Reasons for Designation

Dartmoor is the largest expanse of open moorland in southern Britain and, because of exceptional conditions of preservation, it is also one of the most complete examples of an upland relict landscape in the whole country. The great wealth and diversity of archaeological remains provide direct evidence for human exploitation of the Moor from the early prehistoric period onwards. The well-preserved and often visible relationship between settlement sites, major land boundaries, trackways, ceremonial and funerary monuments as well as later industrial remains, gives significant insights into successive changes in the pattern of land use through time. Stone hut circles and hut settlements were the dwelling places of prehistoric farmers on Dartmoor. They mostly date from the Bronze Age, with the earliest examples on the Moor in this building tradition dating to about 1700 BC. The stone-based round houses consist of low walls or banks enclosing a circular floor area; remains of the turf or thatch roof are not preserved. The huts may occur singly or in small or large groups and may lie in the open or be enclosed by a bank of earth and stone. Although they are common on the Moor, their longevity and their relationship with other monument types provide important information on the diversity of social organisation and farming practices amongst prehistoric communities. They are particularly representative of their period and a substantial proportion of surviving examples are considered worthy of protection.

In addition to the hut circle settlement, three round cairns survive within this monument. Round cairns are prehistoric funerary monuments dating to the Bronze Age (about 2000-700 BC). They were constructed as earthern or rubble mounds, the latter predominating in areas of upland Britain where such raw materials were locally available in abundance. Round cairns may cover single or multiple burials and are sometimes surrounded by an outer ditch. Often occupying prominent locations, they are a major visual element in the modern landscape. Their considerable variation in form and longevity as a monument type provide important information on the diversity of beliefs and social organisation amongst prehistoric communities. They are particularly representative of their period and a substantial proportion of surviving examples are considered worthy of protection. Dartmoor provides one of the best preserved and most dense concentrations of round cairns in south western Britain. A large part of a rabbit warren survives within this monument. Warrens are areas of land set aside for the breeding and management of rabbits or hares, usually comprising a series of purpose-built breeding places known as pillow mounds and buries, vermin traps and enclosures to contain and protect the animals, and living quarters for the warrener who kept charge of the warren. Pillow mounds are low oblong-shaped mounds of soil and/or stones in which the animals lived. They are usually between 15m and 40m in length and between 5m and 10m in width. Most have a ditch around at least three sides to facilitate drainage. Inside, are a series of interconnected narrow trenches excavated and covered with stone or turf before the mound was erected. Vermin traps of various kinds are found within most warrens. These consist of a small stone-lined passage into which the predator was funnelled by a series of ditches or walls. Over one hundred vermin traps have been recorded on the Moor, with the majority lying in the Plym valley. The warren boundaries were often defined by a combination of natural features such as rivers and walls. Within the warrens themselves smaller enclosed areas defined by a ditch and bank are sometimes found, and some of these may have been specialised breeding areas. Many of the warrens on the Moor contain a house in which the warrener lived. Most of the surviving warren earthworks probably date to between the 17th century and the later part of the 19th century and some continued in use into the early part of the 20th century. At least 22 warrens are known to exist on the Moor and together they contribute to our understanding of the medieval and post-medieval exploitation of the area. All well-preserved warrens are therefore considered worthy of protection. The two tinners' buildings lying within the monument survive well and may contain information relating to the exploitation of alluvial tin within the Plym valley. Two leats also cut across the monument. Various post-medieval shelters, pounds, a cache and a small area of alluvial streamworking provide evidence for continued use of the monument in the post-medieval period. The prehistoric settlement, three round cairns and rabbit warren at Legis Tor survive well despite limited post-medieval interference and antiquarian investigation. The monument forms a complex archaeological landscape containing archaeological and environmental information concerning the exploitation of the upper Plym valley between the Bronze Age and the post- medieval period.

