Hentor Warren boundary stone standing 200m south east of Hen Tor

Devon

This standing stone marks the perimeter of Hentor Warren, a scheduled monument recording medieval land use on Dartmoor. Warren stones like this one defined the limits of enclosed grazing areas where rabbits and other game were managed as a resource. The stone survives as a simple upright marker in the moorland landscape, part of a wider network of boundaries that shaped how people used the moor.

The stone lies on open moorland south-east of Hen Tor, in country typical of central Dartmoor. Walking here, you encounter the kind of terrain that medieval communities worked and lived from. The monument is weathered and understated, like much of Dartmoor's heritage, but it carries the story of how the moor has been organised and valued across centuries.
