Search Tool: Prehistoric monuments within 2km of SX

Guidance for walkers: The monuments featured in this database are archaeological treasures and need to be protected and preserved - please do not disturb any sites. Please check access and firing times before visiting sites, not all sites listed are on open access land. Firing ranges and boundaries of open access areas are marked on the OL28 OS Dartmoor Explorer map. Please stick to the country code and consider giving support to the numerous agencies that help to keep Dartmoor a fabulous natural and historic environment!

About the database: In all listings clicking on the photo will open a page for the site with a larger photo. The listings are drawn mainly from scientific journals and will not include the most recently discovered minor sites. There is comprehensive coverage of stone circles, stone rows and menhirs. Listings for cists and cairn circles should cover most of the better known sites. There are only partial entries for round cairns, settlements, pounds and none for reaves. For listings of specific types of monument click on Resources in the menu above. Corrections, or any feedback or suggestions are very welcome, email: info@dartmoorwalks.org.uk.

NOTE: Clicking on the icons for each monument in the map will give the name of the monument. Where icons overlap they are replaced with an icon with a number - if they are sites that are very close together then zooming in may separate them.

NMR: No record found
HER record: MDV10840
Megalithic Portal: 14788
ShortName: FT Blackbury
Notes: "Blackberry Castle. Iron Age. This is a splendid univallate hillfort with a massive flint built rampart and deep outer ditch. On the south side is the original entrance, which is slightly out-turned and originally contained a timber gateway which was probably bridged. To this entrance was added a triangular outer defence or barbican which was never completed. The present gaps in the north, west and east are recent. The site, which is in the care of the Department of the Environment, is in a beech plantation, clear of undergrowth. It was excavated by the Devon Archaeological Society between 1952 and 1954, under the direction of Mr. A. N. Young and Miss E. Richardson."

OSX: SX0
NMR: No record found
HER record: MDV1853
Megalithic Portal: 34692
ShortName: FT Hembury
Notes: "The multivallate earthworks now visible on the promontory of Hembury are basically those of an Iron Age hillfort. However, these only represent part of the site's complex history. Evidence for Mesolithic activity has been found and in the southern end was 'fortified' with string of causewayed ditches. The fort was also occupied by the Roman army during their initial conquest of the south-west in the first century AD."

The site was purchased in 2023 by the Devon Archaeological Society.

HER record: MDV15124

Notes: "High Peak Camp is a multi-period site, which encompasses the buried remains of part of an Early Neolithic causewayed enclosure and the earthworks and buried remains of part of an early medieval fortified settlement dated to the 5th and 6th centuries AD. The Early medieval defences comprise a rampart with large single flat-bottomed ditch on outside, and a smaller outer rampart on east side. Finds of imported Mediterranean amphorae are indicative of high status inhabitants with access to a European-wide trade network."
