Dry Lake North Settlement
Dry Lake North Settlement submitted by thecaptain : Fairly well preserved ancient settlement on the eastern flanks of the Erme valley, consisting of several large walled enclosures, each containing several huts. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Fairly well preserved ancient settlement on the eastern flanks of the Erme valley, consisting of several large walled enclosures, each containing several huts.

To the south of the collection is a large circular pound with several huts incorporated into the walls.

Update September 2019: This settlement is featured on the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website - see their entry for the Dry Lake North Enclosed Settlement.

The settlement is also recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 442196, which tells us this sub-circular settlement measures 65m by 50m and covers 0.3hectares, lying on a moderate, well-drained, clitter free, south west facing slope. The Devon and Dartmoor HER also includes an entry for this site; see MDV4295 (Settlement 200m north-west of Dry Lake).