Details

This monument includes an extensive prehistoric settlement, three round cairns, a post-medieval rabbit warren, two lengths of leat, two tinners' buildings and a small area of tin streamwork earthworks situated on the south facing side of Legis Tor overlooking the valley of the River Plym. The prehistoric settlement includes a series of enclosures situated along the lower slopes of Legis Tor, 58 associated stone hut circles and several lengths of boundary wall. The largest enclosure is agglomerate and includes six distinct enclosed areas each defined by a rubble wall standing up to 3m wide and 1m high. The overall dimensions of this enclosure are 135m north to south by 200m east to west. Lengths of field boundary lead west, north and east from the enclosure towards other enclosures and stone hut circles. Nineteen stone hut circles lie within this enclosure; of these, two are free standing, whilst the remainder are attached to enclosure boundaries. The stone hut circles survive as banks of stone and earth surrounding circular internal areas which vary between 2.5m and 7m, with the average being 4.97m in diameter. The heights of the surrounding walls vary between 0.3m and 1m, with the average being 0.69m. Eight of the huts have visible doorways and two have porches. Eight huts were partly excavated by the Dartmoor Exploration Committee during 1895. This work revealed that the floors were level, the upper part unpaved and formed by the subsoil, the lower part generally made up and paved. In several huts there was a stone hearth, generally associated with a cooking hole, many of which contained substantial pottery sherds. It has been suggested that at least some of the pottery is of Neolithic date, although recent work supports an Early Bronze Age date. Rounded cooking stones, many of them splintered by the action of the fire, were found in considerable numbers. Other artefacts recovered from the huts included coarsely chipped flint flakes and scrapers, a triangular polished stone and a broken spindle whorl. In the area west of the large agglomerate enclosure are at least three lengths of interconnected sinuous boundary banks forming a field system which links an isolated stone hut circle, a semi-oval enclosure and the agglomerate enclosure itself. The stone hut circle lies at the north east end of the boundary bank and includes a 1.7m wide and 0.9m high orthostatic wall surrounding an internal area measuring 4.7m in diameter. This hut was also excavated by the Dartmoor Exploration Committee who recovered a flint flake, but no other signs of human occupancy. The semi-oval enclosure is attached to the western edge of the field system, measures internally 45m north to south by 22m east to west and is defined by a rubble wall 1m wide and up to 0.8m high on three sides with the fourth being denoted by a river scarp. Three `D'-shaped stone structures are attached to the inner face of the eastern boundary wall. The northern structure measures 4m by 3m and is defined by a 1m wide and 0.4m high rubble wall. The central structure measures 9.7m by 4.6m and is defined by an orthostatic wall, 1m wide and 0.9m high. The southern structure measures 11m by 4m and is surrounded by a 1.2m wide and 0.5m high rubble wall. These structures are very different in character to the huts found within other enclosures at Legis Tor and may therefore not represent Bronze Age habitations. A small triangular shaped building attached to the outer face of the southern boundary wall measures 5m by 3m and has a gap in its north eastern wall which may represent a doorway. This structure is similar in character to some tinners' buildings found in Devon and Cornwall, and it may therefore be associated with the nearby tin streamwork. The only other prehistoric feature in the area west of the large agglomerate enclosure is a stone hut circle attached to a length of boundary wall which in turn partly underlies one of the agglomerate enclosure boundaries. This relationship strongly suggests the presence of a pre-agglomerate enclosure phase of settlement. The interior of the stone hut circle is oval in shape, measures 5.3m long by 3m wide, and is defined by a 1.7m wide wall standing up to 0.8m high. A gap in the outer wall facing SSW represents an original doorway. This hut was excavated by the Dartmoor Exploration Committee who recovered pottery sherds which are now considered to be of Early Bronze Age date. A length of boundary wall leads north east from the agglomerate enclosure to a small oval enclosure, which is the only example within the settlement containing no visible structures. The