The Stone Circles of Northern Dartmoor

A Bow & District Historical Society event.

When: to October
Where:Bow Village Hall, Station Rd, Bow, Crediton EX17 6HU
Who:Alan Endacott

Alan Endacott was born on a traditional Dartmoor Farm, founder Curator of The Dartmoor Museum of Country Life in Okehampton, former acting chairman of The Dartmoor Society and an archaeologist. We will hear how Alan found Sittaford Stone Circle in 2007 and more recently, unearthed two more stone circles near Taw Marsh, Belstone and carried out excavations on them in 2024. We will learn of Alan’s theory of a “sacred ring” of stone circles around the central uplands of northern Dartmoor which challenges previous understandings of the Dartmoor circles as isolated monuments
