Prehistoric ceremonial complex discovered in Dartmoor reservoir
 9 Nov 2009

A hitherto unrecorded prehistoric complex has recently been revealed in the mud at the bottom of Tottiford reservoir, near Hennock, on Dartmoor. The complex consisting of stone rows, burial cairns and a stone circle had been hidden by the waters of the reservoir, the first to be built on Dartmoor (1861). They have been revealed due to water levels being temporarily lowered by South West Water to only 6 per cent capacity.
First to spot the significance of the site was Mike Miller, from nearby Moretonhampstead. He contacted Jane Marchand, archaeologist with Dartmoor National Park Authority, reporting that he had found 2 stone rows and some burial cairns. Further visits to Tottiford confirmed these findings and also led to the discovery of a large stone circle, measuring 22 metres in diameter.
