A warren, two stone hut circle settlements, cairnfields and cairns at Ivy Tor, ESE of Belstone
Devon
Ivy Tor holds the scattered remains of Bronze Age life on Dartmoor. Two stone hut circle settlements sit among extensive cairnfields and cairns, marking a landscape shaped by people who farmed and herded stock across the moor over three thousand years ago. The earthworks survive as low stone rings and grass-covered mounds, legible to those who know what to look for.
The warren, later than the prehistoric settlement, reflects how people continued to use this upland ground. Walking the site today, you move through open moorland dotted with archaeological traces, part of the wider pattern of Bronze Age occupation that defines much of central Dartmoor. The remains reward patient observation and connect you directly to the moor's deep history.
