The monument is of national importance as a well preserved settlement and field system of the Bronze Age which has the potential to increase our knowledge of prehistoric settlement and agriculture. The settlement and field system are of particular importance because of the proximity of other monuments of similar date; taken together they have the potential to enhance considerably our understanding of the development and organisation of the prehistoric landscape.
