Routrundle Pound

Historic England's scheduling record (list entry 1002494) describes a prehistoric enclosed settlement within enclosed land on a west-facing slope of Ingra Tor, overlooking the valley of the River Walkham. The enclosure is an oval, bounded by a rubble wall up to 2 metres wide and 1.3 metres high. Its north-western and north-eastern stretches partly lie under a later drystone wall. It lies in the parish of Walkhampton, about 0.9 km west of Leeden Tor and 2 km east of Sampford Spiney.

The inside measures 58 metres north to south by 54 metres west to east and holds at least one stone hut circle, in the middle. That hut has an inner area 8.7 metres across, a double upright-stone wall 1.7 metres wide, partly coursed, standing up to 1.1 metres high, and a south-facing doorway marked on its west side by an edge-set slab.

A plan of Routrundle, labelled 'pounds surrounded by later enclosures', appears as Fig. 44 in The Prehistoric Pounds of Dartmoor.
