Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks, walking the Stone Rows and Stone Circles of Dartmoor

Prehistoric sites within 3km of SX 55500 89300

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.

Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks: Dartmoor Site: Guide to the Cairns on Great Nodden
OS Map: SX 53695 87564
ShortName: CN-Great Nod14
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.

Notes: "a well preserved and undisturbed prehistoric cairn a short distance above the king wall". Visited 3 June 2022. The grid reference on the HER is SX 53900 87880. The grid reference SX 53860 87842 is a Garmin reading taken standing very near to it. Dense vegetation and rough terrain - I did not fancy attempting to clamber on it so not the centre of the feature as usual.

Lake Down cairn field Reported Cairn

OS Map: SX 542 888
HER: MDV12848
ShortName: CN:Lake Down15
Butler map: 43.8
Notes: A cairnfield comprising 12 cairns situated on Lake Down. Ths record has been separated into the component cairns, this record has thererfore been marked as a duplicate, the master record. In 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. Southern terminal of cairn alignment. There is no HER entry specific to this cairn but MDV50568 desribes the alignment including this cairn. The HER record duplicates MDV55327 except perhaps there shoudl be a record for the cairn alignment and a record just for this cairn. This record on PDW is just for the cairn, see also SiteID=4159 for the cairn alignment.

Notes: "this cairn forms the westernmost mound in a cairnfield. Measures 5m in diam and stands up to 0.4m high. The s part of the mound has seen limited damage, probably as a result of partial robbing and the core of large stones is therefore exposed. This cairn may contain burials, but the mound does form part of a group which most likely represent stone clearance connected with cultivation of the area"

Lake Down 2 Clearance Cairn

OS Map: SX 54185 88722
HER: MDV50945
ShortName: CN LakeDown 2
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.

HER record MDV12848 (duplicated in MDV50579) [SiteID=1356, SiteID=3206] are the master record for the cluster of 11 cairns.

(Gerrard 1993) 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 in shape 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 in shape, and these measures 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 hollow in the centre of the mound, 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 subsheets

Lake Down 10 Clearance Cairn

OS Map: SX 54151 88763
HER: MDV50954
ShortName: CN LakeDown10
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.

HER record MDV12848 (duplicated in MDV50579) [SiteID=1356, SiteID=3206] are the master record for the cluster of 11 cairns.

(Gerrard 1993) 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 in shape 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 in shape, and these measures 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 hollow in the centre of the mound, 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 subsheets

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."

In a hollow in the centre are a number of large stones suggesting the possibility of a former cist or even a chamber, utilizing the natural outcrop as its base." "The large stones visible in the centre of the feature are somewhat unusual and not typical of a cist-like structure. The presence of a chamber is very doubtful and it is more likely that the interior of the cairn has, at some point, been remodelled to create a small shelter."

Notes: Butler Homerton Hill N. Vol. 2. Map 43.15 (diagram Vol. 5. p.177). "A small, disturbed cairn containing three edge set stones of a cist ... The turf covered cairn measures 3.5 x 3.1m and 0.3m max. height. The top and north side of the mound has been disturbed exposing the three in situ cist stones. The cist measures 0.8 x 0.6m and 0.3mdeep. It is now open to the north. A large stone lying flush with the ground lies immediately north east of the cairn and probably represents the missing endstone or the coverstone". Lethbridge diagram p.156 and photos p157.

Sourton Common Cairn Alignment

OS Map: SX 54623 89529
HER: MDV55327
ShortName: CN SourtonRow
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.

N.B. HER record MDV50568 replicates much of this entry, however we will treat MDV50568 as the entry for the southernmost terminal cairn for this alignment as that cairn does not otherwise have an entry. The HER grid reference is a considerable distance (230m) to the south of this cairn alignment and requires correction. The southern terminal cairn is at SX 54623 89529 and is the location used for this PDW record.

Sourton Tors Ancient Pool

OS Map: SX 54596 89607
HER: MDV127223
ShortName: PO SourtonTors
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. Many are located on ridge tops and in conjunction with cairns, stone rows and other prehistoric features. Further research may well reveal more about these interesting features.

PMD: Sourton (Corn Ridge) Stone Circle
ShortName: SC SourtonTors
Butler map: 43.6
Turner: G3
Notes: "A stone circle, diameter about 110 ft and appearing to have comprised 32 stones of which all but six remain where they have fallen, has been discovered between Sourton Tors and Cornridge. In size it compares with the circles of the Grey Wethers and Scorhill". For a photo of this site, see: Megalithic Portal: Sourton Tors Stone Circle

Yes Tor E Cairn

OS Map: SX 58044 90185
HER: MDV4814
Megalithic Portal: 36416
Alternate name: Yes Tor 2 Cairn
ShortName: CN Yes Tor E
Butler map: 42.1.2
Grinsell: OKE 2
Notes: One of two cairns on Yes Tor. On the top of the flat outcrop of Yes Tor and piled against the west side is an amorphous mass of stones representing a ruined cairn. The patch of stones on the top is more or less 14.0m across and 0.3 m high and the piling against the outcrop is 2.3m high. It is possible that this has resulted from bulldozing the cairn over the side of the outcrop but the stones appear quite stable and compacted.

The central excavation is approximately 12.0m across and extends to 0.5m below the natural ground level. In the base of the hollow and on its south side are three partly buried slabs each about 1.7m long, 0.2m thick and more than 0.5m wide, which look like the displaced remains of a former cist.

Yes Tor W Cairn

OS Map: SX 57955 90210
HER: MDV4813
Megalithic Portal: 36416
Alternate name: Yes Tor 1 Cairn
ShortName: CN Yes Tor W
Butler map: 42.1.1
Grinsell: OKE 1
Notes: Western of two round barrows on the summit of yes tor. About 36.6m nw of flag staff on the top of yes tor is an incomplete ring of rough granite boulders varying in size but generally 0.3m - 0.9m. Long. The ring is about 6.1m long and is defective on the north east side where there is evidence of a slightly sunken trackway. In the interior of this ring the ground is slightly irregular and contains blocks of granite. At the south western part of the circle a smaller circle of stones abuts on the previous circle.