enclosure measures internally 25m east to west by 15m north to south and is defined by a rubble wall 1.2m wide and up to 0.6m high. In the area immediately east of the large agglomerate enclosure are a few lengths of field boundary and 11 stone hut circles. Nine of the huts are circular in plan, and the internal diameters of these huts vary between 2.1m and 9.5m, the average being 4.92m. The height of the surrounding walls varies between 0.3m and 1.4m, with the average being 0.55m. The remaining two huts are oval in plan, measure between 3.1m and 3.9m long by 1.9m and 2.9m wide, and are defined by 0.3m high walls. One hut has three annexes attached to its outer face, three of the huts are attached to boundary walls, two are attached to a small enclosure and three have visible doorways. In the area east of these stone hut circles are a group of three enclosures, six stone hut circles and a small `D'-shaped structure. The southern enclosure measures internally 60m east to west by 33m north to south and is defined by a rubble wall 2.5m wide and up to 0.9m high. The northern enclosure is attached to the northern side of the first, measures 66m east to west by 45m north to south and is defined by rubble walling. An arm of banking extending to the north west from the northern enclosure may represent the upper part of a third enclosure whose western and southern walls were either never completed or survive as buried features. Six stone hut circles composed of circular banks of stone and earth surrounding an internal area survive either within the enclosure or are attached to the walls. Five of the stone hut circles are circular in shape and their internal diameters vary between 2.3m and 6.3m, with the average being 4.74m. The height of the surrounding wall varies between 0.4m and 0.7m, with the average being 0.54m. The remaining hut is oval in shape, measures internally 3m long by 2.3m wide and is surrounded by a 1m wide and 0.35m high wall. The `D'-shaped structure survives as a semi-circular area measuring 10m by 7m defined by a curving 1.3m wide and 0.4m high rubble wall on one side and by the northern enclosure boundary on the other. The date and function of this structure is unclear. A solitary stone hut circle lying to the north of this group of enclosures measures 6m in diameter and is defined by a 2m wide wall standing up to 0.4m high. A further group of six unenclosed stone hut circles lies east of the enclosures. The internal diameters of these huts vary between 4.2m and 8.6m, with the average being 6.05m. The height of the surrounding walls varies between 0.3m and 0.8m, with the average being 0.6m. Two of the huts are two-roomed buildings and one has a visible doorway. A small kidney-shaped enclosure lies close to these huts and measures internally 52m north to south by 30m east to west and is defined by a 3m wide and 0.6m high rubble wall. Three stone hut circles are attached to this enclosure boundary, and they measure between 4m and 4.5m in diameter and are surrounded by walls standing between 0.6m and 0.8m high. Four unenclosed stone hut circles lie in the area east of this enclosure. These huts measure between 4m and 5.4m in diameter and are surrounded by walls standing between 0.4m and 0.9m high. Two of the huts have visible doorways and the third is attached to a forecourt and length of boundary bank. The easternmost enclosure at Legis Tor is sub-oval in shape, measures internally 100m north to south by 95m east to west and is defined by single walling of natural boulders except on the north side where it is of double walled construction. The walling averages 2m wide and 0.9m high and a gap in each of the western and southern sides may represent original entrances. Attached to the inner face of the enclosure boundary on the western side are two sub-rectangular yards with internal dimensions of 8m long by up to 7m wide. A third rectangular yard straddles the western boundary of the enclosure and this measures 11m long by 10m wide. A further sub-division of the enclosure survives within the north eastern part where a 40m long and 20m wide area is defined by a 1.2m wide and 0.3m high rubble bank. Three stone hut circles are attached to the enclosure boundary and a further two examples lie within the enclosed area. The internal diameters of these huts vary between 3.8m and 6.5m, with the average being 4.62m. The height of the surrounding walls varies between 0.4m and 0.5m, with the average being 0.44m. The final stone hut circle within the settlement lies a short distance from the eastern enclosure and is situated on a narrow terrace immediately above the