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.

Scorhill S.5 Reported Cairn

Scorhill S.5 Reported Cairn

OS Map: SX 65519 87191
ShortName: CN Scorhill S5
Butler map: 38.4.2
Butler Vol 5: p.172 & Fig.112
Notes: Butler entry, coords given are for 38.8.2. Previously listed here as Scorhill S.2 (duplicate), CNxScorhill 9. In volume Two on p.243 are listed entries 4.1 and 4.2 as S.1 and S.2 which appears to duplicate other entries. The diagram in Fig. 175 in Volume 5 has 5 Scorhill South cairns. This entry and 4.1 have been resinstated as non-duplicates and arbitrarily assigned to S4 and S5.

That leaves S3 missing next to S2 and a new record will be created to cover that one. The grid reference for S5 from Butler Vol 5 diagram approximates to SX 65519 87191.

OS Map: SX 63916 88974
HER: MDV19463
ShortName: CN Kennon SW1

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.

Wild Tor N.E.1 Cairn

OS Map: SX 62912 88080
HER: MDV4370
ShortName: CN:Wild Tor 1
Butler map: 41.6
Grinsell: THR 1
Notes: This is probably the cist and cairn excavated by Baring-Gould c1900. No trace of a cist today. Spooner observed a cairn in this vicinity in 1960. This maybe the cist excavated in 1900 or could be a different feature. Grinsell recorded these with two separate records.

DEC Report (1902): About a mile beyond Watern Tor, in a direct line with Hound Tor, there is a ruined cairn with a short reave running up to it. The cairn contained the remains of a very fine kistvaen, the longitudinal lie of which was north-west to south-east. One side and one end stone remain. The kist contained a circular pit dug into the "calm" to the depth of 18 inches, and in this a little wood charcoal was found. When complete this kistvaen must have been an exceedingly fine one, for the side stone is 7 feet long and the end stone 4 feet 4 inches. Two large flat stones close to the cairn were probably used as coverers.

Blackaton Brook 1 Cairn

OS Map: SX 64545 90378
HER: MDV59576
PMD: Blackaton Brook
ShortName: CT:Blackaton 1
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 cairn cemetery survives as a linear cluster of six mounds standing between 0.6m and 1.3m high. Three of the mounds are circular in shape with their diameters varying between 4.5m and 8m. 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.

Update 29/12/2024 The PMD entry formerly had a separate duplicate record SiteID=3068. This has been deleted and details merged into this record. The identification of the PMD cist with Cairn 1, northern most cairn, is uncertain and will need confirming by fieldwork.

Grinsell: ST 6
Notes: Not located. Cairn on summit of hill of Little Hound Tor (Prowse 1890s). Grinsell and later observers were unable to locate this cairn. There are two cairns on the summit of Little hound tor. 6A includes material piled on a rocky outcrop. This record is described as being "W of little hound tor". 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.

Buttern Hill 2 Reported Stone Circle

OS Map: SX 64882 88469
HER: MDV4392
Megalithic Portal: 725
PMD: Buttern Hill W
ShortName: SC:Buttern 2
Notes: R.N. Worth Throwleigh (i.e.Buttern) circle is also noteworthy for having a companion, a short distance on the slope to the westward. The existence of this circle has not been put on record until now, and indeed it might well escape observation, seeing that there are only four certain stones still standing, with possibly a fifth, and that the remainder have disappeared. This circle was clearly not less than 60 feet in diameter. There is a very large block of irregular outline within its limits, which at one time may have stood fully six feet high. Menhirs occur in circles in Cornwall.

Kennon Hill 1 Reported Stone Circle

OS Map: SX 64354 89001
ShortName: SC:KennonHill1
Notes: Possible stone circle reported by Robert Naylor.

R.N. Worth Throwleigh (i.e.Buttern) circle is also noteworthy for having a companion, a short distance on the slope to the westward. The existence of this circle has not been put on record until now, and indeed it might well escape observation, seeing that there are only four certain stones still standing, with possibly a fifth, and that the remainder have disappeared. This circle was clearly not less than 60 feet in diameter. There is a very large block of irregular outline within its limits, which at one tirne may have stood fully six feet high. Menhirs occur in circles in Cornwall.

