A high ridge on Dartmoor may have been used by Stone Age hunters to spot prey.
Archaeologists investigating a ridge of high ground on Dartmoor believe they may have found a Stone Age viewpoint for spotting prey.
More than 80 flints - possibly 8,000 years old - were recovered during excavations on a farm near the village of Lustleigh.This is the third time experts have investigated the area. "The site poses interesting archaeological questions about how and why people used the landscape in a period about which little is currently known on Dartmoor," said Dr Lee Bray from Dartmoor National Park Authority.
"It is located on a ridge between the high moors to the West and the Wrey Valley immediately to the east. "The location may have provided hunter-gatherers with a good vantage point from which to observe game moving through the landscape."
