Riddipit hull 700m WSW of the northern end of Raddick Lane
Devon
Riddipit Hull is a scheduled monument, a round barrow of probable Bronze Age date. Like many of Dartmoor's burial mounds, it sits on open moorland and forms part of the dense archaeological landscape that makes this corner of the National Park so rich in prehistoric remains. The name itself, with 'hull' meaning barrow or mound, describes what visitors will see on the ground.
Walking to the site today means crossing the moor itself, which gives some sense of how these burial places were scattered across the upland landscape. The monument stands as evidence of the communities who lived and died on Dartmoor thousands of years ago, their relationship to this land and its rhythms deeply rooted in the Bronze Age past.
