Dartmoor's archaeology and heritage - antiquities, historic buildings and museums.
Lydford, Okehampton
A small concrete slab bridge carrying a well-used path over the Doetor Brook between Doe Tor and Brat Tor, a few metres from the gate to Doe Tor Farm and easy to miss among the gorse.
Lydford, Okehampton
A small quarry marked on the 1900s Ordnance Survey map on Doetor Common, beside the track about 200 m north-north-east of Doe Tor Farm. No written record of it has been found, and a pile of loose granite in the rough ground nearby does not line up with its mapped position.
A double hut circle with rooms 4 m and 5 m by 4 m, attached to an enclosure 51 m by 43 m on the edge of the Tavy flood plain at the foot of Watern Oke.
Walreddon, Tavistock
Where two rivers meet on the high moor, creating a confluence of water and wild landscape.
A cairn made of two partial rings of edge-set stones, 2.8 m and 5 m across, with a 1.6 m slab inside that may be the cover of an intact cist, on the south slope of Sittaford Tor.
A circular Grade II* dovecote 6.28 m across with a corbelled domed roof, about 250 nesting holes in 11 tiers and a low Gothic door, restored in 1977, at Pridhamsleigh.
A Bronze Age stone circle set in the open moorland, where weathered granite markers still mark an ancient gathering place.
Down Tor Pound: a circular enclosure 47 m across with a double-faced rubble wall 2.5 m wide and an entrance marked by a slab through the wall, near a cairn and stone row.
A Bronze Age stone circle standing on open moorland, with weathered granite sentinels marking an ancient ritual landscape.
