Two enclosures and a cairnfield 180m north east of Crazy Well Pool
Devon
This scheduled monument comprises two separate enclosures and a cairnfield spread across the moorland northeast of Crazy Well Pool. The structures likely date to the Bronze Age, when this part of Dartmoor saw sustained settlement and land use. The enclosures may have served as stock compounds or domestic spaces, while the cairnfield, a scatter of stone mounds across the landscape, probably marks burial practices or cleared field boundaries from the same period.
Today the site sits among open moorland typical of central Dartmoor, where Bronze Age remains are common but often subtle. The enclosures and cairns are visible as low banks and stone heaps to those who know what to look for. Walking here puts you among the traces of people who shaped this landscape over three thousand years ago.
