Headland Warren boundary stone near Headland Warren Farm
Grid ref: SX 6952 8162
On walking routes: Two Moors Way
This boundary stone lies on the high moor northeast of Headland Warren Farm, part of the network of markers that defined medieval and later land divisions across Dartmoor. Such stones served practical purposes, marking the edges of enclosed warrens where rabbits were managed as a food resource, and the limits of common grazing rights and ownership.
Today the stone stands among the rough grassland and heather, a modest but enduring record of how people have organized and used this landscape. It forms part of Dartmoor's wider pattern of archaeological features, from prehistoric monuments to the field systems and boundaries that shaped the moor over centuries.
