Thanks for the link: interesting. Now the question is: what subtype?
heath=upland perhaps?

I am not sure that all the areas that I modified were all "upland",
although I suppose pretty well all of Dartmoor is high.

I agree that  moor doesn't add anything: indeed it was intended to
remove incorrect information on my original narrow understanding of
"heath".
