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!



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.

Riddon Corner Reported Cairn

OS Map: SX 6714 7636
ShortName: CN?Riddon Co1
Butler map: 18.2.7
Notes: "The cairn at 7 (8.0 x 1.0 m), 5 m from the field wall and close to a reave, is probably prehistoric. A slight depression in its flat suface suggests it has been dug and a track cutting across the eastern edge has also caused some slight damage. A pile of stones in a similiar relationship to the next reave to the south is more likely to be clearance from the field." Possibly visible on Lidar.

There are several low, possibly stoney mounds but all are rather amorphous and resemble natural features. It is not possible to determine which is the feature examined by Burnard or that described by Butler (1991 136-137). LYD 67a? Possibly described in Barrow Report 33.

Assycombe Hill S.2 (duplicate) Reported Cairn

OS Map: SX 6627 8016
ShortName: CN:Assycombe6
Notes: NMR 916309 clearly refers to Butler's Assycombe Hill S.1 & S.2. The entry refers to Butler's coverage Vol 2 p. 26. It is clear from Butler that the NGR is SX 662 812. This is clear both from the listingat the end of Vol2 as well as from where they are marked on Butler's Map 26. The text states "The proximity of these two cairns on te summit of the ridge 400 m to the suth-west suggests these may have been the burial mounds of the community" i.e the Assycombe Hill South settlement. However, the NGR given in the NMR is SX 662802 which is 1 km to the south! This error has resulted in duplicate entries for the HER which has this pair of cairns at both locations. HER 54601 & 54602 are duplicates (with incorrect NGRs) of 61309 & 61310.

UPDATE 31/12/2022. HER record 54601 has been deleted. This duplicate record will be left in place - as it explains the duplication.

Notes: This record used to link to HER record MDV 5889 but that is clearly Bellever Tor 4 (ring cairn). This site is mentioned within that listing but it is a seprate monument with no HER record. It needs its own record. NB. Butler cairns 4 and 5 had previously been transposed in the listings here. The original records for both have been retained and the Butler number corrected and the grid references corrected. This was previously listed as Butler cairn 4 and is now listed correctly as cairn 5. See also: Dartmoor Explorations: Antiquities of Black Newtake and Environs

Bellever Rock Shelter

OS Map: SX 644 765
HER: MDV5941
ShortName: RS Bellever
Notes: "Bellever tor. Flint flakes found under a boulder near the summit of the tor. Narrow cleft between two large boulders investigated. On excavation the rock floor of the shelter was found to be 762mm under the grass surface, with the foundation stones of a wall which closed the north west end. Near this wall was a large fire or cooking hole, full of peat, charcoal and ashes, occupying a natural depression in the floor. Flint flake was found on the floor and 66 others on a ledge of rock which ran under the boulder on the south side of the shelter. Entrance protected by a large boulder with a passage on each side. Easily roofed in with thatch of heather or rushes. Earth found on floor was composed of granite grit mixed with black soil, probably from the roof. No wood charcoal or potsherds found. The flints are mainly large thin flakes mostly from chalk, many show the bulb of percussion, a few only have secondary working. Best examples are a skin scraper, a notched scraper and a borer of cherty flint."

Notes: "The cist was examined in 1895/6 but nothing was found. It was surrounded by a double retaining circle and a stone row lead from it north west, of which ten stones remained, but these had sunk into the bog leaving only their tops showing". SRGB states: "This description makes it clear that this is unlikely to be a stone row since a row composed of small stones would not have survived the ditch digging involved in the building of the hedge. It is much more likely that they represented stones exposed in the side of the ditch." HER also has: "The stone row which falls in an afforested area could not be identified and has probably been destroyed."(1979) (E. Dart).

Notes: "Cist lies approximately in the centre of a subcircular cairn measuring 7 by 6.5m the longer axis and cist aligned nne to ssw. It is stony but almost turf-covered with 2 large kerbstones, including burnards `menhir' remaining in situ in the nw. The cist is flush with the cairn top, which is flattish and stands only 0.2m high on the nw but up to 0.7m high on the se, downhill side. This may be the cairn's original form; built into the slope as a flat platform with the cist visible (nmr citing pattison)". See also HER. Lethbridge photo top p.111. Butler Stennen Hill 1 - Vol. 2.
