Historic sites to visit

These sites are either in public ownership or are accessible on public rights of way or via permanent permissive paths and access land. However, you are advised to use an Ordnance Survey Map (Outdoor Leisure 9 - Exmoor) and 'The Field Archaeology of Exmoor' (by H Riley and R Wilson-North, published by English Heritage, 2001). Both are available from National Park Centres and local outlets. Please be aware that many archaeological sites on Exmoor are on private land. When in doubt you should always seek permission.
