Walkhampton, Yelverton
Three enclosed Bronze Age settlements and a pair of huts on the west-facing slope of Raddick Hill above the River Meavy: 26 hut circles in four scheduled monuments.
A small two-roomed drystone house with two annexes and a yard, field walls and a tin openwork at Shavercombe Foot, perhaps Hentor Cot, home of a farm labourer in the early 1800s.
Two enclosures (44 m by 34 m and 35 m by 22 m) with ten hut circles, a robbed round cairn 8.5 m by 7 m and a fallen boundary stone cut BC, on a south-west slope above the Cholwichtown clay works.
A rectangular building of historic date, 5 m by 3 m inside, probably a shelter, built over an older leat on the east side of Spanish Lake.
Walreddon, Tavistock
Crowndale Farm on the edge of Tavistock, where Sir Francis Drake was born around 1540, known only from his own account to biographer William Camden.
Skaigh Warren on the north slope of Cosdon Hill: at least 21 pillow mounds, a warreners' shelter, ridge and furrow, two hut circle settlements and two cairnfields, one of 28 mounds.
A small oval cairn, 4 m by 3 m and 0.8 m high, at the south end of five cairns on the north-east slope of White Hill.
A cairn 4.5 m across with a central cist 0.8 m long, all four slabs present and the cover stone displaced north-east, south of the Shavercombe Brook.
