TheCaptain: It looks like there is remains of an inner ring here too... 13. TheCaptain: This is great Paul. There is so much more of it to be seen than when I visited in June last year.

TheCaptain: Dont forget that the sands move around also, sometimes covering more timbers than at other times. I visited twice in about 4 days last June, and it looked very different both times with the amount tha... 19. Bladup: Both photo's are of the same site (I've just visited myself, It's a mindblowing site/place), The tide been out more in this image makes it look different and the land in front of the circle in this ph... 20. Andy B: Hello Peulven, thanks for posting, do you know what is happening here?... 21. Shanart: My question about these is, apart from the fact that they don't have the two added exras which have been called breasts, what marks them out as being male? Shan... 22. Andy B: Thanks very much for the photos! Site page needed, could you contact Johnstone with the details.... 23. cavers35: Thanks peulven worth the hike... 24. peulven: superb !... 25. markj99: SpaceTravellor, I have seen a cup mark surrounded by radial striations. I interpreted this as light emanating from the sun. If I can remember where I saw it I could send you the photo. Mark... 26. markj99: Thanks for your interesting theory, SpaceTravellor. I also think it is related to our view of the cosmos.... 27. Blingo_von_Trumpenstein: a mighty monument returned. well done sir... 28.

Anne T: You are quite correct, TheCaptain! I'll rename this photo and create a site page for it. It is recorded in Historic England catalogue. We only have 2 other clapper bridges recorded on the Portal (t... 44. TheCaptain: Looks like Bellever to me. We dont have, and not sure why we would have, sitepages for mediæval bridges! Although it is quite megalithic in parts of the construction... 45. Anne T: Picked up on the Ivey Clapper Bridge site page, but simply labelled 'A Dartmoor Clapper Bridge'.

Bladup: Yes it's different to the other photo's of the site on here but (In my opinion) not in a good way, Why couldn't you add the photo and write up in the normal way like you have with the other images you... 79. wildtalents: Lazy?

We shouldn't be going down this route. ... 82.
