Rectangular building near Legis Tor

This scheduled monument is a rectangular stone structure located on the open moorland south east of Legis Tor. Its original purpose and date of construction remain uncertain, though its form and location suggest it may relate to moorland use over several centuries, whether as a shelter, animal pen, or other functional building. The remains are modest but represent the kind of everyday structures that once served the people and livestock that inhabited or worked Dartmoor's high ground.

Visitors to this remote spot will find a simple stone outline set among heather and rough grass, part of the layered archaeological landscape of the moor. The building stands as a quiet reminder that Dartmoor's seemingly empty spaces were once worked and inhabited, and that many traces of past life still survive in the upland terrain.
