Antiquities

Uphill

Devon

Uphill is a listed building situated on elevated Dartmoor terrain, its name reflecting its topographic position. The structure appears to date from the medieval period, though it may incorporate or sit upon earlier settlement traces. Like many moorland buildings, it tells of long occupation and adaptation across centuries, with later modifications layered onto older fabric.

Today the site stands as evidence of moorland settlement patterns, offering walkers and landscape historians a marker of how people have inhabited and worked this high ground. The building and its setting form part of the wider archaeological and built heritage of central Dartmoor, where scattered farms and structures punctuate the open moor.
