The Remains of Longstone Manor House, Wind Strew and associated features

Devon

The Remains of Longstone Manor House, Wind Strew marks the site of a medieval manor settlement on Dartmoor's open moorland. The scheduled monument preserves the footprint of the house itself and the wider landscape of its occupation, evidence of how people lived and farmed on the high moor in earlier centuries. What survives today are earthworks and foundations scattered across the moorside, legible to those who know how to read them.

This is a place to understand rather than to see in the conventional sense. A visit rewards careful walking and attention to the undulations of the moor itself. The site sits within the broader story of Dartmoor's medieval settlement, a period when the moor supported more people and cultivation than it does now. Standing here, you are among the traces of that older landscape.
