The National Heritage List for England records Chysauster courtyard house settlement, fogou, round cairn and part of a prehistoric field system as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Chysauster courtyard house settlement is a Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age (circa 800–300 BC) domestic site, while the fogou is an Iron Age underground passage. The site is significant for its well-preserved Iron Age settlement and unique subterranean features, offering insights into prehistoric domestic and ritual life in southwest England.