River Plym. This hut measures 4.3m in diameter and the surrounding wall is 1.4m wide and 0.5m high. On the hillslope above the eastern part of the settlement are three round cairns. The perimeters of all three mounds are denoted in places by stones set on edge, which indicate the presence of kerbs which survive partly as buried features. The western mound measures 5.4m in diameter and stands up to 0.6m high. The central mound measures 6m in diameter and stands up to 0.3m high. The mound contains a cist orientated SSE to NNW which has both sideslabs and the northern end slab in place, giving a length of 0.9m, a width of 0.6m and a depth of 0.35m. The capstone is displaced to the south and is 1.2m by 1.5m and 0.25m in thickness. This cairn was examined by the Dartmoor Exploration Committee during 1895, but no artefacts were recovered. The eastern mound measures 4m in diameter and stands up to 0.6m high. It too contains a cist orientated north west to south east which measures 0.6m long by 0.5m wide and 0.4m deep. One side and one end of the cist are in situ, the other side slab has fallen and the other end and the capstone are missing. The rabbit warren at Legis Tor is sometimes called New Warren and may have operated jointly with Trowlesworthy Warren until recent times when it became an adjunct of Ditsworthy Warren. The name New Warren strongly suggests that there was an earlier warren on the site. Dating of the warren is difficult because there are no documentary references although it is generally accepted that the warren on the other side of the River Plym at Trowlesworthy had been established by 1292. A large proportion of the warren is included within this scheduling, with only a few outlying pillow mounds and vermin traps being included as part of other schedulings. The warren components lying within this scheduling include a series of seven enclosed areas containing pillow mounds and vermin traps. The pillow mounds survive as flat-topped, oblong-shaped mounds of soil and stone surrounded on at least three sides by the ditch from which material was quarried during the construction of the mound. Clearly defined shallow gullies lead from the lower end of many mounds. These have traditionally been interpreted as drainage ditches, but they may also have served as preferred access routes (or creeps) for rabbits and vermin. Traps placed within these gullies could have been used to control both rabbit and vermin populations. Most of the mounds lie with their long axis perpendicular to the hillslope. The vermin traps survive as `V'- or `X'-shaped gullies or walls which were specifically constructed to trap predators. Vermin approaching their quarry tend to seek a route that provides visual cover and the purpose of the trap was therefore to funnel the predators along the ditches or beside the wall towards a central point where they could be trapped. The north western warren enclosure at Legis Tor measures 133m north to south by 144m east to west, contains one pillow mound and is defined on the north and east sides by a 1.4m wide and 0.6m high bank with an external ditch measuring 1.3m wide and 0.6m deep. The southern edge is formed by the northern side of another warren enclosure and the western edge is formed by Legis Lake. The enclosure boundary probably did not prevent the rabbits moving into other areas of the warren, but would have provided protection against some predators. Vermin would have tended to approach the enclosure along the ditch and therefore could have been trapped more effectively within this confined area. The pillow mound within this enclosure survives as a 17.4m long, 5.6m wide and 1m high flat-topped, oblong-shaped mound of soil and stone surrounded by the 2.6m wide and 0.8m deep ditch from which material was quarried during the construction of the mound. A clearly defined shallow gully leads south west for 7m from the lower end of the mound. The large western rabbit enclosure at Legis Tor measures 375m long by 300m wide, contains 15 pillow mounds and one vermin trap and is defined on the north and east by a 1.6m wide and 0.7m high bank with an external ditch measuring 1.2m wide and 0.8m deep. The western and southern edges of the enclosure are formed by the Legis Lake and River Plym respectively. The pillow mounds within this enclosed area are between 12m and 42.9m long, between 4.6m and 7.3m wide and between 0.8m and 1.8m high. The average length of the mounds is 24.29m, the average width is 6.24m and the average height is 1.26m. The quarry ditches surrounding the mounds vary between 1m and 2.4m wide and between 0.2m and 0.7m in depth. The