HER: Possible circle circa 180 metres north-west of the Buttern Hill circle comprising four or five stones around a fallen standing stone. Recorded by Worth (1894) and apparently seen by the Ordnance Survey in 1950, although the recorder in 1951 could not locate it, this feature has not been confirmed since 1950.

Rival Tor Reported Cairn

OS Map: SX 644 881

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 Kennon Hill S.1 Reported Cist (HER61776).

THE HER grid reference for this is almost 1km out. The grid reference given is SX 63630 91370 which is centered on Cosdon Hill as a geographical entity. THis entry clearly relates to the cairn and cist at the end of the stone row so we will give it a grid reference of SX 64330 91600.

Confirmed duplicate - no action required on HER. Removing from PDW Guide listing.

OS Map: SX 65203 89798
HER: MDV13020
PMD: Forder Brook
ShortName: CT:Throw 6
Notes: Round cairn. Diameter 6.4 metres, height 1 metre. Cist 0.6 metres wide, oriented north-south. Central pit 1.5 metres by 1.1 metres by 0.25 meters deep. Situated on downslope edge of a natural terrace. Three edge set stones lying parallel to each other are exposed in the central pit. The two eastern ones may represent the edges of a cist with a length or width of 0.6 metres. A number of edge set stones around the edge represent a kerb. Gorse covered. NOTE: NMR gives location as SX 6519 8978.

The overgrown feature in the photo from 17/03/2025 is possibly this feature but it is a considerable distance from the NMR grid reference. That is located at SX 65203 89798

Kennon Hill 2 Reported Stone Circle

OS Map: SX 64201 88735
HER: MDV130499
ShortName: SC:KennonHill2
Notes: Hemery, E., 1983, High Dartmoor, 796-797 When referring to Sandy Road, Hemery records that in crossing the south foot of Kennon between Rewelake Pit and Sandy Ford, it passes below the ruins of a possible stone circle. Spencer (Maps) has marked this as 'Kennon Circle six stones standing' and, running north-eastward from it, 'stone row one hundred yards'. The circle is decribed as 'completely unphotogenic', appears to have had a diameter of approximately sixty feet and now has only one standing stone. Not able to confirm the stone row.

Cunis, E, 2020, Possible stone circle and row, Kennon (14/12/2020) Features recorded during site visit with archaeologist from Dartmoor National Park Authority. Photographs of the features included. Possible stone circle and row recorded. In a very ruinous condition with vegetation covering the majority of the stone row. Circle SX 64201 88735, Row SX 64246 86657.

The feeder referred to is the Cheriton Comb which passes a boggy area. This would place the row at approximately SX 648 908. There is no known stone row at this point and this author is unaware of other accounts. This section of the Blackaton Brook has been greatly disturbed by stream workings.

At 225 feet from the west end there is a slight change in direction and the rows turn somewhat northward. This change of direction may be said to divide the row into western and an eastern section. Overall width, western part is 8 feet 10 inches, eastern part 10 feet 8 inches. The cairn is 26 feet in diameter and contains the remains of two cists; the retaining circle is very irregular. There is no formal feature to mark the termination of the rows at their eastern end"

Notes: The cist was originally noted by Falcon as being approximately 3 1/2ft to 4ft long and 2ft wide, aligned apparently NE-SW. The SW and NE sides were fairly recognizable. This cist is very near to the Cosdon Hill 4 cairn (Cosdon Beacon Cairn Circle and Cist (SiteID=419), MDV6925) and the details of this site have been incorporated and sometimes confused by numerous authors. Butler perhaps gives a fleeting mention as "Two slabs on the edge of the pit are probably the sides of a cist." although it is not clear whether this is a reference to part of Cosdon Hill 4. Neither the NMR nor the HER have separate entries for this feature but it is mentioned as part of the covreage of Cosdon Hill 4 "Two stones set on edge on the eastern periphery of the mound may represent a second cist."

Measurements: length 15.5m, width 3.5 to 5.5m, height 0.8m. This features differs from the other Gidleigh chamber tombs (North and South) as there is no evidence for a passage. It appears to be on the same axis and similar to the Corringdon ball example. Orientation south, south-west by north, north-east.

