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.

Holne Lee 2 Cairn

OS Map: SX 67884 69583
HER: MDV13208
ShortName: CN:Holne Lee 2
Butler map: 58.11.2
Grinsell: HOL 10
Notes: HER: Grinsell (1978) described an additional cairn 'D' here, 10.0m. in diameter and 0.6m. high with a hollow in or near the centre. The Royal Commission Holne survey (1997) records this possible feature as 'somewhat enigmatic'; while from some aspects it resembles a cairn, it is probably the debris from a prospecting pit allied to the nearby extensive tinworking remains. Gerrard: One of 5 cairns on Holne Lee situated 2 kilometres south-west of Fore Stoke. Round cairn. Measures 9.5m by 7.8m. Central pit 4.4m by 2.9m. The mound is orientated at 340 degrees. The structure now looks like a rectangular building rather than a cairn. On balance, however, given its location it is more likely to represent a cairn. Butler: trenched and hollowed out to ground level.

Notes: HER: Round cairn, overall diameter 19.8m, is of similar form to A. having a central platform 8.7m diameter and 0.6m high, surrounded by a rim, 5.5m average width and 1.0m high. Gerrard: One of 5 cairns on Holne Lee situated 2 kilometres south-west of Fore Stoke. Round cairn. Diameter 21m, height 1.3m. Central pit 6m by 6m by 0.3m deep. Robbing pit is slightly east of the mound centre. Old animal burrows within the pit. Rushes in the pit, grass, gorse, bilberry and heather elsewhere.

Holne Lee 4 Cairn

OS Map: SX 67992 69641
HER: MDV5202
ShortName: CN:Holne Lee 4
Butler map: 58.11.4
Grinsell: HOL 12
Notes: HER: Oval cairn, 12 metres by 11 metres overall and 0.9 metres high with a regular central depression, 6 metres diameter and 0.9 metres deep. The surround is noticeably dipped to the east-south-east on the long axis, where it is only 0.6 metres high. The even turf cover of the stones and the regular profile suggest that this cairn has not been disturbed and maintains its original form as a hollow top cairn. Historic England: The monument, which falls into three areas of protection, includes five cairns forming a cairn cemetery situated on a high ridge on Holne Lee overlooking the valley of the River Dart. Four of the mounds contain pits which indicate that they have been subjected to early undocumented investigations. The eastern cairn includes a 13.3 metres diameter mound standing up to 1.3 metres high. In the centre of the mound is a 4.8 metres long by 4 metres wide and 0.7 metres deep pit. Spoil thrown up during the digging of this pit forms a heap on the southern side of the cairn.

ShortName: CN:Holne Lee 6
Butler map: 58.11.6
Grinsell: HOL 16a
Notes: HER: Oval cairn, 16 metres by 14 metres and 0.6 metres high. The central area (11 metres to 13 metres diameter) is very disturbed, with a small, off centre mound 0.6 metres high. The cairn has a rim 1.5 metres wide and 0.5 metres high, with a south-west facing gap, 2 metres wide. There is a single orthostat set into the rim on its east arc. Butler: Originally an outer bank seems to have surrounded a raised interior but this has become badly disordered and further damage has been caused to the edges by the well worn tracks approaching uphill from the ford across the Mardle

Notes: HER quoting Gerrard: Round cairn. Diameter 8m, height 0.4m. A small trench leading in from the north-west is 1.5m long by 1m wide and 0.2m deep.

This cairn has been cleared of vegetation by the DPA in September 2025 and the author visited shortly afterwards on 02/10/2025. Of the 4 cairns cleared this one I was unable to locate with certainty but I was lacking time for a thorough search. I had probably located it but was uncertain I had correctly identified it. It maybe more obvious when the bracken has died back.

Holne Lee N. Cairn

OS Map: SX 6884 7032
HER: MDV6472
ShortName: CN:HolneLee N
Butler map: 59.1
Grinsell: HOL 7
Notes: HER: A cairn situated within the field system at SX68847032 survives as a 9.7 metre diameter flat-topped mound standing up to 0.8 metres high. A small hollow in the centre of the cairn suggests that it has been partially excavated or robbed.. Possibly visible at around 20m to the east of Butler's grid reference at SX 68864 70324 on Google satellite. This record will revert to Butler's NGR until location confirmed.

