CC CatorCommon
Cator Common: Cairn hollow towards centre. Retaining circle of c.28 upright slabs mostly turned inwards. Diameter 18.0m height 0.6m. Breton p.41

CC Challacombe
Challacombe Down: Dubious site - the current arrangement relates to stones placed during restoration of the stone row. See Worth (1953) p. 226 on how nothing coherent came of attempts to re-erect stones scattered to the west of the north end of the row which gave the appearance of a stone circle.

CC Corringdo5
Corringdon Ball 5: Five monuments noted by robinson and greeves at the ne end of the stone rows. Many have multiple concentric circles of small stones. Includes 3 cairns. See also entries for Corringdon Ball Stone Rows and East Glazebrook Encircled Cairn. Lethbridge p.82-3.

CC Deadmans 1
Deadman's Bottom 1: Turner identifies this site as an embanked stone circle an annular bank of earth and/or stones with an inner edge of orthostats. Internal diam 16m with bank 0.8m wide and 0.3m high. The bank has been pushed out on the sse side and the stones lean outward (turner). Turner B1.

CC Fourfold
Yellowmead fourfold circle: A group of four concentric stone circles of which the innermost one is considered to be a cairn circle. Three stones were standing in 1921 when all the fallen stones were raised during restoration. There also appears to have been a stone row leading away from the stone circles. See also Dartmoor: Yellowmead Stone Circle[/url]. Breton see Megalithic circles on Yellowmead Down Sheepstor (Heart of Dartmoor p

CC Harbourne B
Parnell's Hill 2: Embanked stone circle annular bank of earth and/or stones with inner kerb of orthostats. Measures 15.0 metres in diameter internally with bank 2.0 metres wide and 0.5 meters high with a cairn in the centre 9.0 metres in diameter and 1.1 metres in height. The west and south sides have been disturbed.

CC Joan Fords
Joan Ford's Newtake 2: A stone circle with six identifiable erect or leaning stones. One forms the E post of the gateway the west post 7ft high stands outside the circumference. It is because of its small diameter without doubt a retaining circle any internal features such as a central hollow or possible kistvean have been obliterated by the wall builders. Turner Stone Circle G22. Bar Rep 30.

CC Kennon Hill
Kennon Hill: This cairn circle has a diameter of 10 metres or approx 30 feet. It has a slab in its centre which matches the 1894 report by R.N. Worth except for the size and distance/location of the Buttern Hill stone circle. The central area of the circle is raised and the circle has a ring or bank. The raised centre suggests it is not a round house.

CC Lakehead 5
Lakehead Hill 5: Butler Cairn 5. Tuner lists this as G24 Stone Circle. However it is clear from its size and location near other Ring Settings that it is in fact better described as a Ring Setting despite having no visible internal structure. In these listings we will leave it as a cairn circle. A ring cairn lying on a gentle slope near the summit of Lakehead Hill. The cairn is defined by a circle of edge set stones which measure 7.8 metres in diameter and stand up to 0.9 metres high.

CC Mardle 1
Mardle Valley 1: Turner: Embanked stone circle an annular bank of earth and/or stone with an inner edge of orthostats. Much disturbed. Internal diam 6.5m with bank 1.2m wide and 0.4m high. This cairn has a very interesting structure appearing to be multiple circles of stones similar to the cairns at Corringdon Ball. This structure is difficult to capture in a photograph as the stones are small and the site much disturbed.

CC Mardon 3
Mardon Down 3: NMR C. Cairn 32.0 metres south-east of Giants Grave. 11.0 metres diameter 0.7 metres high with traces of a retaining circle on the south-west side.

CC Mardon 5
Mardon Down Pillared Circle 5: Impressive cairn circle with a well preserved ring of large pillars surrounded by an outer kerb ring of smaller slabs on their edges. The cairn is 11m. in diameter and 0.5m. high with a well preserved cairn circle comprising a 9.0m. diameter circle of spaced uprights averaging 0.8m. high with kerbing between. Unlike the stone circle it is marked on the OS Okehampton and North Dartmoor Landranger map (Sheet 191). It is easy to confuse this cairn with the less well preserved s

CC Merrivale 1
Merrivale double row 1 (east end): At the eastern end (of the northern stone row) there is a blocking stone and beyond it a number of earthfast and loose slabs which seem to represent a former kerb or circle about 5.6m. in diameter. The blocking stone is part of the circle with two or possibly three earthfast slabs on end three recumbent slabs and four other post or slab stones which are much displaced or entirely unconnected. The stones are spaced at about 2.0m. intervals uprooted slabs are from 0.3m. sq

CC Merrivale10
Merrivale 10: Turner describes this site as an embanked stone circle an annular bank of earth and/or stones with an inner edge of orthostats. Internal diameter is 8.0 meters with a bank 0.8 meters wide and 0.3 meters high. Much disturbed. Turner B8.

CC MisTor Farm
Little Mis Tor SE: HER Base of ancient tumulus about 20m in diameter may have formed a bound of the ancient boundary between Lydford and Walkhampton (Prowse). Butler: Little Mis Tor SE cairn at SX56927595 of 22.0 metres diameter by 0.4 metres high. This large but low cairn has suffered some trenching around the eastern side. An outer bank 22 metres across surrounds a level interior rising to a small mound at the centre on which are lying several small stones. The few slabs visible within the bank show tha

CC Nine Stones
Nine Stones: The Nine Stones cairn circle survives as a ring of at least 16 upright stones standing up to 0.7 metres high surrounding a slightly raised 7 metre diameter internal area. A loose granite boulder in the centre of the circle may cover a cist and there are vestiges of a mound around it. Well preserved.

CC Ringmoor 3
Ringmoor Down 3: Located about 230m NW of the cairn circle that terminates the Ringmoor Down stone row. An 11ft 2ins diameter cairn circle composed of fourteen stones of which four have fallen over. Stones of quartz-schorl not granite. This feature has the semblance of having been recently created. The stones are mostly loose and irregularly spaced. As a monument type it appears to be unique on Dartmoor. It should not be considered of great antiquity. For a photo see: [url=http://www.stone-circles.org.uk/

CC Ringmoor 4
Ringmoor Down 4: A low disturbed circular earthwork on the upper ridge of Ringmoor Down is a probable ring cairn. The bank is low and spread being up to 4.6m wide by 0.1m high and forms a slightly irregular circle with an internal diameter of between 28 and 30m and overall diameter of 37m. Two lines of tin prospecting pits which traverse the monument of probable medieval or post medieval date have caused some damage on the southern arc of the bank and its interior.

CC Sharpitor W
Sharpitor W stone row: The cairn lies on a gentle sw slope ne of horseyeatt farm with a stone row see sx57se/141 running sw from it. The cairn is about 7m in diameter and 0.6m height partly turf-covered with a central hollow. The visible set stones within the cairn suggest two or three underlying concentric stone circles. These stones have a maximum height of 0.2m and are predominantly set with their long axes tangential to the circle. Lethbridge pp.19-20 diagram p.19.

CC ShaughMo N1
Shaugh Moor N1: Whether the stones represent the remnants of a stone circle a cairn circle or even a hut is debateable. The remains of a circle of stones lie on a north-west facing hill slope at 256m above OD on unenclosed moorland. It survives as a partial ring of five boulder and stones with an off-centre earthfast boulder the overall diameter was approximately 10.0m to 10.6m across. The largest of the two slabs which remain upright is 0.8m high 1.7m wide and 0.3m thick.

