Post-medieval building at Crazy Well Farm, 300m south of Crazy Well Pool
Devon
This stone building at Crazy Well Farm, standing 300 metres south of Crazy Well Pool, dates from the post-medieval period and reflects the long history of settlement and farming on Dartmoor's higher ground. The structure is modest in scale, built from moorland stone in the practical style of its era, and remains as evidence of the resilience required to work this landscape.
Today the building stands on open moorland, part of the fabric of scattered farms and smallholdings that have shaped Dartmoor's character over centuries. Its scheduled monument status recognises its value as a record of rural life and land use. Visitors to the area will find it within walking distance of Crazy Well Pool itself, a natural feature with its own place in local memory and the moor's hydrology.
