Prehistoric sites within 3km of SX 62900 71750
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.

OS Map: SX 63002 72332
HER: MDV54460
ShortName: CN Joan Ford4
Butler map: 63.3
Notes: "A probable ring cairn situated on a slight NW slope. At least eight tin pits occur immediately to the E and S, and modern small stone clearance heaps are visible everywhere. The circular turf-covered stony bank is 12.2m in overall diameter, 2.0m wide and on average 0.4m high; a few stones protrude through the turf but there is no obvious trace of a kerb, slabs or boulders. Two or three modern clearance heaps lie on the bank and a gap on the N side with an adjacent corresponding pile of spoil is probably a recent mutilation" The photo shows one of the heaps on the bank which can just be seen.

Royal Hill, wall Reported Cist
OS Map: SX 62646 72246
HER: MDV18403
PMD: Swincombe
ShortName: CT-RoyalHill 9
Notes: The suggested cist, beside a length of bank and with numerous earthfast stones in visibility. The primary feature is a rectilinear slab 1.5 metres long, 1.2 metres wide and 0.1 metres thick. Its north-east corner rests upon a thin embedded stone, about 0.8 metres long and 0.1 metres high, and the slab is thus raised from the surface ... The impression gained is that, being similar to a coverstone, the large slab has been moved in the false expectation of a cist beneath.

Notes: [Presumably Foxtor not Foxton] Cist 54.9 meters south east of white stone in the wall. Area was over grown with high heather in 1917-1918, but the heather was burnt in 1920 and the cist was quite plain with capstone by north east side. The south west stone had gone.No trace of this antiquity could be found in 1950.

OS Map: SX 6265 7227

ShortName: CN:RoyalHill10
Notes: "Centred at SX62657227. Group of prehistoric cairns in a row running approx south-west to north-east.
Cairn A. The most northerly is crest-sited as you approach uphill from the south, with concave centre. Approximately 4.0 metres in diameter, Maximum height of 0.4 metres with a 2.0 metre length of wall attached to the south-west. Cairn B. The second cairn 33 metres to the south-west of A is 2.0 metres in diameter. Cairn C. 46 metres south-west of B is positioned against a natural boulder and measures 4.0 metres maximum diameter. Cairn D is located approximately 77 metres south-east of C. Oval, measuring 3.0 by 2.0 metres. Cairn E is 18 metres south-east of Cairn D and is 2.5 metres in diameter. Cairn F is 13 metres south-east of E and measures 3.0 metres in diameter."
"Centred SX 62597223. Eight scattered small turf-covered cairns lie on a SE hillslope at 360m OD on moorland pasture in an area cleared of surface stone except for large earthfast boulders. Mostly oval-shaped and rather ragged they are of compacted stones with some built against large earthfast boulders. There are no traces of formal construction.
The largest cairn, at SX 62607226, is 4.6m by 3.8m and 0.4m high with a disturbed centre and stone spill. The line of four cairns between SX 62597223 and SX 62587219 vary from 2.6m by 2.2m and 0.3m high to 3.5m in diameter and 0.5m high. The row of three cairns between.
SX 62647221 and SX 62677222 are from 2.5m by 2.0m and 0.3m high to 3.5m by 2.5m and 0.45m high.
They are almost certainly clearance cairns possibly of prehistoric origin as suggested by Greeves"
NB. SiteID=3021 MDV18403, reported cist with wall connected to it - this is very close to this group of 8 and could perhaps be one of them. However, the Probert & M. J. Fletcher (Report - Survey) SDV350839 tends to suggest it is a 9th separate feature.
