The Devil's Bed and Bolster
Trip No.16 Entry No.4 Date Added: 24th Jun 2020
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes
The Devil's Bed and Bolster submitted by JimChampion on 18th Apr 2007. In the foreground are the stones that presumably formed part of the end chamber in the tomb. Beyond are the stones at the entrance. The cut logs show that there has been some clearance of woody plants from the remains of the barrow mound. Signs on a nearby fencepost indicate that this barrow is alongside a 'conservation walk' - a phrase usually used for a permissive path around an area of natural/historical interest. Thankfully there weren't too many nettles beneath these trees - I was wearing s...

Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes
Roundhill Barrow submitted by Iain_P on 24th May 2017. Here's a simulation (= not very scientific, manipulated Photoshopped image!) showing the barrow without the trees, bushes and knee-deep vegetation. Actually, purely by accident, it fits quite well with the dimensions and description given on the Heritage England listing:
"circular in plan, measuring about 21m in diameter, and survives to a height of approximately 1.7m, with steep sloping sides descending from a level area on the summit which measures 10m across." (List Entry Number: 1013521)

Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes
Stoney Littleton submitted by TheCaptain on 18th Mar 2005. Stoney Littleton barrow viewed from the west.
Its a cracking little barrow, with the most wonderful passage and chambers inside, and the powers that be have even left a decent sized area around it free of any farming activity. A lovely sunny day, but some of the walk to the barrow was horrendously muddy.
The fields around the barrow had recently been ploughed, a crop of beet of some sort having been the last grown. While walking back after my visit, I found a bit of the lovely golden colou...

Stronach Standing Stone submitted by valters_grivins on 25th Oct 2010. Arran primary school standing stone. It was the first megalith we saw in our Arran trip. I guess moving litter bin some 10 meters away from the stone would be good option... October 2nd, 2010.
