Possible Ring Cairn in Devon
Information about the Holne Moor (N) Stone Ring Cairn Circle comes from the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website. Their notes say this is a "possible cairn in corner of a field. Stone ring 9.5m diameter internally, with bank 1.2m wide and 0.4m high. Joined on w side by reave."
There is no record for this site on Pastscape, but the Heritage Gateway for Devon & Dartmoor MDV26266 (Ring cairn in the parish of Holne) tells us the ring cairn was visible on RAF aerial photographs in 1946. It was last checked by RCHM in 1985. They date this feature to the Bronze Age (2200BC to 701BC).
The cairn is scheduled as part of Historic England List Entry No. 1020487 (Part of the Dartmeet coaxial field system and other archaeological remains on Holne Moor west and north west of Venford Reservoir).
