Josephine Collingwood writes: “There are landscape features in northern Dartmoor that are bowl-like, such as that on the north end of Corn Ridge near Shelstone Tor. Previously thought of as ‘nivation hollows’ where snow accumulates and compacts, these are early stage glacial cirques of ‘corries’ where ice accumulated and scooped out the hillside further into an amphitheatre shaped hollow.”

At the original NGR there were two small granite rocks but neither, sadly, seemed to possess a benchmark, even after searching, so I decided to take a little wander to see if I could find any other rocks, and sure enough, close by and less than 10 or so metres from the NGR, I spotted a candidate. It was a very small slab but I pulled part of the mossy, grassy carpet back and voila! A benchmark! I was ecstatic.
Again, wonderful mud painting work by Fiona Rothwell! :o) MP
As has been already announced the Dartefacts website will soon become a paid subscription site. In order to thoroughly test this development we will need to pause the login system for approximately one week. Registered users will still be able to access the site during this test period, but they won’t be able to view or use registered user content (such as the ten figure ordnance survey grid references or tick visited Dartefacts and Squares etc.) Non-registered users will not notice any change.
Therefore ‘Test Week’ (login paused) will occur during the first week of April and Subscriptions begin on Monday 8th April.
