Help Dartmoor National Park Archaeologists and Rangers look after prehistoric stone rows in a day of conservation work on Friday 27 February 2015.

Dartmoor’s landscape is among the richest in western Europe in terms of its archaeological remains.  Dartmoor contains the longest stone row in the world and has the greatest number of archaeological sites out of all the UK National Parks. In fact 60% of all stone rows to be found in England are on Dartmoor.

All of this takes some looking after and we hope that you will find the time to help us. The work will involve clearing scrub from stone rows using hand tools. The site at Glasscombe is particularly unusual as it is a multiple stone row consisting of seven alignments of stones.

Last year a goup of volunteers, Rangers and archaeologists spent a weekend working at this site, making a real difference to the conservation of these remains. We are now continuing this important work. Please dress for the outdoors in winter and bring food and drink.

Tools and gloves are provided.

Conservation work is a great way to experience the outdoors, get healthy exercise and help look after the environment. You will learn more about working as a Ranger and about Dartmoor’s internationally important archaeology and all FREE of charge.
