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.

ShortName: CN:Snowdon 1
Butler map: 58.10.1
Grinsell: BUC 4
Notes: The most southerly of a line of four cairns. Visible on Google earth. HER: Cairn with a diameter of 23.3m and 1m high and is constructed of boulders, of all sizes and has been heavily disturbed, especially on its east side, where a modern marker cairn, 1.5 m high and 3m diameter has been erected Grinselll: Cairn, hollow towards centre, crowned by modern stone heap, measuring 24.0 meters in diameter, and 1.0 meter in height. Butler: Southernmost of four cairns on Snowdon, this is the largest and is composed of a loosely piled mass of medium-sized stones. There are traces of an outer rim surrounding the pitted and hollowed interior and the cairn may have originally been more structured as the tops of some vertically set slabs are visible within the body of the mound which seem to form part of an inner ring. One block 0.8 metres high which is particularly noticeable within the western side of the mound is likely to have originally have stood on the margin.

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:Mardle 2
Butler map: 58.12.2
Grinsell: HOL 13
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.

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.

Mardle Valley 8 Cairn
OS Map: SX 6778 6876
HER: MDV62033
ShortName: CN:Mardle 8
Notes: HER: One of two, possibly three, hut circles on the moderate west-facing slope above the left bank of the River Mardle. This third, possible, hut consists of coursed boulder and rubble walls 0.6m wide and 0.5m high enclose a roughly circular area 2.0m in diameter with a possible entrance in the south side. It is not certain whether this is a small hut circle or an elaborate clearance cairn relating to the medieval or later exploitation of this area.
Visit by author 02/10/2025 to look for this site. Unable to locate cairns 5-8 due to dense vegetation cover. This site might be easier to locate when the bracken has died back more in the winter or early spring.

Pupers Hill 1 Cairn
OS Map: SX 67391 67441
HER: MDV13191
ShortName: CN:PupersHill1
Notes: Robinson R A barrow lying between Puper’s Rock and Inner Pupers. A low circular mound lying on fairly level ground in an area of turf and heather, visible due to the difference in heather growth on the mound. The mound is flat topped, measuring 0.5 meters high and 4.5 meters in diameter north-south, but only 3.0 meters east-west. There is a well-defined kerbstone concealed by heather and probing of the mound shows it to have been stone built. At the centre a cavity extends downwards beside a flat slab of stone set on edge around 0.6 meters long, lying east-west, which may represent the remains of a cist.
The author visited this on 13 July 2024 and there is indeed a clear cavity into this cairn.

Mardle Embanked Cairn Circle
OS Map: SX 67526 69359
HER: MDV5308
Megalithic Portal: 3374
Alternate name: Mardle Valley 1 Embanked Cairn Circle
ShortName: CC Mardle 1
Butler map: 58.12.1
Turner: B11
Notes: Turner: Embanked stone circle; an annular bank of earth and/or stone with an inner edge of orthostats. Much disturbed. Internal diam 6.5m with bank 1.2m wide and 0.4m high. This cairn has a very interesting structure appearing to be multiple circles of stones similar to the cairns at Corringdon Ball. This structure is difficult to capture in a photograph as the stones are small and the site much disturbed.
HER: A flat-topped cairn with a disturbed bank around its crest lies on a moderate south-west slope above the left bank of the River Mardle. The feature is circular, 11.8 metres in diameter, and stands a maximum of 0.8 metres high. The stoney ring measures 1.2 metres wide and 0.3 metres high and there are no traces of a cist or kerb in the main structure. The source of the disturbance is unclear though there does not appear to have been an excavation.
This cairn has been cleared of vegetation by the DPA in September 2025 and the author visited shortly afterwards on 02/10/2025. The main photo is from 15/07/2016 and the secondary photo was taken after the recent clearance work. The grid reference taken on 02/10/2025 was SX 67524 69358 which is a close match to the retained one from 2016.

Most are piled to the west of the outcrop but overall they form a cairn 16.0m in diameter and 1.0m high. On the southern side the precise perimeter is difficult to determine since a spread of stone on the surface extends for a further 8.0 metres. This site is on the local list of Nationally Important Dartmoor sites.. Turner: Ring cairn incorporating a large flat-topped granite outcrop. The stone ring measures 17 meters in diameter internally with 2.5 meter wide bank 0.6 meters high. There are the remains of a stone circle, around 1.0 meter high within the outcrop.
