Dartmoor Beehive Huts

Sunday 11 December 2011

The Beehive Huts of Dartmoor were igloo-shaped buildings of corbelled drystone walling that resembled the old-fashioned styled beehives and were used as a store or shelter.

Lade Hill Beehive (SX 639 814)

One of the best-preserved examples of a Beehive Hut can be found beside Lade Hill Brook just before it meets the East Dart River.

Holwell Tor Beehive (SX 751 777)

The Beehive at Holwell Tor quarry does not appear on the OS Map and is virtually a complete building. I suspect that is was built around the same time that Holwell Tor was quarried – circa 1820.
