Deserted medieval site 1/4 mile (400m) W of Okehampton camp

This scheduled monument preserves the earthwork remains of a medieval settlement, abandoned centuries ago and now returned to the open moor west of Okehampton camp. Such sites are scattered across Dartmoor, evidence of how communities once lived and worked on higher ground before medieval settlement patterns shifted.

Today the site survives as low earthworks and field features, legible to those who know what to look for. It forms part of Dartmoor's wider landscape of deserted settlements, offering walkers a tangible connection to the moor's human history and the ways past societies adapted to this high, exposed terrain.