average width is 1.78m and the average depth is 0.53m. The vermin trap lies immediately to the north of the large prehistoric agglomerate enclosure and includes a `V'-shaped rubble wall with a narrow passage situated at the point. The eastern arm measures 4.4m long and the western arm is 2m long. A piece of slate found in the narrow passage probably represents part of the original shutter device for the trap. A single pillow mound lying immediately east of this large warren enclosure measures 10.4m long, 5.8m wide, 0.9m high and is surrounded by a 2m wide and 0.4m deep ditch. A third enclosure lies 50m to the east of this mound and survives as a 130m long by 80m wide area defined on the north, west and east sides by a 1.6m wide and 0.5m high bank with an external ditch measuring 1.2m wide and 0.6m deep. The solitary pillow mound lying within this area measures 16.4m long, 6.5m wide, 1.2m high and is surrounded by a 2.4m wide and 0.7m deep ditch. This enclosure may have been a breeding area in which rabbits were raised for the purpose of stocking outlying mounds. A second possible breeding area lies 10m to the east and includes a reused Bronze Age enclosure, measuring 80m by 60m in which a pillow mound and vermin trap were constructed. The pillow mound measures 27m long, 6.5m wide, 0.9m high and is surrounded by a 2m wide and 0.4m deep ditch. The vermin trap survives as a `V'-shaped ditch measuring 0.6m wide and 0.2m deep. The eastern arm measures 30m long and the western arm is 17m long. A slight bank representing material upcast during the construction of the trap, survives on either side of the ditch. This particular vermin trap would have provided cover for the rabbits living in the pillow mound from vermin approaching from the River Plym. The eastern part of the warren is dominated by three large enclosed areas. The first of these lies parallel with the river terrace of the Plym, measures 550m long by 150m wide, contains seven pillow mounds and four vermin traps, and is defined on the north and west by a 1.4m wide and 0.5m high bank with an external ditch measuring 1.2m wide and 0.7m deep. The eastern and southern edges of the enclosed area are formed by the River Plym. The pillow mounds within this enclosed area are between 12m and 25.9m long, between 5m and 7m long and between 0.25m and 1.3m high. The average length of the mounds is 19m, the average width is 6.4m and the average height is 1.08m. The quarry ditches surrounding the mounds are between 1.3m and 2.3m wide and between 0.1m and 0.6m deep. The average width is 1.88m and the average depth is 0.44m. The four vermin traps are confined to the southern part of the enclosed area. The western trap is situated between two stone hut circles and includes a `V'- shaped wall with a narrow 3m long passage situated at the point. The northern arm measures 6m long and the southern arm is 4m long. The second trap lies north west of the first and includes two `V'-shaped lengths of walling together forming an `X'-shaped trap with the narrow funnel trapping area situated in the centre of the feature. This structure utilises lengths of prehistoric enclosure walling in its construction, with only short lengths of new walling being required to form the trap. A length of ditch and bank leading from the rabbit enclosure boundary may have been designed to collect vermin from the hillside above this area. The third trap lies north east of the second and includes a `V'-shaped rubble wall with a narrow 2.5m long passage situated at the point. The northern arm measures 10m long and the southern is 5m long. The final trap within this enclosed area includes a `V'- shaped rubble wall with a narrow 1.5m long and 0.6m wide passage situated at the point. The two arms are both 8m long. The northernmost warren enclosure contains ten pillow mounds, measures 470m long by 180m wide and is defined on the north, west and south by a 1.8m wide and 0.7m high bank with an external ditch measuring 2.5m wide and 0.9m deep. The eastern edge of this enclosure is formed by the River Plym. The pillow mounds within this enclosed area are between 9.7m and 42m long, between 4.7m and 7m wide and between 0.7m and 2m high. The average length of the mounds is 19.82m, the average width is 5.82m and the average height is 1.16m. The quarry ditches surrounding the mounds vary between 1.3m and 4m wide and between 0.2m and 1.7m deep. The average width is 2.32m and the average depth is 0.77m. The final enclosed area contains six pillow mounds and is only partly enclosed, with the northern, eastern and part of the southern edges being formed by boundaries associated