Hound Tor Deserted Medieval Village

The remains of four 13th century stone farmsteads, on land originally farmed in the Bronze Age.

This isolated Dartmoor hamlet was probably abandoned in the early 15th century.

The fine remains of this abandoned and isolated settlement lie on the eastern edge of Dartmoor, between the granite landmarks of Hound Tor and Greator Rocks.

The village, which was excavated in the 1960s, consists of a cluster of rectangular longhouses and barns which were shown to date from the 13th century, though the area may have been used for summer grazing during the Roman period.
