Ancient Village or Settlement in Devon

The Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website describes Routrundle South Enclosed Settlement as "A roughly oval field with diameters of 58.0 metres by 64.0 metres and a modern perimeter wall 1.5 metres high. There are no obvious footings of a previous wall but the plan and size (0.25 hectares) suggest that it is the fossilization of a prehistoric enclosure similar to that 250 metres to the north-east." Also see PDW's page for the Sharpitor area Stone Rows and Cists.

The Pastscape record for this Monument, Number 440181, informs us that this prehistoric compound lies 600ft south west of a similar pound (Routrundle North Enclosed Settlement).

The settlement is also recorded as MDV3775 (Routrundle South Pound, Walkhampton) on the Devon and Dartmoor HER, which adds that the pound contains no hut circles, and that "these pounds have been appropriated at a later date as small, ready-make newtakes." In 2013, a comment was added to this record to say "both north and south pounds are similar in size and shape to Cornish rounds which are Iron Age/Romano British in date."
