Hart Tor Target Stone. - Dartmoor Granite on Waymarking.com

The first first prisoners arrived at Dartmoor Prison in 1809. Over 5,000 prisoners were secured in the prison guarded by a battalion of solders, about 600 men, who, in addition to their guarding duties, would have maintained their military skills on Dartmoor and practiced musketry on the Hart Tor Firing Range.
This mound and marker stone is where the target used to be, along the hillside towards Princetown are the distant marker stones engraved with the distance from the target.

Ordnance Survey map reference (10 figure) if within DNP – If outside the Park, add N/A: Not listed