Kennon Hill Cairn Circle

Kennon Hill Cairn Circle

OS Map: SX 64213 88723
HER: MDV130499
ShortName: CC:Kennon Hill
Notes: This cairn circle has a diameter of 10 metres or approx 30 feet. It has a slab in its centre which matches the 1894 report by R.N. Worth except for the size and distance/location of the Buttern Hill stone circle. The central area of the circle is raised and the circle has a ring or bank. The raised centre suggests it is not a round house.

R.N.Worth Throwleigh [Buttern] circle is also noteworthy for having a companion, a short distance on the slope to the westward. The existence of this circle has not been put on record until now, and indeed it might well escape observation, seeing that there are only four certain stones still standing, with possibly a fifth, and that the remainder have disappeared. This circle was clearly not less than 60 feet in diameter. There is a very large block of irregular outline within its limits, which at one tirne may have stood fully six feet high. Menhirs occur in circles in Cornwall.

Hemery, E., 1983, High Dartmoor, 796-797 When referring to Sandy Road, Hemery records that in crossing the south foot of Kennon between Rewelake Pit and Sandy Ford, it passes below the ruins of a possible stone circle. Spencer (Maps) has marked this as 'Kennon Circle six stones standing' and, running north-eastward from it, 'stone row one hundred yards'. The circle is decribed as 'completely unphotogenic', appears to have had a diameter of approximately sixty feet and now has only one standing stone. Not able to confirm the stone row.

Kennon Hill Reported Cist

Kennon Hill Reported Cist

OS Map: SX 64375 88926
ShortName: CT KennonHill
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

PMD: White Moor Stone Circle

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. Breton p.52. See also, Legendary Dartmoor: Dartmoor's Bronze Age Landscape of Whitmoor.

Notes: N. Teign. Claimed by Butler.See also Butler Vol 5 p. 249 fig. 175. Possible stone row near long cairn south-east of the Scorhill stone circle recorded by Butler (1991), although Gerrard was not convinced during Monument Protection Programme visit in 1998 and was not included in scheduling. Site visit in 2021 recorded potential row.. Visited by author on 06/02/2025 and the feature can be seen but currently looks like stones that may have been disturbed, tumbled, from the cairn that happen to form a short linear features. Changed entry from stone row to reported stone row as I'm inclined to agree with Gerrard.

Notes: HER: (1950) Stone row. SX 65628794 to SX 65748782. (09/07/1974) There is no alignment of stones in this area of moorland which can be considered other than natural. It is doubtful if the alleged stone row was ever seen by Crawford. The information most probably came from H H Breton, an unreliable correspondent of c 1925.

Shilstone Lane Reported Cairn

Shilstone Lane Reported Cairn

OS Map: SX 65955 90139
ShortName: CN-Shilstone
Notes: This record arose from a posting by Clive Darke on a Dartmoor Facebook forum. Clive posted a photo of this feature on the side of the road and asked whether it could perhaps be a re-used menhir in a Devon wall. Alan Endacott observed that it is on Shilstone Lane and Shilstone is a place name often associated with dolmens such as Shilstone common by Spinsters Rock near Drewsteignton. There are also other large slabs that could conceivably be remains of a destroyed site in the wall. The location of this feature is the side of the road between Shilstone Tor and Shilstone Farm. This particlaur stone is in fact a large slab that goes back into the bank and as such could perhaps have been a capstone. This combination of place name suggesting a long lost dolmen and possible remains is reminiscent of another site called Shilstone near Widecombe, see Chittleford Hill Reported Cairn. That location was registered on the HER and NMR as a "Possible site of a Neolithic barrow found in the field walls by the roadside [...] A very large orthostat, or shiner (sic), standing here which may have been a capstone. Nearby fields called 'Shelstone Lay' point to the existence of a cromlech. Also the walls of the field contain a large number of very large slabs and pillar-like stones such as might have formed a megalthic tomb". That description could almost apply to this record. The author would like to thank Clive Darke and Alan Endacott for the information behind this record. The photo was kindly supplied by Alan and copyright remains with him.

Breton p.57 At the next fork of the road there is a farm whose name is Langstone, indicates that a menhir or longstone once stood there. There is a road which turns to the left from Throwleigh Church which leads to a farm named Shilstone. Shilstone or Shelf Stone, was the name for a cromlech. One of these monuments formerly stood near by.
