The Paper was presented in August at the Association’s July 1894 South Molton meeting. It is for the genealogist, a treasury of names associated with the earliest research into our county’s unique Prehistory. Broadun Ring is a prehistoric settlement near Princetown containing about 12 hut circles. The compound was investigated in 1893 when ten of the huts were excavated. The author, Robert Burnard was an eminent writer and photographer who established the Dartmoor Preservation Association (DPA) in 1883. In 1887 he published his first paper on Dartmoor’s antiquities. A page dedicated to Mr Burnard, with portraits, is available here. A copy of his obituary is available here. He was Association President in 1911. The Paper, from a copy of a rare journal can be downloaded from the Internet Archive. Google has sponsored the digitisation of books from several libraries.
