Grimspound, Devon
It has been estimated that some 2000 prehistoric sites can be found on Dartmoor. Of these, the most impressive is the Bronze Age settlement of Grimspound. This eerie setting was the model for the prehistoric hut in which Sherlock Holmes spent the night in The Hound of the Baskervilles.
A massive stone wall, some 9 feet thick, encompasses a 4 acre site containing 24 circular huts. Eighteen of these huts were excavated in the late 19th century, and 13 of these were found to have evidence of human habitation. |
