Search for sites near-by OS Grid Reference

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.

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.

Kennon Hill S.W.1 Cairn

OS Map: SX 63916 88974
HER: MDV19463
ShortName: CN Kennon SW1
Butler map: 41.1
Notes: Butler describes a heather-covered cairn with a pair of slabs visible in the body of the mound. This cairn is not covered in heather but then this photo is taken 20 year on. There are signs of the slabs in the mound so it is probably the same cairn. The HER refers to another cairn 50m due w of this one - the author could not locate that but then the area is very overgrown.

Notes: Confusion on the NMR for this record. It could be around SX643882 from the NMR record for hut circles and 3 cairns - one with a reported cist "on the lower East facing slope of Rival Tor". That is only 250 m from SX 64538835 which is where another cist is. This suggests this is in fact a duplicate record of HER 61776.

Shoveldown Central Settlement Reported Cist

OS Map: SX 65764 85857
HER: MDV54531
PMD: Shovel Down W.
ShortName: CT:Shoveldow7
Butler map: 36.4
Notes: Butler Shoveldown Central Settlement Cairn 36.4 (Vol 2)
Ths cairn is described by Butler on p. 176. "Forty metres outside th south-west cornera small solitary cairn (5.0 x 0.3m) has been dug into, the displaced stones subsequently returned to the central pit where they lie in a loose pile". The cairn is shown on Fig 36.4 on p.176. It can be seen to be a few metres south of the Central Settlement. It also appears towards the top left on Fig 36.7 on p. 179. Fig 36.4 is a segment of Fig 36.7. Butler lists this site as a cist at SX 6576 8585.

The NMR site 889100 is the only NMR site that matches. Located at SX 6575 8588 which is within 32 m. It is listed as 4.9 x 0.65 m. "A turf covered stoney cairn situated near the crest of the N facing flank of Shovel Down 20m S of a small settlement (SX 68 NE 41). It measures 4.9m in diameter and survives to a height of 0.65m. A stone filled hollow 1.9m in diameter and about 0.2m deep lies slightly E of centre. There are no traces of a cist or a retaining circle."

The HER has two entries. HER 54531 is clearly NMR record 889100, same size and location. It refers to Butler p.179;fig 36.7. The HER record 61777 gives Butler's size and location. It also includes a quote from Butler: "Dug into, the displaced stones subsequently returned to the central pit where they lie in a loose pile". Clearly these two records refer to the same site. What record 61777 adds is the fact that Butler claims it to be a possible cist.

Notes: This looks like a cist but is in fact remains from tar and feather work as identified by Robert Naylor. This photo taken in August 2014 by the author and labelled as "looks like a cist" and marked as a Garmin waypoint "cist?". Located on the southern slope of Kennon Hill in an area of very deep tussocky grass. The author was unable to get back to check it out and posted about this on 4 February 2020 on a Dartmoor Facebook group. The author is grateful to Robert Naylor for having checked it out and clarifying that it is not a cist. Listing here as not a cist will help those in future who stumble across this.

Notes: The circle is in good condition today but only 13 stones remained standing when the Dartmoor Exploration Committee re-erected 5 of the stones in 1896. The site is a fairly accurate circle of circumference 20.2m. A cairn lies close to the circle, a heather covered mound about 8.5m across. The White Moor stone lies 160m to the SE of the circle and it is thought to be contemporary with the circle but probably out of position having been re-erected at some point. It is now a boundary marker. See also, Legendary Dartmoor: Dartmoor's Bronze Age Landscape of Whitmoor.

Shilstone Lane Reported Cairn

Shilstone Lane Reported Cairn

OS Map: SX 65955 90139
ShortName: CN-Shilstone
Notes: This record arose from a posting by Clive Darke on a Dartmoor Facebook forum. Clive posted a photo of this feature on the side of the road and asked whether it could perhaps be a re-used menhir in a Devon wall. Alan Endacott observed that it is on Shilstone Lane and Shilstone is a place name often associated with dolmens such as Shilstone common by Spinsters Rock near Drewsteignton. There are also other large slabs that could conceivably be remains of a destroyed site in the wall. The location of this feature is the side of the road between Shilstone Tor and Shilstone Farm. This particlaur stone is in fact a large slab that goes back into the bank and as such could perhaps have been a capstone. This combination of place name suggesting a long lost dolmen and possible remains is reminiscent of another site called Shilstone near Widecombe, see Chittleford Hill Reported Cairn. That location was registered on the HER and NMR as a "Possible site of a Neolithic barrow found in the field walls by the roadside [...] A very large orthostat, or shiner (sic), standing here which may have been a capstone. Nearby fields called 'Shelstone Lay' point to the existence of a cromlech. Also the walls of the field contain a large number of very large slabs and pillar-like stones such as might have formed a megalthic tomb". That description could almost apply to this record. The author would like to thank Clive Darke and Alan Endacott for the information behind this record. The photo was kindly supplied by Alan and copyright remains with him.

