Search for sites near-by OS Grid Reference

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.

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.

Butler map: 43.7.1
Notes: This site originates with Butler but is not listed elsewhere. A mound can be seen on Lidar imagery at SX 53077 86213 which matches the location given by Butler. Visited 3 June 2022 and there is clearly a substantial but badly damaged cairn at this location. It can also be seen on Google satellite imagery. Whether it is prehistoric or later clearance is hard to say but the mutilated state suggests maybe more likely a robbed out prehistoric cairn. The Great Nodden Cairns 1-3 are not listed on the HER but there is an entry for the field system which states "May include some cairns, which presumably may be clearance cairns".

Great Nodden 4 Cairn

OS Map: SX 53249 86629

Butler map: 43.7.4
Notes: Ring cairn. "Earthwork survives as a circular bank, 2.3m wide and 0.3m high surrounding an internal area measuring 13.4m in diameter. A mound measuring 6m in diam and 0.2m high stands in the centre of the area enclosed by the circular bank (mpp)". The grid reference given by Butler is a rare mistake. The Butler 43 map and the description make it clear the site is actually located in the vicinity of SX 5324 8660 which is around 400m north the grid reference given on p.245. This corrected grid reference corresponds with the cairn listed here. Visit on 20/06/22 resulted in the photo used. Follow up visit 28/04/23 - found again with difficulty despite having correct grid reference. Not easy to see in the vegetation but it is clearly there and for that reason the entry has been changed from reported cairn to cairn.

Butler map: 43.7.14
Notes: Butler: "The pit with a surrounding bank is also probably the remains of a robbed cairn". Visited 3 June 2022 ans 28/04/23. Butler suggests this pit is probably part of bronze age cairn. He could be right. Lake Viaduct can be seen from this location. A few hundred metres to the north on Lake Down there are some pits which are gun dug-outs overlooking the then railway over the viaduct. This pit doesn't look so modern and regular but it is quite overgrown.

Great Nodden M Cairnfield Master

OS Map: SX 535 870
HER: MDV14524
ShortName: CN:Great Nod M
Notes: HER referring to Butler:Cemetery comprising sixteen battered cairns along the spur to the south of Great Nodden. Another cairn was recorded on the summit in 1891 and two more show up only as crop marks bringing the total to 19 cairns. Those that survive are composed of small stones and all of them lie in a prominent position on the western slopes or on the summit of the ridge. A number have the appearance of ring cairns, a circular bank around a flat interior, but some were probably cairns of normal shape from which all the interior stones have been carted away.

This is a master record and as such marked as a duplicate, see individual records for details.

Butler map: 43.8
Notes: This is the master record for a cairn cemetry and as such set as a duplicate record. See individual entries.

A cairnfield comprising a total 12 cairns, one outlier and a group of 11.

Lake Down cairnfield. The 11 cairns forming the largest part of a cairnfield on Lake Down are situated on a narrow natural terrace on a steep west-facing slope overlooking West Devon. Nine of the mounds are sub-circular and these range in size from 2m to 6.3m in diameter and stand between 0.4m and 1.2m high. The remaining two are ovoid, and measure 6m long, 3m wide and stand up to 0.6m high. The average height of all the mounds is 0.64m. One cairn has a shallow central hollow, suggesting robbing or partial excavation. Some of the cairns may contain burials, but the group most likely represents stone clearance connected with cultivation of the area. See related records.

Notes: Butler Corn Ridge NW2. Northern most of pair of cairns near stone circle. This was previously matched to the southern terminal of the cairn row but it looks likely they are two separate cairns. This being around 5o-60 metres north of the southern one of the pair (site 10) mentioned by Butler. The southern terminal of the cairn row should be another 30 metres or so to the north and is now a seprate entry with photo and accurate grid reference. The grid reference for this record is that originally published by Butler. Field work is required to clarify this actually relates to a real feature and is nota duplicate of the terminal cairn.

Little Links Tor 2 Cairn

OS Map: SX 54291 87520
HER: MDV125847
ShortName: CN:LittleLink2
Notes: HER quoting Greeves: Apparently unrecorded prehistoric cairn in the upper reaches of the River Lyd, approximately 150 metres north of the Smallacombe valley. Located at SX 54291 87520, approximately 30 metres north-west of ring cairn MDV51428. It is a low cairn mound with a relatively level top, no more than about 0.30 metres in height, approximately 10 metres by 9.0 metres in diameter.
It lies not far north of the stone alignment MDV51434, which due to the significant amount of prehistoric activity in this area, is likely to be a prehistoric stone row.

