Udal (Grenitote) submitted by Creative Commons on 13th Apr 2012. Wheelhouse at Udal
This is a well-preserved example of an iron age wheelhouse. It was dug partly into the ground. Central stone partitions, like the spokes of a wheel, divided the house into sections.
ScotlandsPlaces says that there is evidence of continuous occupation from Neolithic times to the post-medieval period.

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.

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)
