Hentor Warren boundary stone standing on Lee Moor 860m south west of Hen Tor
Devon
This boundary stone stands on Lee Moor, part of the system of enclosed warrens that once covered Dartmoor. Hentor Warren was established to manage and contain rabbits, a valuable commodity in medieval and post-medieval times. The stone marks the territorial edge of the warren, one of many such markers scattered across the moor that defined ownership and usage rights.
Today the stone remains a quiet record of how people managed Dartmoor's landscape for centuries. Standing on the open moorland, it offers a tangible connection to the warren system and the ways communities shaped and controlled the moor for livelihood and resource. The surrounding landscape shows little sign of the intensive activity these warrens once contained.
