Cosdon Hill

Devon

Cosdon Hill, also known as Cosdon Beacon or Cawsand Beacon, stands among Dartmoor's highest points at around 550 metres. The hill carries substantial evidence of prehistoric use, including a cairn and other traces of occupation from ancient times. The site rewards a visit for anyone interested in how early people used the high moorland.

On the Western side of the hill (which can be fun to climb on a hot day) you will find a fantastic Triple Stone Row.