CC ShaughMoorS
Shaugh Moor stone row: Cairn circle at the southern end of the Shaugh Moor stone row. An egg-shaped ring of stone uprights. Only an arc of four clearly identifiable stones survive in the circle they are a maximum 0.3m high and suggest an approximate circle diameter of 15.0m. There are a number of buried and semi-buried stones traceable but their relationship to the circle is unclear. Lethbridge p.54-55 diagram p.55

CC Shovel4Fold
Fourfold Circle: Fourfold Circle a sub-circular configuration of four apparently concentric stone rings. The outer ring has a diameter of 9m the others have diameters of 6.4m 4.7m and 2.4m respectively. The monument comprises 29 visible stones. Most are approximately 0.3m in height although they vary from 0.1-0.55m. The middle two rings define the bottom and top of the scarp of a small earthern cairn apparently an integral part of the monument. It is most pronounced on the E (downslope side). In the centr

CC Staldon 1
Stalldown stone row: Cairn in middle of length of stone row. The northern part of the row is aligned precisely in the centre of the cairn circle both of which would therefore seem part of the original design. The cairn is not visible from the south end of the southern extension of the row. This extension consists of four general alignments more of which focus on the cairn circle and the northern end of the extension is tangential to the west side of the circle. These factors and the larger size of the sto

CC StallTermin
Stalldown Row Terminal: Unconfirmed terminal cairn. Not listed on HER or NMR

CC Stonetor 1
Stonetor Hill 1: Dubious site. Two upright slabs situated in the shallow valley bottom above the headmire of the E arm of the Stonetor Brook. The slabs 1.2m high are positioned in line 1.0m apart and lie on the boundary of Gidleigh Parish and the Forest of Dartmoor now Dartmoor Forest parish. The N face of the E stone has the letters GP (Gidleigh parish). The S face is lichen covered. A deep water filled erosion hollow lies on the N side of these stones. Possibly site listed as Stone Circle G12 by Turner.

CC The Dancers
Upper Erme stone row: An impressive cairn circle (often referred to as a stone circle) on Stall Moor which is also known as The Dancers Kiss in the Ring or Stall Moor Circle. Round barrow with retaining circle at south end of longest Dartmoor stone row. Diameter 16m height of mound 0.3m. Lethbridge pp.70-71 diagram p.71

CC Trowles E
Trowlesworthy stone row 1: Cairn circle at head of stone row. The circle 6.5m. in diameter comprises eight orthostats from 0.7m. to 1.5m. high. In some cases the trig stones are visible. The alleged cairn at the head of the row comprises a ring of eight stones a maximum of 1.2m high with no evidence of a cist and very little to suggest the former presence of a cairn. It would seem more likely to represent the remains of a small stone circle albeit only 6.0 to 6.5m in diameter. See also [url=https://www.le

CC Trowles W
Trowlesworthy stone row 2: This is a cairn circle at the east end of the Trowlesworthy Warren (W) stone row. At the east is a 4.5m. diameter circle of 10 stones average height 0.4m. There is no visible cairn or cist in the centre. Two upright stones immediately to the north west of the circle are probably associated.

CC White NW2
White Tor NW2: A ring cairn set at the eastern end of a natural gently sloping plateau of rough grassland generally devoid of stones. It measures about 11m diameter inside a turf-covered bank composed generally of smallish stones which is about 2.2m wide and has a maximum height of 0.4m on the E. It has been mutilated and spread in the south-east and the west. Several stones are evident two probably set in the inner face but the rest are apparently part of the bank of even part of the outer face. Two in t

Stone ring diam 10.5m with bank 2.5m wide and 0.5m high.3m wide entrance on s side See Butler Vol 3 p.97 fig. 48.1.2. Wigford Down 3 in Barrow Report 62.This ring cairn survives as a circular bank measuring up to 3.5 metres wide and 0.75 metres high which surrounds a flat interior up to 17.5 metres in diameter. There is evidence for partial early excavation or robbing on the south west side. Noted in 2019

CC:Buckland Fd
Buckland Ford: Probable cairn circle. A small probably sepulchral stone circle. It consists of 14 stones arranged in an egg shape. The long axis is 9.9 metres aligned due east by 8.2m transversely. A further 7 stones are in close proximity but may not be associated. There is no trace of a cist or cairn. It is largely obscured by long tussocky grass and the absence of a discernible cairn or cist makes it an unusual site by Dartmoor standards.

CC:Buttern 4
Buttern Hill 4: A small cairn circle situated at SX 65408949 in open moorland immediately below the crest of a broad topped spur at about 1300 ft OD. It has a diameter of 6.0m and consists of 13 turf-fast stones three are recumbent one stands to a height of 0.4m and the remainder barely protrude through the turf.

CC:Crad Hole
Crad Hole Ring: Crad Hole Ring cairn at SX67216650 with a central piller. Feature 4 at Crad Hole Ring is a pair of huts the larger of which has been converted into a cairn of 7.5 metres diameters by 0.6 metres high with a small pillar in the centre.

CC:Gidleigh
Gidleigh: Possible stone circle on Gidleigh Common first recorded in 1925. Doubtful feature not positively identified since 1925.(Area centred SX 65548758) Stone Circle 6 metres in diameter. Ten stones remain three still standing. (H H Breton undated but thought to be around 1925)Doubtful probably a retaining circle. (R H Worth 1948)Formerly listed as a reported stone circle but stone circles are not this size. The feature if it exists will be a cairn circle so this entry has been changed to rep

CC:HeadonDown
Headon Down: A ring cairn close to the summit of Headon Down. The cairn was not visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs or lidar derived images and has probably been destroyed by quarrying activity.

CC:Rook Tor 1
Rook Tor 1: Turner G21: 10 stones standing one a boulder (Turner). The closest possible NMR entry that could fit refers to natural boulders. Butler refers to a possible cairn at SX60236153 a semi-circle of slabs amongst the rocks of Rook Tor are obviously artificially set - remains suggest the site of a cairn entirely demolished but for the retaining circle.

Great Trowlesworthy: An incomplete circle of largely recumbent granite boulders on the gently sloping W flank of Lee Moor. The ring measures 9.9m north-south by 9.4m with a gap in the eastern side. The interior lies at the same level as the surrounding ground surface. See Butler Volume 3 pp.162-3 Map 51 Figure 51.6 Ring of stones shown to the west of Settlement B at Upper Spanish Lake. Not listed in Butlers cairn listing.

CC:VenfordResE
Venford Reservoir E: A ring cairn sited 6m east of the Holne to Hexworthy road and on the crest of the ridge which extends between Bench Tor and Holne Lee. The cairn consists of a low (0.2m) circular earthwork with a diameter of approximately 20m and a central mound. Much of the circle has been effaced possibly by road builders and a pair of tinners pits have destroyed part of the western sector. The best preserved section is on the northern side where a low curved bank survives with a spread of approxima

CN 3 Barrows
Three Barrows Central: Three very large cairns known as the Three Barrows (see SX 66 SE 54 56) one of which being about 50 yards in diameter and 8 feet high is reputed to be perhaps the largest on Dartmoor. See also HER Southern cairn and HER Northern cairn

CN Addicombe1
Addicombe 1: Butler cairn 53.1.1. This is not listed on the NMR or HER records. There is clearly a mound at this location. Whether it is prehistoric or from the historic period is not clear.

CN Addicombe3
Addicombe 3: A hollow centred cairn small stones showing in the wall like perimeter which spreads out on the outer side. The west side has almost disappeared. The walls are covered with turf and bracken. May be a doubtful site result of land clearance?

CN Addicombe5
Addicombe 5: The author was looking for Addicombe 1 and encountered this which looks like a very dilapidated cairn that is much larger. There are no records of it. There are a number of mounds in the vicinity which are the result of the construction of the Red Lake tramway but this is quite a bit downhill from there and seems unlikely to be one of those. The Addicombe 1 cairn is around 3 metres across. This is considerably largermore like 12 metres (estimate from memory - not a measurement). The area is c

CN Ausewell E
Ausewell Rocks E: Eastern cairn of a pair south-east of Ausewell Rocks. Recorded by the Ordnance Survey in 1960. This cairn measures 18m in diameter and has a crater-like centre with two trenches driven from the margin towards the centre and 3 small round chambers like hut circles within the margin all modern disturbances.

