Merrivale stone row and storm approaching, taken when I was teaching photography in 2013 before I fell ill. Can’t get to it any more but can see the stones in the distance from the road. I reordered some more greetings cards with this photo on the front #Dartmoor #Devon #photography #stonerow
These stones and cairns were built between 2500 BC and 1000 BC.

Dartmoor, Devon

Hart Tor Double Stone Row, looking west with Black Tor on the horizon. The Bronze Age row of about 120m terminates at its eastern end at a cairn enclosed by kerb stones, some of which are shown here. Although damaged by past tin workings, about 100 stones remain. Another single and shorter stone row lies to the south, also terminating in a cairn.

Hound Tor Deserted Medieval Village, Dartmoor

This settlement, situated about 350m above sea level, consists of a cluster of C13 granite longhouses, in which people lived at one end and animals at the other, on land that was originally farmed in the Bronze Age. Hound Tor was probably deserted in the early C14 as widespread falling temperatures and rising rainfall caused crop failures and cattle disease, that hit this upland community badly.

Babeny Farm, Dartmoor

Former Devon longhouse, early-mid C16, with house end ruined, though shippon and passage remain intact and still in agricultural use. On right-hand wall of passage, now the gable end, is a large granite-framed fireplace, with an absolutely massive lintel, which although nicely shaped is probably far larger than was necessary and must have been extremely difficult to manoeuver into place.

Stunning weather. Got lost. Amazing ride.

One of Dartmoor's finest stone rows for today's #StandingStoneSunday - Cosdon Hill triple row, with terminal cairn and stone circle.

Visited on a scorching hot St George's Day, April 2011.

Dartmoor again for today's #StandingStoneSunday - after the longest row last week, this is Stalldown stone row, with the tallest stones of any of the Dartmoor rows.

Visited June 2010 on a walk from Ivybridge train station.

#StoneRow #BronzeAge #StandingStones #Dartmoor

Going minimalist for today's #StandingStoneSunday offering: the small stones of Butterdon Hill stone row, running a mile or so past Butterdon Hill Bronze Age cairns northwards to the Long Stone on Piles Hill. (Portrait, needs a click)

My first stonehead visit to Dartmoor, 12 years ago yesterday on a grey day.

@MadeyeTheCarnaptious Yay! Well spotted @JonSparks
…& hats off to @TheConversation for responsiveness and making the change. A much better article now about the #Dartmoor #WildCamping campaign and the defective #RightToRoam & #OutdoorAccess laws in #England🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, #Wales🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 and #NorthernIreland

I’m not intending to post too much work stuff on here, but this is one project I’m particularly proud of and which may be of interest to new followers who are interested in #Dartmoor, #Hiking, #UKNationalParks, #CountrysideManagement,
and #OutdoorAccess.
