hut circlesby *sassaputzin

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Landscapes

Shot just off the road between Moretonhampstead and the warren inn looking across Chagford common on a very blustery day.

These stone circles are the remains of the prehistoric dwelling that litter Dartmoor.

history bit:
It is estimated that on Dartmoor there have been about 5,000 round houses identified so far. The majority of these features date to the Middle Bronze Age (MBA) which would date them to between 1400 to 1000BC. In recent years about 1,500 of the houses have been studied and the various characteristics and styles of the houses compared to form a solid typology. This has been based on the various construction methods and plans in order to flag up the similarities and variances between individual houses.