It is built of stone and earth now turf-covered and is 13 metres in diameter and 0.7 metres high. A ditch and retaining kerb can be traced around the mound the centre of which is hollow with the remains of a small building.Butler has incorrect NGR: 66225945 cf. 66375947 (Grinsell UGB 17a) NGR corrected

CN BeaconPl 2
Beacon Plains 2: This should be approx. 50m distant from Beacon Plains 1. The slight mound with a change of vegetation in the photo might be this cairn (visited by author 30/03/2019). The co-ords given here are from this object. The HER co-ords are SX 66374 59469 the object in the photo is at SX 66389 59465. NB. The author revisited this on 22/04/2019. A more thorough search was done to try to pinpoint this cairn and nothing was found. This included looking up to 50 metres both west and east of the cairn

CN Bellever 5
Bellever Tor 5: This record used to link to HER record MDV 5889 but that is clearly Bellever Tor 4 (ring cairn). This site is mentioned within that HER entry but it is a separate monument. Arguably it needs its own record. NB. Butler cairns 4 and 5 had previously been transposed in the listings here. The original records for both have been retained and the Butler number corrected and the grid references corrected. This was previously listed as Butler cairn 4 and is now listed correctly as cairn 5. See als

Black Down: The monument includes a round cairn situated on Black Down on a narrow shelf on a steep east facing slope overlooking the valley of the Moor Brook. The cairn measures 8m in diameter and stands up to 0.8m high. A hollow in the centre of the mound represents the site of an early investigation. A further narrow trench cut next to the north western side of the mound is probably the result of historic military interference.

Corn Ridge W2: This monument includes a round cairn and stone hut circle situated on a narrow natural terrace on a steep west-facing slope overlooking west Devon. The cairn mound measures 16m in diameter and stands up to 0.8m high. A hollow in the centre of the mound suggests partial early excavation or robbing. Resembles ring cairn. The stone hut circle lies 7.5m ENE of the cairn and survives as a 1m-wide and 0.3m-high rubble bank surrounding an internal area measuring 3.2m long by 2.3m wide.

Composed of stones and small boulders it is 17.7 metres in diameter and a maximum 1.9 metres high. Spoil has been dumped around the top of the mound from the central excavation pit three backfilled trenches extend from this central depression. There is no visible evidence of a kerb or cist.

It was taken not long after the platinum jubilee celebrations in 2022 when a number of beacons were contructed on Dartmoor. The assumption is this was built up on top of the clearance cairn but the quantity of material obscures whether or not there is a mound there. No other obvious clearance cairn could be found in the vicinity suggesting this is it. THE HER gives the location as SX 59770 93820 and this is at SX 59746

Jones 1823 3.

CN Mardon 6
Mardon Down 6: A small circular mound of stones measuring 4.7 metres in diameter which is rather small for a sepulchral cairn and more likely to be associated with clearance perhaps of a date later than the larger cairns. However if so then it is the only recorded example in the vicinity and unusual for that reason. N.B. Extending Butlers 1-5 PDW is numbering this 6.

CN Mardon 7
Mardon Down 7: Small dump of cairn material just north of the track 5 metres in diameter was included in 2017 survey and is thought to be the result of dumping when the main cairn was despoiled probably in the 19th century. N.B. Extending Butlers 1-5 PDW is numbering this 7.

Mardon Down 8: Newman (2017) This earthwork which sits 18m north of the stone circle has in the past been recorded as a cairn. However there has to be some uncertainty over this because apart from its location (on a hilltop and associated with other prehistoric monuments) the layout of the surviving earthworks make it very difficult to interpret precisely.

CN Mardon NE 2
Mardon Down NE 2: The source of this record is the HER which gives a location of SX 77500 87928. From Google Earth this would place this site deep in bracken cover. Around 40 m due West there is a clerigthat looks plausibly like a cairn from Google Earth. This is just a few meters north of the possible cist. PDW is assuming the HER record is referring to this location i.e. SX 77463 87921. Also it seems likely that HER record 20073 refers to the same site despite different NGRs - it is little to the north

The loosely piled stones and boulders measure 6.7 metres by 3.8 metres and form two piles each 0.5 metres high. There is no evidence to suggest the presence of an original kerb. It is probably a Post Medieval stone clearance heap rather than a Bronze Age cairn.

The centre is much disturbed with many hollows up to 1m deep which have been interpreted as chambers but are most probably modern windbreak shelters. Two small satellite cairns lie immediately to the north west. Lethbridge suggests a chambered cairn see photos Lethbridge p.59-60 Chambered Cairn - diagram p.59

CN Tottiford
Tottiford Reservoir Mound: A total of 156 pieces of worked flint were recovered from the excavation with the majority of the material found consisting of debitage from flint working most of which is small enough to qualify as chips. The small size of much of the material the indications of blade and bladelet technology and one triangular platform rejuvenation flake suggest a date in the (probably later) Mesolithic for most of the material.

CN TrendleberS
Trendlebere Stone Row S: Cairn at southern end of stone row MDV8076 on Trendlebere Down north-east slope of Black Hill. The cairn at the southern end of the row is centred at SX 7662 7923. Its perimeter can be traced on the ground but only a grass covered crescent of stones survives in the eastern half.

CN TwoBarrows2
Two Barrows 2: Two Barrows 2. An oval stony mound measuring 15.5m E-W and 10.5m N-S. It stands up to 1.1m high and was probably originally bowl-profiled. The N slope is spit by a narrow path and a N-S slope across the top of the barrow has caused minor damage. It appears to be unexcavated. The mound is crossed by a maintained drystone field wall approaching from the SE and turning W on the barrow. The wall is built over the mound and does not seem to have caused much damage. This barrow appears to have be

CN U Spanish 4
Upper Spanish Lake 4: A hollowed-out cairn measuring 6.5m N to S by 6.4m and 0.9m high. There are no traces of a cist though some protruding stones on the E side may indicate the presence of a former kerb. A stone-lined hollow 2.5m in diameter and 0.6m deep lies in the centre of the mound and probably represents its reuse as a military training feature.

CN Ugborough 1
Ugborough Beacon 1: Cairn on the summit of Ugborough Beacon incorporates part of a granite outcrop in its structure. It consists of a rock and earth base surmounted by a mound of stones built up around the outcrop. It is 22 metres in diameter and 1.5 metres high. Visitors have repositioned some of the stones of the mound to form shelters.

CN WatchetHill
Watchet Hill: A Bronze Age round cairn situated on the summit of Watchet Hill. The cairn survives as a 0.8 metre high oval mound measuring 16.6 metres long north to south by 13.8 metres wide east to west. A T-shaped trench the consequence of a partial early excavation cuts through the central part of the mound. Adjacent to the south eastern side of the mound there is a 2.3 metre wide and 0.2 metre deep ditch. This represents the remains of the quarry ditch from which material was derived during the constr

Water Hill 1: Situated at SX 67158129 on the rounded summit of Water Hill is the remains of a substantial round cairn 18.0 metres in diameter and up to 1.4 metres high in the east and 0.9 metres in the west. The whole of the central area of the cairn has been robbed to construct a superimposed modern boundary cairn 4.0 metres in diam and 2.1 metres high. This has given a dished appearance to the cairn proper. Several large slabs averaging 0.8 metres by 0.7 metres scattered around the base of the boundary

CN WedlakeFarm
Wedlake Farm: Small turf covered cairn 5m diameter 0.5m high near centre of field. HER grid reference is 6 digit so location could be more that 100 metres out. UPDATE: The author walked along the bridal path near Wedlake Farm on 14/07/19 and a cairn was seen some distance from the HER grid reference SX 538 774 at SX 53893 77408. It seems very likely that this is the site - see photo. This record now uses the new grid reference. Now listed as cairn rather than reported cairn.

It is constructed of consolidated small stones and is now predominantly turf-covered. It measures 9m E-W by 8m transversely and is 0.7m high on the N (downhill) side and 0.3m on the S (uphill) side. Only two contiguous earthfast stones of the probable kerb are now evident on the N side. The excavation trench which lies E-W centrally across the cairn is about 1m wide

CN White SSE1
White Tor SSE1: The westernmost cairn of a group of three set close together. Mound measures 11.9 metres in diameter and stands up to 0.9 metres high. A stone kerb composed of small boulders defines the outer edge of the mound. A hollow in the centre of the mound and a trench cut into the western side are probably the result of the nineteenth-century partial excavation.

