Camp 325yds SE of Archerton is a scheduled monument representing an Iron Age enclosed settlement, situated on Dartmoor's open landscape. The site survives as earthwork remains and is characteristic of the defended domestic settlements that occupied the moor during the later prehistoric period. Such camps reflect patterns of settlement and land use that shaped Dartmoor's early history.
A visit offers the experience of walking to a Bronze Age and Iron Age landscape where these structures remain part of the moorland fabric. The site's location and form tell stories of how communities organised themselves and their surroundings, and why certain places on the moor were chosen for settlement. Scheduled monument status reflects its archaeological importance to understanding Dartmoor's past.
