Notes

I expect that the layout and format of this data will appear rather odd to some people. In particular, the names of the sites are a bit idiosyncratic. I have often, but not always, used the names that Jeremy Butler gave them in his excellent series Dartmoor Atlas of Antiquities vols I-V.

I have had a catalogue of cists on the site for some time, and then added basic information on stone rows (the grid references given are to the higher end). I then separated out the chambered cairns from cists, and more recently the standing stones, and stone circles.

There may be some omissions from the list, and there are certainly some errors. I know this, because I keep finding them (and recently, in September 2011, Dave Parks pointed out a few more). In particular, I am aware that the "Sites and Monuments Record", SMR has become the "Historic Environment Records", HER, and thus has a new set of numbers. I am at present in the process of adding links to this and the NMR, which I hope will be useful.

Send any suggestions, new information etc to me at