Partially excavated by the Dartmoor Exploration Committee in 1899 and this work revealed central pits containing ashes charcoal and flints. Centre of the mound contains a hollow indicating the location of the earlier partial excavation. Forms part of a widely dispersed group of at least fourteen cairns on the southern and eastern slopes of White Tor.

White Tor SSE8: Small disturbed flat-topped stony mound measuring between 4.2 and 5.9 metres lies approximately 30 metres to the north of the group of three cairns on the south slope of Whittor. Surveyed in 2003. This cairn is recored by Phil Newman in reports dated 2003 and 2018. The current author visited on 27th May 2022 and the photo is presumably the site in question.

The patch of stones on the top is more or less 14.0m across and 0.3 m high and the piling against the outcrop is 2.3m high. It is possible that this has resulted from bulldozing the cairn over the side of the outcrop but the stones appear quite stable and compacted.

See also site 1764 which has a very similar appearance and is 100 m due west of this.The HER (103623) grid reference closely matches the location of the other cairn in this pair so probably refers to that (as does the NMR record SX 66 SE 106). Butler lists only one such cairn which he refers to as being close to the stone row

Glasscombe Ball S2: Cairn west of the Butterdon Hill stone row 5 metres in diameter. May be medieval or later feature rather than prehistoric. See also site 1768 which has a very simimilar appearance and is 100 m due east of this cairn. The HER grid reference closely matches the location in this record. Butler lists one such cairn which he refers to as beign closr to the stone row - so probably the other one.

CN-Great Nod14
Great Nodden 14: Butler: The pit with a surrounding bank is also probably the remains of a robbed cairn. Visited 3 June 2022 ans 28/04/23. Butler suggests this pit is probably part of bronze age cairn. He could be right. Lake Viaduct can be seen from this location. A few hundred metres to the north on Lake Down there are some pits which are gun dug-outs overlooking the then railway over the viaduct. This pit doesnt look so modern and regular but it is quite overgrown.

CN-GutterTor 1
Gutter Tor 1: Butler: ... one which probably occupied the hilltop is now reduced to an arc of stones around the triangulation pillar and small stones strewn over the summit. There is no HER entry for this record which is reasonable given how speculative the nature of this Butler record.

CN-HartTor SW2
Hart Tor (SW of): Just N of W end of stone row 22: cairn claimed by Rowe (1896 191) considered a natural hillock. From a visit to the site on 18/5/19 it would appear to be natural although the side of the mound may be the result of earth works or a cutting perhaps from the historic period it is not far from an area of stream working. Seems an unlikely prehistoric cairn.

CN-Haytor N3
Haytor Down N3: One of group of 4 cairns - see Butler for diagram in Vol 1 and 5. Maybe medieval ditch. Sited at SX76597814 on a gently sloping northern summit of the Haytor Down spur is a circular ditch with a level interior and slight external bank. The well-defined ditch has a V profile and a diameter of 24m. It is 1.9m wide and survives to a depth of 0.6m. The external bank where visible is approximately 1.5m wide. The southern quadrant has been overlain by a modern footpath. The unsilted appearance o

Kestor: Possible tor cairn beneath sheer nw scarp of kes tor. Composed of even-sized smallish stones. Approx 12m diameter c 2m high though the surrounding scree makes accurate measurement difficult.

Merrivale reave 13: Their form and positioning does not suggest either a prehistoric origin nor a sepulchral use. [N.B. This Butler entry Merrivale reave cairns 13 (1-5) has been separated into individual sites.]

Merrivale Bridge E2: Dubious. Visited 09/09/23. There are nearby mounds with lots of activity of stone cutters. The appearance of this site is modern and the HER suggests military training pit. Either way it is not prehistoric. Entry altered to reflect it is not a cairn.

CN-MoorGate 1
Moor Gate 1: A low stony mound 13m in diameter and 0.6m high lies on the edge of a marshy area 150m S of the cattle grid on the Halstock track. Much of the cairns stony fabric protrudes through a thin covering of soil and the top possesses a distinct lip around its edge. The crest of this feature has been used as a site for a cattle feeder which has resulted in the erosion of much of the former turf covering and the creation of the lip around the top on the mound. There is no trace of a cist or kerb.

CN-Ramsley
Ramsley Hill (site of): Butler lists this amongst the cairns for his Map 41. However Map 40 was probably intended where there is a discussion of streamworking and associated mounds. Also there was a ninteenth century report of a stone row and associated monuments at Ramsley that no longer exist.

CN-Ranny Bk 22
Ranny Brook 22: A mound at SX 61940 63452 (Garmin GPS) is possibly the Ranny Brook 22 Cairn that Butler Map 52.9 refers to as a hut having been converted into a cairn. Butler gives SX 6193 6343 as the location - there are many huts in very close proximity in this area so certain identification is a bit tricky. The closest hut in the HER is 43759 which is thought to be located at SX 61956 63442 which is 19 metres from this mound. The site in the HER is supposedly 7.5 metres in diameter. So in terms of loca

It appears to be a cairn and the GPS location is some distance from any known recorded cairns - although Wedlake E1 and Wedlake E2 are not far. This is being listed as a reported cairn and only another site visit will throw more light on this. Revisited 13/08/25 and there is no doubt this is a cairn. Changed from reported cairn to cairn.

The cairns comprise stony turf-covered circular or elliptical heaps of between 2m and 5m across and up to 0.8m high. The majority of the cairns lie within a large abandoned newtake field (centred SX 6879 7521) which appears never to have been cultivated. The remainder are within smaller fields just to the east one of which contains cultivation ridges.

Corn Ridge W4 (duplicate): NGR is 6-digit from HER. This looks like a duplicate entry maybe of W4.1. Are there 4 or 5 of these cairns. The descriptions on the HER suggest 4 but there are 5 records? Duplication is more likely as this is a rare case where the underlying Butler records are a bit confusing.

Wigford Down 6: One of two cairns in a group on Wigford Down these are contained within the coaxial field system. This is a round cairn which survives as a circular mound measuring 10 metres in diameter and 0.6 metres high. A ring cairn lies just to the south (MDV48903) while three other cairns lie to the south-east.

Wigford Down 8: One of a group of four cairns or remains of cairns on or near the summit of Wigford Down. This cairn lies to the immediate south-east of a large damaged summit cairn (MDV2312) and measures 5.0 metres by 0.2 metres.

Wigford Down 10: Wigford Down 5 in Barrow Report 62.

Wigford Down 11: One of three scheduled round cairns that lie outside the coaxial field system on Wigford Down and survive as circular mounds. This cairn measures 7.0 metres in diameter by 0.3 metres in height. All three show evidence for either partial early excavation or robbing.

Wigford Down: A concentration of over 50 clearance heaps spread over an area of approximately 3.6 hectares in an area of much prehistoric activity at the southern end of Wigford Down. The clearance cairns comprise mounds of stones usually partly or fully covered by turf and heather that were piled at random intervals within the areas being cleared. Most are approximately circular with a diameter between 1m and 9m with an average of 4m standing up to 0.5m high.

Wigford Down: A circular structure previously recorded as a hut circle this circle is large and regular and appears to have been constructed from small stones now evenly covered by turf and although sited on slightly sloping ground no effort was made to level the interior. One partly exposed section shows that some of the stones were laid in courses and that the walls contain no orthostats. The external diameter is a consistent 14.4m with a measurable internal diameter of 8.8m and the bank does not appear

CN:Wild Tor 1
Wild Tor NE1: This is probably the cist and cairn excavated by Baring-Gould c1900. No trace of a cist today. Spooner observed a cairn in this vicinity in 1960. This maybe the cist excavated in 1900 or could be a different feature. Grinsell recorded these with two separate records.

Wittaburrow 1: A large stony round cairn south of Wittaburrow. The mound has a 25 metre diameter at base but the structure has been much altered probably robbed and is now quite low in places. A Ã¢â‚¬Ëœbite-shapedÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ section is missing from the main mound on the south-eastern side where a smaller cairn which is unlikely to be an original feature stands within the original spread of the monument. Two large hollows have been dug into the main mound which overall survives in a very uneven state.

