HISTORIC PRESERVATION at Grimspound, Dartmoor, Devon.
The site preserves a Bronze Age settlement enclosure on Dartmoor, including its massive stone perimeter wall and the low stone foundations of numerous round houses within it, exposed on open moorland rather than reconstructed. It is a scheduled monument on land within Dartmoor National Park. It lies in open, unenclosed moorland and is freely accessible at all times.
About Grimspound, Dartmoor, Devon
Bronze Age farming communities built Grimspound on Dartmoor around the second millennium BCE as an enclosed settlement of stone hut circles. A massive perimeter wall enclosed roughly two dozen huts along with an entrance, likely to shelter livestock as well as people. The site illustrated the pastoral life of prehistoric moorland communities in southwest Britain.