Notes: "The remains of an alleged stone circle lie on the gentle NE facing slope of Shovel Down 200m SW of Batworthy Corner. Three upright stones, between 0.3m and 0.75m high, are visible. The two close-set NE stones display smaller packing stones in the erosion hollows at their bases. The third stone is partly obscured by the bank of the South Hill Leat (SX 68 SW 97). It is possible that these stones constitute the remains of a stone circle however, no such feature is noted in the antiquarian records so it must remain a doubtful site". In fact a sketch of the Shovel Down rows made by Wilkinson in 1860 marks and illustrates "stones" at the location of the stone circle. For a photo, see Megalithic Portal: Shovel Down NW stone circle.

Notes: "Fourfold Circle a sub-circular configuration of four apparently concentric stone rings. The outer ring has a diameter of 9m, the others have diameters of 6.4m, 4.7m and 2.4m respectively. The monument comprises 29 visible stones. Most are approximately 0.3m in height although they vary from 0.1-0.55m. The middle two rings define the bottom and top of the scarp of a small earthern cairn apparently an integral part of the monument. It is most pronounced on the E (downslope side). In the centre is a roughly sub-circular pit measuring 1.3m by 0.7m and 0.45m deep; it is probably the remains of a badly robbed cist. On the N side are two large fallen stones. When upright they may have served as a focal point for the end of the stone row " Lethbridge 139-145, diagram p.139.

Notes: Worth Row H, Butler Row 1. This row is considered to be one long partially robbed row - previously listed as four separate rows:-

"D: SX 66028583 to SX 66048568. A single row (47 stones visible July '78) 149.0m long, with no terminal features; it curves slightly to the south west Worth (2) extends it as a reave for a further 50.0m to the north but this extension is straight, on a different alignment, and almost certainly a separate row (see G)."

"G: SX 66008591 to SX 66028585. A single row (25 stones visible July '78), 60.0m long; two gaps (? stone robbing) of 6.0m & 8.0m occur towards the north end. The north penultimate stone (now recumbent) is of much larger slab-like proportions and may have originally served as a blocking-stone."

"H: SX 65998599 to SX 65998595. A single row (24 stones visible July '78), 51.0m long with three gaps of from 5.0m to 8.0m recorded by Pettit (3), but not Worth (2)."

"J: SX 65978625 to SX 65988603. A single row (46 stones visible July '78), 228.0m long, there are no special terminal features. Many gaps of from 3.0m to 47.0m occur throughout the entire length of the row. The southern end has probably been overlain by a later reave (SX 68 NE 63). The northern end most probably extended further northward, and it would appear to have been destroyed by a mining 'rake' of circa 19th century date, and stone robbing? for the nearby Batworthy enclosure walls."

Wild Tor Reported Cairn

OS Map: SX 62218 87124
HER: MDV107564
ShortName: CN-WildTor
Notes: Photo by Steve Granger and reproduced here with his kind permission (copyright remains with Steve). This site is clearly not a prehistoric cairn but is of interest as a reported cairn. Eric Hemery in High Dartmoor (pp.824-5) states "approximately opposite the centre of the south 'bulb' of Bow Combe hour-glass, is a ruined cairn om a square base where a path branches right from the crest and descends the east flank of the ridge towards Gallavan Down. Not far from the cairn are the remains of two shelters, one circular, the other oval. The first may have been a shepherd's shelter, and the latter, the larger of the two a peat-cutter's house." The HER record 107564 reports the presence of many "mielner" platform's in this area and this could be the origins of this structure although most are considered to be round peat structures unlike this structure which has a square stone base. There was a peat charcoal industry in this area. The HER quotes Phil Newman: "The largest and clearest cluster of 'meiler' platforms on northern Dartmoor. At least 25 'meiler' platforms in an area completely denuded of peat. Located 737 metres south of Wild Tor. First recorded by Woolner in the 1960s. The existence of a peat charcoal industry on Dartmoor has its origins in the 12th century or earlier. Peat charcoal was used for iron smithing and tin smelting from the Medieval period until the 19th century. It provided a major income for Dartmoor residents. Large areas of suitable peat would have been harvested and dried before being burned to produce charcoal. The platforms onto which these 'meilers' were constructed are the only field evidence for the process. 'Meiler' platforms comprise raised, usually circular, earthworks with level tops. Although similar to peat drying platforms they lack the peripheral drainage ditch and charcoal samples confirm their use. The level platform was prepared with circular tiers of dried peat bricks with horizontal vents to admit a controlled air flow. Sites for peat charcoal burning were always on raised ground within areas of visible turf cutting and, on Dartmoor, between altitudes 465 metres and 545 metres OD. The cutting was often extensive and sometimes areas were denuded of peat. The platforms recorded so far are mostly organised in clusters at single locations suggesting that burning was undertaken at regional hubs." Note on grid reference: The HER gives SX 622 870 for the group of meilers - the grid reference used here is that of a squarish object that can be seen on Google satellite which is presumed to be the structure in the photo.