Brake Corner 1: Hut circle at brake corner. A circular enclosure bounded by a bank consisting of small stone. Part of the interior has been filled in with cleared field stones. there is no trace of an entrance. Certain identification of the feature as a hut circle could not be made. No orthostats are visible and the construction using small stones is unusual for a hut. The exposed situation on the crest of a spur is more appropriate to a cairn but the walling at best about 0.4 m. high appears too regular

Cox Tor SE10: HER (1987): SX 5321 7618. An oval cairn situated on a slight slope SE of Cox Tor. It is composed of small and medium size stones (up to 0.2m diameter) forming a mound 4.6m by 4m and 0.35m to 0.45m high. There is a flattish top 2m across. No formal constructional details are visible. This cairn is similar to another situated 45m to the SW (see SX 57 NW 94).

Highdown 2: Post-medieval. NMR states The mound depicted on the OS 1:10000 scale mapping (1) and described by Grinsell (2) is largely obscured by gorse. It is not of prehistoric origin as it sits upon a number of narrow cultivation ridges associated with the post medieval field system in this area. It is more likely to be a relatively recent stone clearance heap. A similar feature (440692) lies 140m to the east.

CN?HigherTor 3

The remains of two hut circles at (approx) sx62186342 and sx62196343 both in poor condition. See also: Brook N2 (duplicate)[/url]

CN?Riddon 2
Riddon Corner: Butler: The cairn at 7 (8.0 x 1.0 m) 5 m from the field wall and close to a reave is probably prehistoric. A slight depression in its flat suface suggests it has been dug and a track cutting across the eastern edge has also caused some slight damage. A pile of stones in a similiar relationship to the next reave to the south is more likely to be clearance from the field.HER entry: A turf-covered mound measuring 8.2 by 7.2 by 0.7 metres high.

Riddon Ridge 7: Hut circle or cairn? Radcliffe: Grinsell lists this as a cist in his Table III with GR 6664 7657 but does not mention this in his List B. His grid reference differs from that of Turner who does not mention a cist. SMR ref is 666 765.

Ringmoor Down 9 (3 cairns): Could these be Ringmoor Down (N. of row) 1-3 (HER 22767).

Saddlesborough pound A, wall cairn: Butler describes a cairn-like structure within the enclosure wall of Pound A. A small cairn-like erection 3.5 m across projecting into the interior from the outer wall was probably a style support for access into the pound.

It appears to have utilised bedrock and is almost a ring cairn on the western side where broken rocks have been piled up.

Eight large upright slabs and boulders up to 0.6m high lie on the fringe of the mound to create a substantial retaining circle. There is no evidence to suggest the presence of a cist though is seems likely that the interior of the cairn has been used as a repository for cleared stone. A large number of relatively recent clearance cairns lie in the immediate area. Butler Standon Hill W - Vol.

FT Blackbury
Blackbury Camp: Blackberry Castle. Iron Age. This is a splendid univallate hillfort with a massive flint built rampart and deep outer ditch. On the south side is the original entrance which is slightly out-turned and originally contained a timber gateway which was probably bridged. To this entrance was added a triangular outer defence or barbican which was never completed. The present gaps in the north west and east are recent.

Boro Wood Camp: Boro Wood Camp. Hillslope enclosure of probable Iron Age date situated on the eastern promontory which forms the south-east extremity of Ausewell Hill at approximately 230m OD. The enclosure is approximately elliptical and constructed from stone rubble. The wall or rampart has been heavily robbed. There are several gaps in the wall though none may be identified as an entrance with any confidence.Location

FT Brent Hill
Brent Hill: This monument includes a slight univallate hillfort with outworks hut circle platforms and beacon situated at the summit of the prominent Brent Hill. The hillfort survives as an irregularly shaped enclosure surrounding the summit of a naturally steep and rocky hillside which is further enhanced by a partial rampart and ditch.

FT Brent Tor
Brent Tor: Iron Age hillfort at Brent Tor with an incomplete rampart enclosing the north and eastern sides of the tor. The hill was subsequently used by the abbots of Tavistock as the site for Brentor parish church. Additional earthworks within the area enclosed by the rampart may represent the site of a medieval fair and post-medieval quarrying or mining.

Cranbrook Castle: The outer rampart cuts or overlies the banks of an earlier field system. Upwards of 30 clearance cairns are visible in the interior date unknown. The outer defences on the east and west sides are clearly incomplete. On the north side the inner rampart line is marked by 2 very low linear dumps of stone which appear to have acted as markers for the front and rear of the rampart. No trace of an accompanying ditch. The original bivallate plan of the hillfort is reinforced by the abrupt termi

FT Dumpdon
Dumpdon: Small bivallate triangular-shaped hillfort of late Iron Age date with the narrowest part pointing south. The double ramparts on the northern side are the most substantial and there is an elaborate in-turned entrance in the north-east corner. It has been suggested that the hillfort was never completed or fully occupied.

FT East Hill
East Hill: A promontory fort of likely Iron Age date containing a further probably earlier enclosure. It occupies an elevated position at the tip of the spur between the East Okement River and the Moor Brook. The southern and eastern sides of the site are formed by precipitous slopes that fall into wooded gorges while the west and northwest are delimited by a well-defined rampart and ditch pierced by a single entrance. The highest point within the fort the SE quadrant is occupied by the earlier enclosure

NE Upper Glaze
Upper Glazebrook: A rectangular enclosure not far from Corringdon Ball chambered tomb measuring 112m by 34m that can be seen clearly on aerial and satellite photos of the area. The walls are up to 1.5m thick and 0.3m high and have been entirely destroyed on the east and north-west sides. There is no obvious entrance and the interior is empty of any structure. According to Butler the east to west orientation of the long axis could suggest a mortuary enclosure of mid-neolithic date (Vol 5 pp.155-6).

White Tor (Whittor): Neolithic tor enclosure. A camp on the summit of White Tor formed by a double wall now in ruinous condition. Both walls appear to have been 10 to 11 feet thick the outer wall being 4 to 4 1/2 feet high the inner 6 to 7 feet high. The distance between the walls varies between 10 and 40 feet. The entrances are to the east where access is easier they are not opposite and are protected by the spur walls. Within the camp are four hut circles and three possible hut shelters and two northern

Dewerstone: A poorly preserved stone-built double walled enclosure the outer of which is thought to represent the site of a Neolithic hilltop enclosure. The outer enclosure is potentially Neolithic while the inner is probably of Bronze Age date. The stone-built double wall of the outer enclosure is poorly preserved with an average height of 0.7m and given its loose composition is unlikely to have stood higher than 1.5m. The inner and outer walls now have average widths of 4.0m and 3.4m respectively. Five

Butterdon Hill chambered cairn: The mound is situated on a slight south-east slope at 1050 ft O.D. It is 25 metres long orientated north-south is 16.0 metres wide and 0.9 metre high at the north end and 10.0 metres wide and 0.7 metre high at the south end. There are no visible side ditches. The construction is of earth and small stones but extensive pillaging and/or excavation has exposed a number of large upright and some displaced stones. The mound is certainly a long barrow.

NT Corringdon
Corringdon Ball chambered tomb: An earthen long barrow with a ruined stone chamber at the south east end. Early excavation and mutilation has resulted in two distinct mounds the larger one at the south east end separated from the smaller by a path or trackway. The smaller mound appears to mark the limit of the barrow on the northwest beyond this it merges into the natural hill-side. There are no side ditches but these may be obscured by soil washed down from the hill. The length is 42.0 m the maximum widt

RS Bellever
Bellever: Natural crevice in Bellever Tor forming a possibly built up Rock Shelter as reported by Robert Burnard (1914). Date of shelter not known for certain but signs of ancient habitation and numerous flints found.

