Prehistoric sites within 3km of SX 59500 79600
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.
List of sites within 3km of SX 59500 79600
Conies Down stone row (natural outcrop) Reported Cairn
OS Map: SX 586 789
HER: MDV4592
ShortName: CNxConies Do2
Grinsell: LYD 33
Notes: Natural outcrop which is probably the small cairn described by Crossing. Probably duplicate of Conies Down (alleged) but the "roughly" NGR give by Grinsell does not match.

Distance: 1.14km
Higher White Tor (SW of) Reported Cairn
OS Map: SX 6163 7825
HER: MDV5957
ShortName: CN?Higher Wh1
Grinsell: LYD 41b
Notes: natural? round barrow between longford tor and higher white tor. A very large barrow 1.3m high with a diameter of 30m under gorse and heather. No sign of ditch or kerb exist and there is no indication of an earlier disturbance. The monument is in a classic position commanding a fine view of the cherry brook valley.

Devil's Tor 2 Reported Cairn
OS Map: SX 59630 79497
ShortName: CN Devils Tor2
Notes: The author found this walking south from the Beardown man standing stone on 15/09/20. It is quite clearly a cairn although whether or not it is prehistoric is another matter. There does not seem to be much evidence of clearance taking place in this area which would suggest a prehistoric cairn. There are no records in the HER except to a site further south, see siteid=4005 Devil's Tor. The cairn is approx 4-5 metres across as judged by eye - no precise measurement was taken. The HER record MDV4217 relates to a cairn reported by Worth in 1948 - maybe this is it. The site further south which is identified in the HER record is described as not being a cairn and this author would agree. The NMR record SX 57 NE 2 refers to confusion to two reported sites south of Beardown Man - but neither grid reference is satisfactorly close although likely that is a problem with the grid references.

Notes: No cist could be found in this area. At NGR SX 58167968 are several granite blocks which may have been mistaken for a cist. Probably Grinsell Lydford 33 - but NGR given by Grinsell suggests possible different site.

Notes: "This site was apparently excavated in 1827, when human hair was found (Grinsell cites Bray), but this site has not been located since this time - site / location not confirmed."
"The cist on east side of Great Whiten Tor, Postbridge" (Higher White Tor at SX 619785) was examined and revealed faint indications of bone ash contained in a pit 1foot 10inches diameter and 1foot 4inches deep. The pit was covered by a flat stone nearly 2 feet square. The coverstone of the cist had been removed to one side. Cannot be located today."

It is trapezoidal in shape, and measures 0.65m and 0.95m in length, 0.8m in width, and 0.5m in depth. The cover-stone, which is 0.9m long, 0.5m wide and 0.2m thick, is displaced and lies just to the south east of the cist." Lethbridge diagram p.107, photo bottom p.109. Butler Vol. 2.

Devils Tor Reported Cist
OS Map: SX 59479 79414
ShortName: CT-DevilsTor
Notes: This feature was reported by Russell Chapman to Bill Radcliffe. The current author was visiting Beardown and had mentioned this to Bill who suggested that it should be checked out. The grid reference given by Russell was SX 59475 79416. The feature is a rectangular pit lined by small stones. It does not have the appearance of a Bronze Age cist. The nature and function of this feature is unclear but would seem most likely to be relatively modern. The author would like to thank Russell and Bill for the details.

Notes: Maybe natural rather than a cist. "large turf-covered cairn which has been dug into from its southern edge. No stones are visible in the saucer-shape depression in the centre but a setting of three slabs near the northern edge may be the sides of a cist which contained a secondary burial inserted at a later date into the side of the mound" (Butler).
