This post shows some of the more well known examples of tethering rings that can be found on Northern Dartmoor. The author couldn’t find from his library of pictures further rings, known to be at Yes Tor, Hare Tor (possibly a flagpole tether) and Beardown Bridge. Once new photographs have been obtained for these, this post will be updated. The author has assumed for this post that “North Dartmoor” is anything north of the Moretonhampstead to Tavistock road
“In a green gully above the headmire, backed by a large black peat bank, tinners have worked, and a latter-day moorman¹ has driven a stake with tethering ring into the bank against a granite slab. – 1. Mr Reg Fuge of Brousentor Farm.”
