Hound Tor - Deserted Medieval Settlement
An abandoned (probably deserted in the early 15C) , isolated settlement on the eastern edge of Dartmoor,
between the granite landmarks of Hound Tor and Greator Rocks.
The settlement consists of a cluster of at least four 13C stone longhouses.
Longhouses from Medieval times were built in such a way that the family lived at one end and the animals at the other.
