Kes Tor Round Pound

Kes Tor Round Pound sits on high, windswept moorland where the landscape stretches unbroken to the horizon. The site comprises the remains of several Bronze Age roundhouses—their stone foundations still forming distinct circles—arranged around what may have been a communal pound or enclosure. This was a place where people actually lived, herded livestock, and endured the moor's unforgiving weather in the Bronze Age.

Walking among these ancient walls, you're standing in a settlement that speaks to how people adapted to Dartmoor thousands of years ago. The stones themselves are humble—no grand monuments here—but their survival and visibility make Kes Tor an accessible window into prehistoric moorland life. The site rewards both focused archaeological interest and simple wandering, with expansive views across the moor as your reward.
