestic structures and associated agricultural land on Buttern Hill. The site forms part of a coaxial field system, characterised by parallel field boundaries running in two directions, a layout typical of later prehistoric land organisation in Devon. The stone hut circles represent domestic occupation during the Bronze Age period, whilst the ordered field arrangement demonstrates the systematic management of pastoral and arable resources contemporary with or slightly post-dating the settlement structures. This monument exemplifies the integrated settlement and land-use patterns that developed on the upland margins of Devon during the second and first millennia before the Common Era.
