Geocache Description:

One of a short trail of caches taking you to the most significant archaeological sites around Bellever



Bellever is situated in the very heart of Dartmoor and encompasses an impressive and well preserved Bronze Age landscape which is well over 3,500 years old. It contains ceremonial and burial sites and a variety of settlements.

This short series of caches takes you on a tour of several of these features, which are all listed as Ancient Monuments. The main caches are multis which have virtual waypoints at many of these features. Mainly, you just have to count the number of stones which make up the stone circles and stone rows, etc and from these you can calculate the final cache coordinates. All the caches are sited away from these Ancient Monuments so that there is absolutely no danger of any interference with them.

All caches placed with the kind permission of the Dartmoor National Park Authority and the Forestry Commission.

The Kraps Ring cache has 1 physical stage and 2 virtual stages. The physical stage is at the published coordinates (Stage 1) and the 2 virtual stages are listed as Stage 2 and Stage 3.

Stage 1 - There is a small cache here which will give you partial coordinates for the final cache

Stage 2 - There is the remains of a large roundhouse here. What is the number of the information post? Answer = A

Stage 3 - There is the remains of a smaller roundhouse here. What is the number of the information post? Answer = B
