Prehistoric sites within 2km of SX 64155 89025
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 listings: In all listings clicking on the photo or the site name will open a page for the site with a larger photo and further details from the database. The database now has over 6680 records covering nearly all publicly listed sites on Dartmoor including around 4800 round houses. This level of detail is of interest to archaeologists but tends to swamp listings of sites more likely to be of interest for walkers. For this reason, the listings default to around 550 core sites only. These are the stone circles, stone rows and the ring cairns listed by Turner. The default search radius is 2 km. The controls below the map can be used to start a new search by entering a 6- or 8-digit reference (without the prefix "SX"). The search radius can be specified and you can add incremental Display layers of detail on top of the core sites. If using a more detailed layer you will need to decrease the search radius to avoid getting hundreds of search results.
- Core sites Default listing of core sites consisting of stone circles & rows and some of the major ring cairns.
- Plus cairns adds approx. 1000 cairns and other minor sites not included in the core listings but excluding round houses.
- Plus round houses adds approx. 4800 round houses.
- Plus non-sites adds in the records for sites that no longer exist or are not prehistoric sites.
- Plus duplicates adds records excluded as duplicates. Those maybe duplicate records in external listings (e.g. the Historic Environment Records). For example, some sites have been identified as cairns in some listings and interpreted as round houses in other listings and both records appear.
These listings have incorporated, matched up and merged all of the records from all of the major archaeological listings including: Worth, Grinsell, Turner, Butler, Bill Radcliffe, Sandy Gerrard, Megalithic Portal, the National Monument Records and the Historic Environment Records. The author would like to thank Bill, Sandy, the lovely people both at Megalithic Portal (especially Anne Tate who did an amazing job to link listings) and at ACE Archaeology for collaborative work over the years to synchronise and correct listings across the various websites which now interlink. A culmination of years of work the final merger of cairn records took 3 months of cross referencing in 2017 the result being a snapshot of the records at that time. This data has in turn been refined since by field work and research. The round house data was supplied by Sandy Gerrard. Grid references are in order of accuracy: from Google Earth satellite, if visible and found, from a Garmin GPS reading, if visited by the author and from the literature otherwise. Individual site pages will state the source of the grid reference and provide satellite imagery. If a site listing lacks a photo it has not yet been visited by the author in which case the grid reference is from the literature.
Currently the database only includes sites which can be represented by a grid reference. Reaves are not included as they require GIS shape technology which is beyond the current capability of this system. To see the sources for the records, look at the tables on the resources menu. The database listings can also be viewed on a Google map and downloaded as GPS datasets for Garmin devices.
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 site. You can zoom in and out and drag the map around.

Kennon Hill S.W.1 Cairn
OS Map: SX 63916 88974
HER: MDV19463
ShortName: CN Kennon SW1
Butler map: 41.1
Notes: Butler describes a heather-covered cairn with a pair of slabs visible in the body of the mound. This cairn is not covered in heather but then this photo is taken 20 year on. There are signs of the slabs in the mound so it is probably the same cairn. The HER refers to another cairn 50m due w of this one - the author could not locate that but then the area is very overgrown.

This suggests it is the other summit cairn SiteID=4112 HER=MDV52480. This record is being marked as a duplicate of SiteID=4112 HER=MDV52480.

Butler Vol 5: p.28 & Fig.9
Notes: Butler says possible cairn and cist. HER says small hut c. The author visited on 27/08/17. This is in the vicinity of many hut circles. The site itself looks like a cist when looked at from the right direction. Looked at from another direction (see photo above) it looks like a natural arrangement of rocks.

Notes: Confusion on the NMR for this record. It could be around SX643882 from the NMR record for hut circles and 3 cairns - one with a reported cist "on the lower East facing slope of Rival Tor". That is only 250 m from SX 64538835 which is where another cist is. This suggests this is in fact a duplicate record of HER 61776.

Notes: The monument includes a cairn cemetery and sinuous linear earthwork bank situated on a gentle east facing slope overlooking the valley of the Blackaton Brook.

The remainder are oval with lengths between 5.5m and 13m. Four of the mounds have been robbed or partially excavated and an edge set stone in the centre of the northern cairn may represent the remnants of a cist.

Notes: NNE of Scorhill about 2Km. "The remains of a Bronze Age stone circle situated on level ground overlooking the valley of the North Teign River and Whitemoor Marsh. The stone circle measures 24.8 metres in diameter and is denoted by five upright granite slabs standing up to 0.76 metres high. A further 12 recumbent stones lie where they have fallen." Also known as the Throwleigh circle. According to R.N. Worth, although not confirmed since, there was "a small cairn between five and six yards in from the southern edge" and also there is a companion circle a short distance on the slope westward, 60 feet in diameter consisting of four stones with a possible large central pillar, see T.D.A.

Kennon Hill Reported Cist
OS Map: SX 64375 88926
ShortName: CT KennonHill
Butler map: 49.22
Notes: This looks like a cist but is in fact remains from tar and feather work as identified by Robert Naylor. This photo taken in August 2014 by the author and labelled as "looks like a cist" and marked as a Garmin waypoint "cist?". Located on the southern slope of Kennon Hill in an area of very deep tussocky grass. The author was unable to get back to check it out and posted about this on 4 February 2020 on a Dartmoor Facebook group. The author is grateful to Robert Naylor for having checked it out and clarifying that it is not a cist. Listing here as not a cist will help those in future who stumble across this. For more on this thanks to Max Piper and Dartefacts, see: feather-and-tare-cist-on-kennon-hill

HER: MDV4374
Megalithic Portal: 528
PMD: White Moor Stone Circle
ShortName: SC White Moor
DPD page: 154
Turner: G11
Notes: The circle is in good condition today but only 13 stones remained standing when the Dartmoor Exploration Committee re-erected 5 of the stones in 1896. The site is a fairly accurate circle of circumference 20.2m. A cairn lies close to the circle, a heather covered mound about 8.5m across. The White Moor stone lies 160m to the SE of the circle and it is thought to be contemporary with the circle but probably out of position having been re-erected at some point. It is now a boundary marker. See also, Legendary Dartmoor: Dartmoor's Bronze Age Landscape of Whitmoor.