RS HawksTor
Hawk's Tor: Natural feature Hawks Tor rock shelter - resembles tomb. At the summit stands a rock shelter v shaped in plan with a coverstone. Rowe referred to it as a cromlech. R. N. Worth called it a natural grouping of rocks. Mr. Beckerlegge on examining the coverstone found a similar vein of quartz in the coverstone as in the rocks of the v shaped shelter but running in a different direction. The coverstone must have been levered or swung in an anti-clockwise direction through an angle of 90 degrees to

SC Brisworthy
Brisworthy: The Brisworthy circle underwent major reconstruction carried out by Breton and the Barrow Committee in 1909. At the time only 4 stones remained standing whilst another 21 were lying roughly in place. Some 15 stones out of 40 are missing no doubt robbed for nearby enclosures and walls. A low rubble bank surrounds the circle which can be seen on LIDAR data. This is discussed in detail in the article Dartmoor Site: Brisworthy Stone Circle linked above in this listing.

SC Buttern 1
Buttern Hill: NNE of Scorhill about 2Km. The remains of a Bronze Age stone circle situated on level ground overlooking the valley of the North Teign River and Whitemoor Marsh. The stone circle measures 24.8 metres in diameter and is denoted by five upright granite slabs standing up to 0.76 metres high. A further 12 recumbent stones lie where they have fallen. Also known as the Throwleigh circle. According to R.N. Worth although not confirmed since there was a small cairn between five and six yards in from

SC DownRidge
Down Ridge: Also known as Hexworthy Circle. situated on a gentle north facing slope overlooking the valley of the River Dart. The stone circle measures 25 meters in diameter and is denoted by five upright granite slabs standing up to 1.45 meters high which are confined to its south western sector. A further six recumbent stones lie where they have fallen. The stone circle was partially excavated in 1904 by the Dartmoor Exploration Committee and their work revealed the original ground surface covered with

SC Fernworthy
Fernworthy: The Fernworthy circle is part of a group of ceremonial monuments including 3 stone rows and 5 cairns that may once have rivalled Merrivale and Shovel Down as ceremonial centres. The site is in a small clearing in Fernworthy Forrest off the path to Teignhead Farm. The circle is remarkably intact with all but 2 stones still in their original places ... It is 20m in diameter and consists of 27 small stones. The stone rows and cairns probably came later and surround the site. The circle was excava

SC Grey Weth N
Grey Wethers (N): Northern stone circle of the pair known collectively as The Grey Wethers. This circle measures 31.5 metres in diameter and is denoted by 20 upright granite slabs with an average height of 1.1 metres. Excavations carried out by the Dartmoor Exploration Committee towards the end of the 19th century revealed a layer of charcoal covering the original ground surface. A shallow trench visible leading through the southern circle may be the result of this excavation. The circle was restored at t

SC Grey Weth S
Grey Wethers (S): This site is one of the most impressive on Dartmoor. The circles were restored in 1909 by Burnard. At the time only 9 stones remained standing in the north circle and 7 in the south circle. It is thought that the reconstruction is fairly accurate. The circles are separated by a few meters and are almost identical. Both circles have 30 stones and diameters very close to 33 m and they are within 2 degrees of being on an exact north to south alignment. The slight differences between the two

SC Langstone
Langstone Moor: The Langstone standing stone and also the stone circle were used for target practice by American troops who were stationed nearby during the Second World War. Bullet holes can be seen on the Langstone standing stone and the circle was sadly smashed to smithereens. The Langstone Moor Stone circle had been restored in 1894 when all of the stones were re-erected in their original socket holes.

SC Mardon Down
Mardon Down: Mardon Down stone circle is the biggest by circumference on Dartmoor with a diameter of 38m. The site would have been impressive in its day and is one of the only ones sited on the top of high ground and has a fine view of the surrounding area. Today the circle is fairly dilapidated. Six stones remain upright and another 16 lie roughly in place. There are two massive megaliths one of which is on the north-western part of the circle. A short arc of seven stones remains in position on the south

SC Merrivale
Merrivale: A stone circle with a diameter of 20.0m. measured from northeast to southwest and 18.0m from northwest to southeast. It is formed by eleven stones spaced between 2.7m and 6.7m. apart and from 0.3m. to 0.5m. high. Three of the stones are of post type and eight are upright slabs. An additional stone 7.5m. from the northeast side and 0.3m high is angled towards the circle and may be quite unassociated.

SC Scorhill
Scorhill: One of the most impressive stone circles on Dartmoor and one of the few that has not been restored. The circle consists of 23 granite slabs up to 2.5m high with a further 11 recumbent stones. The circle is not the largest in terms of diameter but it is the most striking circle on Dartmoor with some of the largest standing stones.

SC Sherberton
Sherberton: Remains of a 97 ft diameter stone circle with a stone wall passing through its western side. Nine of the original stones are still standing plus one larger stone which is incorporated in the remains of the old wall which bisects the western extremity of the circle. This stone appears to have been removed from the original circumference and its height is 1.4m. The remaining nine stones range in height from 0.3m to 0.75m. The original circle appears to have been c. 30m across although no stones

SC Shovel Down
Shovel Down: The remains of an alleged stone circle lie on the gentle NE facing slope of Shovel Down 200m SW of Batworthy Corner. Three upright stones between 0.3m and 0.75m high are visible. The two close-set NE stones display smaller packing stones in the erosion hollows at their bases. The third stone is partly obscured by the bank of the South Hill Leat (SX 68 SW 97). It is possible that these stones constitute the remains of a stone circle however no such feature is noted in the antiquarian records s

SC Sittaford
Sittaford: Discovered by Alan Endacott in 2007 as described in Devon Archaeological Society Newsletter No. 117 January 2014. Circle consists of 30 recumbent stones and has a diameter of 32m. It is about 1km from the Grey Wethers which are to the ENE. It is on the same arc as the previously known circles in northeastern Dartmoor.

SC Sourton Tor
Sourton Tors: A stone circle diameter about 110 ft and appearing to have comprised 32 stones of which all but six remain where they have fallen has been discovered between Sourton Tors and Cornridge. In size it compares with the circles of the Grey Wethers and Scorhill. For a photo of this site see: Portal: Sourton Tors Stone Circle[/url]

SC Thornworthy
Thornworthy: Possible stone circle at Thornworthy reported by Sam Goodwin on a Facebook posting. The HER entry MDV6666 perhaps relates to this feature a discounted reported stone row.

SC Tottiford
Tottiford: The Tottiford circle was discovered in 2009 when there was lower than usual levels of water in Tottiford reservoir it featured as part of a Time Team dig in 2010. Normally it is submerged within the reservoir. During the drought of August 2022 the stones were exposed again for the first time for years. Photo by Zoe Lester taken on 04/09/22.

SC White Moor
Little Hound Tor (or White Moor): The circle is in good condition today but only 13 stones remained standing when the Dartmoor Exploration Committee re-erected 5 of the stones in 1896. The site is a fairly accurate circle of circumference 20.2m. A cairn lies close to the circle a heather covered mound about 8.5m across. The White Moor stone lies 160m to the SE of the circle and it is thought to be contemporary with the circle but probably out of position having been re-erected at some point. It is now a b

SC:Buttern 2
Buttern Hill 2: R.N. Worth Throwleigh (i.e.Buttern) circle is also noteworthy for having a companion a short distance on the slope to the westward. The existence of this circle has not been put on record until now and indeed it might well escape observation seeing that there are only four certain stones still standing with possibly a fifth and that the remainder have disappeared. This circle was clearly not less than 60 feet in diameter. There is a very large block of irregular outline within its limits

SC:Buttern 3
Buttern Hill 3: Possible circle circa 180 metres north-west of the Buttern Hill circle comprising four or five stones around a fallen standing stone. Recorded by Worth (1894) and apparently seen by the Ordnance Survey in 1950 although the recorder in 1951 could not locate it this feature has not been confirmed since 1950.