Notes: There are 12 recorded cairns in this cairnfield, 1 outlier (cairn 1) and group of 11 cairns clustered together making 12 in total. It is impossible to match the HER entries from the descriptions provided due to lack of precision grid references on the HER for this group. For this reason the distinct cairns identified in the field and appearing in the photos have been arbitrarily allocated to one of the HER entries. The grid reference is that of the feature in the photo and is not the grid reference of the arbitrary HER entry allocated to this entry. The group was visited on 17/06/22 and 10 of the 12 cairns were recorded. Two of them, Cairn 9 and Cairn 12, were located on a follow up visit on 20/06/22. Cairn 10 and cairn 11 are oval shaped and allocated to the two HER entries that state oval shaped. Cairn 2 clearly has a central pit and cairn 12 is small - these can be matched to an HER entry.

Notes: Butler: A heather covered companion [to Hare Tor N.1] 120 m downhill to the south-west. About a third of the material has been removed from its eastern side but it is still a substantial monument. This record was not identified originally with HER MDV103626 which has a grid reference to the east of Hare Tor N.1. which can't be right. The entry for MDV103626 is now linked to Butler's Hare Tor N.2. We now have 3 records here representing the 3 grid references (one from HER and two from Butler). Do they represent two or three cairns? Fieldwork needed to clarify.

Interior measures 2.3m in diam and the surrounding 1.4m wide wall stands up to 0.3m high. NB. The grid references are a bit unmatched. This entry from Sandy gerrard originally had SX 54610 89140 but the author visited on 20/06/22 and again on 22/06/22 and foudn the feature photgrpahed with the grid reference as now listed.

Part of shceduled monument described as "This monument includes a stone hut circle lying within an irregular aggregate field system situated on a gentle north west facing slope of Corn Ridge. The field system includes at least three fields and is defined by a series of 1.5m wide and 0.4m high rubble banks, which are lynchetted where they lie along the contour. Four cairns lie within the field system, two are oblong in shape and are attached to boundary banks, whilst the others are circular and lie within the fields. The largest mound measures 6m long, 4m wide and 0.7m high and may represent a partly damaged funerary cairn, which was incorporated into the later field system. The remaining three cairns are believed to be the result of field clearance. The stone hut circle lies within the southern field, is terraced into the hillside and is composed of a stone and earth wall surrounding a circular internal area. The interior of the building measures 2.3m in diameter and the surrounding 1.4m wide wall stands up to 0.3m high."

It is not of prehistoric origin as it sits upon a number of narrow cultivation ridges associated with the post medieval field system in this area. It is more likely to be a relatively recent stone clearance heap. A similar feature (440692) lies 140m to the east."

Sourton Common Cairn Alignment

Sourton Common Cairn Alignment

OS Map: SX 54623 89529
HER: MDV50568
ShortName: CR Sourton Row
Notes: Cairn alignment crossing a ridge forming a saddle between Sourton Tor to w and corn ridge to e. It is 344.5m long, running n-s. The author of PDW visited and logged the location of the individual cairns on 09/09/2018 and again on 22/06/2022. The area to the west and north of Sourton Tor is covered with thurfurs which are geological permafrost mounds which have a similar size and appearance. This begs the question as to whether this could be some peculiar linear geological feature. However, on the site visit on 22/06/2022 it was clear many of the cairns include piles of rocks which suggest they are indeed man-made.

HER: Cairn alignment orientated north-north-east to south-south-west with 74 small cairns aand a large mound at either end. The diameters of the small cairns range from 1 metre to 2.5 metres and their heights from 0.1 metres to 0.4 metres, with a spacing of between 4 metres and 6 metres. The cairn at the southern end is 10 metres in diameter and stands up to 0.4 metres high. The cairn at the north end is 13 metres in diameter and 0.8 metres high. The alignment is cut through by a later post-medieval boundary ditch. This cairn alignment is the only known example on Dartmoor and perhaps in Britain

Sourton Tors Ancient Pool

OS Map: SX 54596 89607
HER: MDV127223
ShortName: PO Sourton Tor
Notes: Pool measures 12 by 10.5m. One of over 40 such 'sacred' pools identified on Dartmoor that are thought to have potentially been designed during the prehistoric period, and may have been used to deposit votive items, although these Dartmoor examples may have alternative significance as designed prehistoric elements in the landscape.
