Historic Features

Photo of somebody carrying out archaeological works Boundary Stone Historic features are found all over Dartmoor and they are an important part of the cultural heritage, contributing greatly to its local distinctiveness and character. They include such things as gateposts, crosses and memorial stones or structures such as wells, ash houses and bee boles. Many of these may no longer be in use but in need to some attention to ensure their survival.

The National Park Authority may be able to offer grant or help in kind towards the repair or the restoration of these types of features. The amount of grant available will vary; those features in prominent public locations or which are of exceptional historic interest are likely to attract the higher rate of grant. For further details and an application form please see the Dartmoor Grant section of this website.
