Join us for a guided walk and talk through the largest Bronze Age settlement in the UK and associated Ritual Complex. We'll explore the stone rows, cairn, cistvaen, standing stone, field systems, pounds and hut circles all within a 2 mile radius at Shoveldown in the shadow of Kestor. Dartmoor's Daughter is collaborating with Lee Bray, Head of Archaeology for the Dartmoor National Park Authority to bring you insights into the lives of our neolithic, bronze age, and iron age, and medieval ancestors.
