Map
Grimspound is a late Bronze Age settlement located on Dartmoor close to Plymouth in Devon. A low stone wall surrounds the site, and there are twenty four separate hut circles that mark where the original dwellings once stood. Reverend Richard Polwhele is acredited as naming the site in 1797, thought to be derived from the Anglo Saxon god of war, Grim. The property is now managed by English Heritage and there is a wealth of information on-site that explains more about the history.
