This well known 'residence' has over the centuries become a familiar landmark for those travelling across the dome comprising of Kit Hill, Stat's House Hill and Maish Hill (now marked on the OS map as Winney's Down). In fact the tracks leading to Stat's House are now that well defined that they can be seen on Google Earth from an altitude of 10,915ft. So what is Stat's House? Today Stat's House is but a small ruin whose walls stand to about 1m high, which in Dartmoor terms is not bad. The only purpose it serves is a meagre shelter in bad weather and a handy lunch-stop fro hungry ramblers.
