SACRED LANDSCAPES – NATURAL FORMATIONS

AND OUR RELATIONSHIP TO THEM

Indigenous people around the world consider sacred, the mountains, rivers, springs, and other natural features. Perhaps the extraordinary tors of Dartmoor were similarly revered before the building of stone circles and rows. We will explore the different shapes of tors, the stories associated with them, as well as the monuments that were built around them, some of which still exist to this day including Tor-enclosed Cairns (burial chambers); Neolithic Tor Enclosures which may have been used for excarnation; and deliberately Propped Stones.
