East Okement River in Dartmoor – prehistoric hillfort

In woodland on the banks of the East Okement River in Dartmoor there is a prehistoric hillfort.

Walking around this I found a very old wall covered in moss, which followed the contours of the ground.

Light penetrating the canopy picked out the top of the wall as well as some of the trees’ twisted branches.

No birds called: the only sound was from the water rushing downhill in a stream nearby, full following recent heavy rain.
