Harpur's Downs are real central and focal point for this moorland area

This location nestles near to Roughtor, and is an ideal setting as from Harpur's Downs, you can access the Moorland Way and enter the open countryside of Dinnever Hill. This area is famous for its many stone circles, with over 150 in the area, and it is easy to spot the old rocks protruding through the moorland grass. Walking east leads you towards Roughtor Moor, Brown Willy and Stannon Down. Numerous cairns are sited on Stannon Down, mostly in clusters, and there are four small upright stones to the north-west of the circle that appear to be part of an alignment through Stannon towards the Louden circle. A number of straight alignments have been identified between circles and other monuments in this area; a line from Stannon circle via Fernacre circle passes close to the large cairn on the northern summit of Brown Willy. A line from Roughtor’s northern summit through Fernacre circle passes through the cairn cemeteries and natural tor on the summit of Garrow Hill. |
