Dartefacts is a database of Dartmoor sites with far more close-up detail than we can show here, and it is the best place to go deeper. Dartefacts is free to use, and nobody has to pay to look things up. If you want more, a yearly subscription adds 10-figure grid references, map zoom down to 1:25,000 and lists to tick off the places you have visited, and it helps keep the site going. We would encourage you to subscribe.

“Away to the eastward we could see the dreary brown ridges in the neighbourhood of Cranmere Pool, over which a deep stillness was brooding, and a lifeless aspect seemed to rest.”
Also on Our DartmoorShorter Cross — A coffin-shaped cross without arms, 1.7 m high, with a relief cross on one face and an incised cross on the other, moved in 1873 and re-set in 1900; possibly a Christianised standing stone.

Our Dartmoor doesn't track you and runs no adverts. We use one cookie to make the
site work, and some pages load videos, maps or optional social media panels from other sites, the panels only if you choose to show them.
