OP2 (ruins)

Meldon, Okehampton, Devon

Grid ref: SX 5879 8959

OP2 stands as a fragmentary reminder of past occupation on Dartmoor's high ground. The ruins lie exposed to the moor's elements, their weathered stones a testament to the harshness of this landscape and the resilience of those who once called it home. Walking to the site means crossing open moorland where wind, weather and vast horizons dominate.

The exact purpose and age of these remains are absorbed into Dartmoor's layered history, Bronze Age settlements, medieval habitation, and later moorland use have all left their marks across these hills. Standing here, surrounded by gorse and granite, you're treading ground that has witnessed countless generations eking out life on one of England's most demanding uplands.
