Burial chamber on Blackslade Down
Devon
This burial chamber dates to the Neolithic period, when farming communities first settled on Dartmoor and began shaping the landscape around them. The site stands as evidence of ritual and communal life in prehistoric times, built when the moor was more densely inhabited than it is today.
Visitors will find the remains of the structure scattered across Blackslade Down, where it has rested for thousands of years. The surrounding moorland offers walking routes across open ground typical of Dartmoor's high country, and the site forms part of the broader archaeological record that marks this landscape as a place of human significance since ancient times.
