Enclosed prehistoric settlement and three round cairns 870m south east of Horn's Cross
Devon
This scheduled monument comprises an enclosed prehistoric settlement alongside three round cairns, likely dating to the Bronze Age. The enclosure and cairns together suggest a period of sustained activity and burial practice on this part of Dartmoor, typical of the landscape's intensive use in prehistory.
Today the site forms part of the open moorland southeast of Horn's Cross. Visitors exploring this area will find earthwork remains that tell of ancient communities who lived and worked across Dartmoor, leaving their mark in stone and soil for later walkers to discover and consider.