with other enclosures. The remaining length of the southern edge and part of the western edge is formed by a 200m length of ditch and bank. The pillow mounds within this partly enclosed area measure between 12.4m and 30m long, between 5m and 7.5m wide and between 0.6m, and 1.2m high. The average length of the mounds is 16.3m, the average width is 6.17 and the average height is 0.88m. The quarry ditches surrounding the mounds vary between 1.7m and 2.5m wide and between 0.2m and 0.7m deep. The average width is 2.1m and the average depth is 0.36m. Six pillow mounds, within the monument do not lie within enclosed areas. The western example survives as a 14.9m long, 4.7m wide and 1.1m high flat-topped mound surrounded by a 1.4m wide and 0.9m deep ditch. The remaining five mounds are clustered together and measure between 15m and 37.6m long, between 6m and 7.3m wide and between 1.2m and 1.4m high. The average length of the mounds is 23.22m, the average width is 6.7m and the average height is 1.28m. The quarry ditches surrounding the mounds vary between 2.1m and 2.4m wide and between 0.4m and 0.7m deep. The average width is 2.28m and the average depth is 0.5m. Two separate leats cut through the monument. The upper leat includes an 800m length of the Yeoland Consols leat which was constructed during the 19th century to serve the Yeoland Consols mine at Clearbrook, some 5km distant. The leat measures 1.7m wide by 0.7m deep and the associated bank upcast downslope during the cutting ofthe leat is 1.6m wide and 0.8m high. A number of granite slabs laid across the channel represent original footbridges. The leat cuts through a number of prehistoric enclosure walls, pillow mounds and other features associated with the rabbit warren. The second leat includes a 440m length of channel which measures 1.3m wide by 0.3m deep and the associated bank upcast during the cutting of the leat is 1.3m wide and 0.3m high. This leat was constructed and had fallen into disuse at some time before the building of at least some of the pillow mounds, since at least two of the mound quarries cut into the line of the channel. This leat was probably associated with alluvial streamworking within the Plym valley. A small area of alluvial streamworks are included within this scheduling. This part of the streamwork includes six parallel banks measuring 3m wide and 1.3m high. These banks represent waste material thrown systematically downstream into previously worked areas by tinners exploiting alluvial deposits. The alignment and shape of the mounds indicates that exploitation was carried out in an eastward direction and using only shovels to dispose of the waste gravel and stones. This area of streamworking underlies a later pillow mound. In the immediate vicinity of the streamworks are two buildings which have been identified as tinners' buildings. The westernmost building includes a two- roomed structure, terraced into the south facing scarp of the River Plym, and defined by 2m wide and 1.3m high rubble walls. The interior of the western room measures 4m square and contains a small, 1.9m long by 0.9m wide, stone lined compartment built against the south western corner. A gap in the western wall represents an original doorway. The interior of the eastern room measures 4m long by 3m wide. The second building is a single-roomed structure and is defined by a 1.2m wide and 1m high coursed wall. The interior of the room measures 3m long by 1.5m wide and a recess in the northern wall represents a fire place, whose lintel has collapsed into the room. A clearly defined doorway survives in the southern wall. Within the monument are three further structures which are considered to be associated with post-medieval exploitation of the area. All three structures are attached to the large prehistoric agglomerate enclosure. The first structure includes a building composed of rubble walling, 1m wide and 0.3m high, defining a rectangular interior measuring 7m long north to south by 5m wide east to west. The second structure is also attached to the agglomerate enclosure and includes a sub-rectangular interior measuring 9.5m long by 6m wide, defined by 1.8m wide and 1m high rubble walling. This structure has been identified as a possible animal pound or shelter. The final structure includes a 1.8m long and 1m wide compartment defined by a rubble wall standing up to 0.4m high. It is considered that this structure is a cache in which materials, tools or valuables would be hidden until required. This monument is surrounded on three sides by an alluvial tin streamwork which is not, however, included in the scheduling.
