Two stone hut circles with adjacent prehistoric field wall and incorporated medieval transhumance hut 180m north east of Tresibbet Farm is a palimpsest monument reflecting multiple periods of pastoral land use in upland Cornwall. The prehistoric hut circles and associated field wall indicate Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement and agricultural organisation, whilst the medieval structure represents the continuation of pastoral activity through seasonal transhumance herding practices. The incorporation of the later medieval hut within or adjacent to the earlier prehistoric features demonstrates the longstanding importance of this location for stock management across more than two millennia. The site exemplifies the characteristic pattern of pastoral settlement across Cornish moorland, where successive communities exploited similar terrain for animal husbandry.
