Overview

History & significance

Two stone hut circles with adjacent prehistoric field wall and incorporated medieval transhumance hut 180m north east of Tresibbet Farm is a multi-period settlement site located in Cornwall combining evidence of both prehistoric and medieval occupation. The site comprises two circular stone structures characteristic of Bronze Age domestic settlement, accompanied by associated field boundaries of prehistoric date, with later medieval reuse of one structure as a transhumance hut, reflecting the continuity of pastoral land-use practices across the landscape. The prehistoric field wall demonstrates the organized agricultural management of the upland landscape during the Bronze Age, whilst the incorporation of one hut circle into a medieval shepherding structure illustrates the persistence of settlement patterns and the reactivation of Bronze Age features for later seasonal pastoral activities. This layering of archaeological evidence from the Bronze Age through to the medieval period provides valuable insight into long-term land exploitation and the adaptation of prehistoric monuments for later economic purposes.