SC:Stall Moor
Stall Moor: An irregular circuit of small earthfast stones 200 metres to the north of the Stall Down stone row may represent the remains of an alleged stone circle which was recorded 64 metres to the northwest of this location though it is not circular. The internal distance across the stones is 11.5 metres maximum with a minimum of 9 metres. None of the stones exceed 0.4 metres in height

SC:Sticklepath
Sticklepath: This feature was reported by The Captain on the Megalithic Portal on 20/06/2004 and a site page was made (linked to this record). The author there states: I would estimate the circle to be between 30 and 35 metres diameter with a possible 18 evenly spaced stones remaining all either as stumps or flat to the ground.

The first stone in the row is 10.35 metres from the centre of the terminal thereafter the spacing becomes about 3 metres. The maximum height of the stones is 0.67 metre. The row become

SR Butterdon
Butterdon Hill Row: The northern part of the Butterdon stone row has been surveyed from Hangershell Rocks cairn at SX 65645941 to Hobajons Cross at SX 65506045. and For the 1050m of this part the majority of the several hundred stones are from 0.1m to 0.4m high and form an irregular line. There is a gap of 70.0m on the north side of Hangershell but otherwise the row is fairly continuous. The area is not entirely free of natural surface stones and while some can be immediately discounted occasionally there

SR ButterdonE
Butterdon E: There are two massive slabs with one small slab forming an alignment. It is unclear whether these were originally standing but it is thought they could have been placed in their current locations. This would make for a very spectacular stone row and one that would be quite unique on Dartmoor. However there are stone rows consisting of two huge slabs and a small central slab in other parts of the country. The grid reference given here and the photo is of the central stone.

SR Cantrell
Cantrell: A double stone row with a cairn at the north-east end lies near the moor gate at Cantrell Ugborough Moor. The southern row consists of nine stones one of which is almost buried and one has fallen. The length of the row from the centre of the cairn is 153 feet and the alignment is N44o 20 E. The rows are from 7 to 12 feet apart and the stones are about 5 feet 6 inches apart centre to centre. The cairn has a diameter of 22 feet and encloses what may be the remains of a cist.

SR Challacombe
Challacombe Down: Bronze Age triple stone row well marked and wider apart at the north drawing nearer to the south where they meet a blocking stone of unusual size. The stones have suffered little in their restoration except that a stone in the middle row was turned to form a blocking stone for that row. The loose stones scattered to the west of the north end have been suggested to form a stone circle and additional rows but may be stones excavated from the north end of the stone row. Breton p.41-42

SR CollardTorE
Collard Tor E: Butler Collard Tor 1. Two stone rows each headed by a cairn lie on a gentle clitter-covered south-facing hillslope between 239m and 259m above OD.

There are a total of 17 upright and 15 recumbent stones. The average gap between stones is 10m and between the pairs the gap is some 1.4m wide. Lethbridge diagram p.107.

SR CorringdonN
Corringdon Ball North: A single stone row length 157 metres spacing 1.0 metres starting on the east with a cairn diameter 6.7 metres previously opened. The first stone of the row lies 18 metres west of the cairns centre there has been considerable robbery for the benefit of modern stone walls. The row clearly extends for 157 metres from the centre of the cairn but with long intervals between the last stones. The stones are small the highest being 635 millimetres.

SR CorringdonS
Corringdon Ball South: Corringdon ball stone rows. Six or seven rows of small stones approximately 75m long terminating at the east end in a small semi-circular stone setting of five stones none more than 500mm high and the alignments are irregular - they run along the contours. Situated on the open moor between the east and west glaze brooks. A complicated set of stones which can only be aligned into rows by exact survey. The direction of the rows is approximately south west. Described by R H Worth as tw

SR Cosdon
Cosdon: A triple stone row lies near the summit of Cosdon Hill and is 447 feet in length measured from the centre of the circled cairn which stands at the west end. At 225 feet from the west end there is a slight change in direction and the rows turn somewhat northward. This change of direction may be said to divide the row into western and an eastern section. Overall width western part is 8 feet 10 inches eastern part 10 feet 8 inches. The cairn is 26 feet in diameter and contains the remains of two cist

SR Cut Hill
Cut Hill: Discovered in 2004. Prehistoric stone row of 6-7 large granite slabs near the summit of Cut Hill. All the slabs are recumbent with one buried.

The row survives well for 125m although beyond this (to the N) it has been heavily disturbed by forestry activity as far as the barrow. The plan of 1898 made prior to afforestation shows the N end of the double row as already `buried or lost. The surviving part of the double row contains paired low stones 0.8m to 1.4m apart averaging 0.3m high although many are flush w

Fernworthy 2: Butler Row 2. Centred at SX 65518404 is a cairn. 45m to the N at SX 65508409 is a barrow containing the remains of a cist. Between the two are the very fragmented remains of an alleged double stone row running N to S parallel to another row (SX 68 SE 59) which leads towards Fernworthy Stone Circle. The row barrow and cairn have all been comprehensively damaged by afforestation and the digging of the adjacent drainage channels. Seven stones survive of an alignment but there is little evidence

Fernworthy 3: Butler Row 3. A disturbed double stone row is centred SX 65488408. It is 21m long and is oriented N to S. At the N end is a cairn (SX 68 SE 58) offset slightly W of the alignment of the row. Beyond this to the N is Fernworthy Stone Circle (SX 68 SE 56). The S end of the row is not very well preserved. The plan of 1898 depicts it terminating at a stone in the face of a wall although the wall has since been removed. The stones in the row average 0.5m to 0.6m tall and lie in an area of amorphou

SR Grimslake
Grimslake Cist: The author visited this site on 21/06/24 and concluded there was no stone row but took a photo of some stones near the cairn and cist that are roughly linear but not convincing for a stone row. The Stone Rows of Great Britain website reached the same conclusion but with far more detail. This is not in my view a stone row. This site is now listed as reported stone row instead of a stone row.

SR Hamel NE
Hamel Down: No NMR listing. HER record Described in Butler Volume 1 Map 20.3. To the south of Berry Pound is a small longhouse. Within the abandoned field 250m south of the longhouse are the probable remains of a single row first recorded in 1983. Five or six stones remain in line up to 206m apart the rest having been removed or buried when the field was ploughed.

The cairn described by Authority 2 lies at the south end of the site with the surviving stones of the stone row to the north. As so few stones survive the exact form and extent of the rows is impossible to determine but there may have been as many as three parallel rows approximately 1.0 metre apart.

It was surrounded by a double retaining circle and a stone row lead from it north west of which ten stones remained but these had sunk into the bog leaving only their tops showing. SRGB states: This description makes it clear that this is unlikely to be a stone row since a row composed of small stones would not have survived the ditch digging involved in the building of the hedge.

[Entry no. 70 in An archaeological check-list for Harford Devon Archaeological Society/DCRA publications no. 11 (1982)]

SS Challacombe
Challacombe Down: The largest and most prominent blocking stone of the Dartmoor rows is to be found at the Challacombe triple row. Worth states that it is over 5 feet in width at the base and over 6 feet in height. Butler (Vol. 2) states that the terminal pillar is today 0.5m shorter than when it was measured in 1893.

SS Down Tor
Hingston Hill (Down Tor): A stone alignment and cairn situated on a saddle 620 metres east of Down Tor. The alignment is orientated east-north-east to west-south-west running for 316 metres and containing at least 174 stones with the tallest at either end. The westernmost stone stands 2.8 metre high the easternmost stone stands 1.6 metres high and the remainder vary between 1 metre and 0.2 metres in height. The westernmost stone and an unknown number of others were re-erected by Baring-Gould and Burnard i

SS Drizzle NE
Drizzlecombe NE: Largest standing stone on Dartmoor - terminal for Drizzlecombe stone row. It is 4.2m in height with a distinctive bulging profile at the top. Worth suggests it was probably dragged here from Higher Hartor Tor about 1km away. Re-erected in 1893. Lethbridge Row B. pp.38-42. Diagram p.38. Worths Row 19/Row C. Used to be listed as HER 14781 perhaps now deleted as an HER duplicate record.