Notes: HER: One of four small clearance cairns within the medieval and later field system west of Venford Reservoir. The Ordnance Survey (1977) suggested these as Prehistoric cairns, but 1996 Royal Commission field survey (1996) reclassified as Medieval or later clearance mounds. It measures 4.0m in diameter and 0.4m high with a stone content, now turf and heather covered, but no particular features. It is within a reave system and 3.0m from a north to south lynchet

Venford Brook W.2 Reported Cairn

OS Map: SX 6813 7146
HER: MDV130254

Butler map: 60.8.2
Notes: HER: Four clearance cairns of medieval or later date, one previously recorded as SX 67 SE 113, lie on the crest of the ridge overlooking the W side of Venford Reservoir. All these features have diameters of around 2.5m and remain up to 0.8m high. They lie within an area of the former Dartmeet parallel reave system (SX 67 SE 95) which was heavily disturbed by agrarian activity in the historic period. There is no evidence in the form of cists or kerbs to suggest that these were once prehistoric sepulchral monuments.

Venford Brook S.1 Reported Cairn

OS Map: SX 6763 7047
HER: MDV128837

Butler map: 60.8.3
Notes: HER: Two cairns or disturbed hut circles overlain by later clearance material lie at the foot of a steep north-facing slope above the right bank of the western tributary of the Venford Brook. These features have been Scheduled as cairns. The huts are largely infilled with small boulders and rocks and measure 6.5m and 5.5m in external diameter respectively. Both possess off-centre hollows roughly 0.5m deep and neither displays evidence of a former entrance. The fact that these features appear to be terraced into the slope would preclude their interpretation as burial cairns as suggested by Butler

Venford Reservoir E. Embanked Cairn Circle

OS Map: SX 69033 70678
HER: MDV63936
ShortName: CN:VenfordResE
Notes: HER: A ring cairn sited 6m east of the Holne to Hexworthy road and on the crest of the ridge which extends between Bench Tor and Holne Lee. The cairn consists of a low (0.2m) circular earthwork with a diameter of approximately 20m, and a central mound. Much of the circle has been effaced, possibly by road builders and a pair of tinners' pits have destroyed part of the western sector. The best preserved section is on the northern side where a low, curved bank survives with a spread of approximately 2m. The eastern side is currently occupied by a car park, delineated by a row of large, loose boulders. The section of the circle within the car park has become badly eroded and the stony cairn material is exposed. The central mound is roughly elliptical measuring 9m by 7m.

Yar Tor N.E.2 Reported Cairn

OS Map: SX 6817 7414
HER: MDV6458
ShortName: CNxYar Tor N 2
Grinsell: WID 25
Notes: The remains of a despoiled hut circle on the saddle of ground between Yar Tor and Corndon Tor.

Grinsell: possibly a cairn despoiled for material for the road to E; shown on 6 inch OS sheet as hut circle

2606 refers to a cairn that maybe a round house - most likely 9694. The author tried to find "both" on 06/06/2025 and there is a clear round house, a bit overgrown, at SX 68176 74156. There are also some possible fragmentary remains closer to the road at SX 68195 74154, see second photo. It is hard to make out but there appears to be a circular enclosed area forming a bit of a platform. It is a possible second ruined round house closer to the road.

However, on balance, it is more likely that 2606 and 9694 are references to the same feature. The photo is of the round house.

Yar Tor Tor Enclosure

OS Map: SX 67849 74046
HER: MDV128748
ShortName: EN Yar Tor
Butler map: 14.8
Notes: HER quoting Newman: A Tor enclosure of uncertain date on the northern outcrop of Yar Tor. This enclosure is situated in a natural avenue between two outcrops with vertical faces on the north and south sides which has been blocked off at the western and eastern ends by artificial stone walls. The western interior is approximately level but slopes away on the eastern side down to the wall. The north and south sides of the enclosure comprise natural linear crags of up to 2.0m high reinforced in places by large boulders. The wall at the western end is 2.1m thick and consists of a stone revetted bank with stone rubble behind surviving up to 0.8m high. The wall is slightly curved in plan. On the eastern wall there are vestiges of stone facing still in place but it is mostly collapsed and spread up to 3m wide and 0.7m high much of the wall surviving only as a disturbed stony spread. There is a possible entrance in the east wall adjacent to the northern outcrop, in the form of an opening. There are no discernable interior features.

The main photo is taken looking down from on top of one of the outcrops. Butler's possible round house can be seen within the main photo but see also a close up from ground level.
