Crownhill Down Dartmoor National Park Devon, Ridding Down, behind is an area of quite rare lowland heath - some of which will be covered by waste from the new Drakelands (Hemerdon) Tungsten (and tin) Mine. In 1842 the area was described as Reddown Waste, relatively undisturbed as not being part of the clay works. Also known as Crownhill Down, it has Bronze Age barrows, excavated recently to reveal Beaker pottery and stone tools dated to 2200 BC. Also, bronze axe heads dated to 1300 BC. Some cairns are thought to delineate medieval tin workings and field clearance stones
