ROB ABLY no other tract of land of the same extent in England contains such numerous and well-preserved remains of prehistoric antiquity as Dartmoor. The curious feature about them is that they all belong to one period, that of the Early Bronze, when flint was used abundantly, but metal was known, and bronze was costly and valued as gold is now. Not a trace has been found so far of the peoples who intervened between these primitive occupants and the mediaeval tin-miners. If iron was introduced a couple of centuries before the Christian era, how is it that the British inhabitants who used iron and had it in abundance have left no mark of their occupancy of Dartmoor? It can be accounted for only on the supposition that they did not value it. The woods had been thinnedand they preferred the lowlands, whereas in the earlier period the dense forests that clothed thecountry were too close a jungle and too much infested by wolves to be suitable for the habitation of a pastoral people. That under the Roman domination the tin was worked on the moor there is no evidence to show.
