Abstract:		 The National Trust's property at Welcombe and South Hole, near Hartland on the north coast of west Devon, includes the Iron Age fort of Embury Beacon, on a high clifftop, truncated by erosion. The fort overlies traces of earlier fields, potentially part of a co-axial system, and a mound nearby has been interpreted as a Bronze Age barrow. Early routes east and south from Embury, visible in places as lanes, link the fort to the surrounding landscape and settlements including a probable round at Mead. Medieval farmland and commons can be distinguished, despite later ploughing over parts of both, and some routes linking them are still in use. The farmland of South Hole shows derivation from a sub-divided field system developed in several phases. Recent work at Embury Beacon has revealed medieval re-use, probably related to the beacon of the place-name. Post-medieval change can be seen at Welcombe Mouth, where a sanding-way to the beach was cut through earlier fields. Earthworks by the Mouth may indicate limited occupation, perhaps linked with this sanding-way, or with an earlier way to the sea, a fragment of which remains on the cliff.