SS Drizzle NW
Drizzlecombe NW: Terminal for Drizzlecombe NW stone row. Re-erected in 1893. Lethbridge Row C. pp.38-42. Diagram p.38. NB. This website had previously matched this site with the HER record 3377. That record now clearly refers to the NE stone - although that may not have previously been the case. There is no HER record for this site now. Worths Row 18/Row B. Previously listed here with a grid referecne of SX 59200 67020 which is quite a bit out.

SS Drizzle S
Drizzlecombe S: Terminal stone of the southern double row at Drizzlecombe. The standing stone at the southwest end measures 1.8 metres by 0.4 metres and is 3.2 metres high. Re-erected in 1893. Lethbridge Row A pp.38-42. Diagram p.38. Worths Row 17/Row A.

SS Halstock
Halstock: Small standing stone north of East Bowden near three prehistoric cairns. Gerrard p.63: There are possible standing stones at Halstock and Butterdon Down. Two of the cairns (East Bowden 2 and 3) align on the stone.

SS Hanging
The Hanging Stone: Located on Lee Moor. The Hanging Stone or Leaning Rock 7ft 9ins in length but because of the stone being 38o out of the vertical its vertical height is only 6ft 9ins. It measures 3ft 7ins by 1ft 10ins at the base and is incised on one face with the letters CB showing that at one time it was used as a bound-post. It is believed to be prehistoric. TDA Vol. 72 1940 pp. 192-3 (R Hansford Worth). See also Dartmoor: The

SS Harbourne
Harbourne Man: A standing stone represented by a leaning slab of moorland granite. It stands in a slight depression probably worn by cattle using it as a rubbing post. It is 2.40m in length and 1.0m by 0.3m at its base tapering to 0.3m by 0.15m. See also Dartmoor: Dartmoors Harbourne Man[/url]

SS Heath Stone
Heath Stone: The original Heath Stone was a boundary stone which was referred to in the Perambulation of the Forest of Dartmoor in 1240 and some very early maps. According to Butler (Vol. 2 Map 25 p.32) the stone carved with a biblical inscription in 1970 that is currently known as the Heath Stone is unlikely to have been the original Heath Stone as it is in a useless position to be of any use as a boundary stone. The stone was not included in maps from the 18th century and then reappeared in a different

SS Hurston
Hurston Ridge: Hurston Ridge is one of the best examples of a double stone now on Dartmoor. At the south end is a cairn 22 feet in diameter. The space between the rows widens intentionally as it approaches the cairn. The first stone from the south in the eastern row is the largest stone and stands 5 feet 10 inches high. Crossing suggests this may have been the original Heath Stone.

SS Langstone
Langstone Moor: The Langstone standing stone is 2.76m high and can be seen from some distance. It was restored in its original socket in 1893. The Langstone is close to a stone row consisting of very small stones. The Langstone standing stone and also the stone circle were used for target practice by American troops who were stationed nearby during the second world. Bullet holes can be seen on the Langstone standing stone. Lethbridge pp.13-14. Breton (p.17) The stone is composed of local gabbro and was fo

SS Laughtor
Laughtor Man: The longstone is 2.4 m high and was found prostrate on a cairn which was excavated by Burnard. The cairn contained a great quantity of charcoal and peat ashes. The longstone was restored in 1903. A double stone row heads to the longstone. Breton p.41 a huge menhir I found in June 1913 lying on the ground. It was then 16 ft long but 4 ft. had been broken off. It was re-erected by the late Rev S. Baring Gould with the Duchy appliances and he told me that they could not join the two pieces so h

SS Leeden Hill
Leeden Hill: Possibly a prehistoric standing stone but may also be a much later marker since there are at least three similar stones in a line towards Ingra Tor set out at wide intervals as if to mark a boundary

SS Long Stone
Shovel Down Long Stone: The Long Stone has been used as a boundary stone but it appears to be the terminal stone for a Bronze Age stone row and it may be of a contemporary date. Grinsell [Folklore 1976]: At the beating of the bounds of Gidleigh Common the first man to reach the Long Stone is (or was) given a money prize. Fielden 1933. The current author has been informed this tradition continues. See also Dartmoor: The Shoveldon Lon

SS Longstone
Longstone Hill: Possible recumbent longstone on summit of Longstone Hill east of Meldon Reservoir. Suggested as possible menhir by Butler and Newman. Historic England:A sinuous 50 metres long 2 metres wide and 0.25 metres high bank lying within the monument leads towards a large recumbent stone. This stone measures 1.75 metres long 0.8 metres wide and 0.45 metres thick and is the only large stone visible on Longstone Hill. It has been suggested that this may be the longstone which once stood upright to gi

SS Maximajor
Maximajor Stone: Situated on Mardon Moor the Headless Cross or Maximajor Stone despite its name was never a cross. It was a megalith although apparently the current stone is a replacement for the original which was damaged beyond repair by a car. See also: Dartmoor: The Maximajor Stone[/url]

SS Merrivale
Merrivale: Two Bronze Age standing stones with a disturbed cairn and a number of small earth fast stones. Located in open generally clitter-free moorland. Only one of the two stones still stands it is 3.2 metres high and tapers from the base which is 0.7 by 0.5 metres in section. Whether the stone was once the focus or terminus of a stone rows is uncertain. The second stone is now fallen it is 2.2 metres long up to 0.4 metres wide and 0.3 metres thick. An adjacent 0.3 metre deep pit may be its socket hole

SS OxenhamArms
Oxenham Arms: The Oxenham Arms now an inn is the former manor house and home of the Burgoyne family. A courtyard plan house it was originally a two-room-and-through passage plan. An interesting feature is an enormous upright slab of granite built into the inner wall of the rear parlour. This looks very much like a prehistoric standing stone and it seems that the house was built around it.

SS Piles Hill
Piles Hill: The fallen menhir on Piles Hill: The Longstone is a block of very coarse-grained pinkish granite. It is now 2.5m long and of rough rectangular section tapering from a base formerly about 0.4m. by 0.7m. which has been squared and snapped by drilling. The stone lies in a northwest to southeast direction. To its northeast side there is a boundary stone erected in 1803 and shaped by drilling. It is of identical stone and appears to have been fashioned from the Longstone which would therefore have

SS Scorhill
Scorhill Circle: Largest stone in the Scorhill Circle. In strict terms this would not typically be classified as a standing stone as it is a member of the stone circle. It is the largest stone in a Dartmoor stone circle at 8 feet 2 inches tall.

SS Shapley
Shapley Common: Possible standing stone see Butler Vol V (1997) p 212.

SS Shovel Down
Fourfold Circle: The south end [of the double row] is aligned on a cairn Fourfold Circle (SX 68 NE 17) and separated from it by two massive fallen stones one needle-shaped and similar to the Longstone (SX 68 NE 39) southern terminal of stone row E.

SS Three Boys
Three Boys: Terminal for stone row - one of 3 stones. 3 standing stones of which only one remains sometimes claimed as remains of burial chamber. This record has two entries this one as a standing stone as widely reported but also as reported cairn or tomb see Boys Reported Cairn SiteID=1268[/url]

SS White Moor
White Moor Stone: The White Moor stone lies 160m to the SE of the Little Hound Tor stone circle and it is thought to be contemporary with the circle but probably out of position having been re-erected at some point. It is now a boundary marker.

SS White Ridge
South Teignhead: Possible recumbent standing stone. A small circular pound about 350 yards (sic) SE of Grey Wethers. It measures 75ft (N-S) by 66ft the bank composed of small stone and earth is 6-8ft wide and 3ft high. An entrance on the W has one door jamb standing this was excavated but nothing was found except a very fine flat stone on the subsoil which measured 9ft long by 3-4ft wide. Trial pits were dug inside the enclosure without success. TDA Vol. 34 pp.164 (1902)

SS-Merrivale 2
Merrivale Recumbent Slab: The second stone is now fallen it is 2.2 metres long up to 0.4 metres wide and 0.3 metres thick. An adjacent 0.3 metre deep pit may be its socket hole. According to Butler it was erected in 1895 in the pit alongside toppling again a few years later. Breton (p.14) A smaller menhir is near ... [to the Merrivale Longstone].
