Anwick Drake Stones submitted by Andy B on 2nd Apr 2010. The Drake Stones
Two lumps of Spilsby sandstone by the gate to St.Edith’s church known as “The Drake Stones” … actually a glacial erratic, but with a considerably more interesting Lincolnshire folk tale explanation.

Cut Hill Stone Row
Date Added: 17th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 10th Apr 2010
Cut Hill Stone Row submitted by Andy B on 10th Apr 2010. Cut Hill is in North Dartmoor. It is one of the most isolated places of Dartmoor. The panoramic views from the summit are among the best that Dartmoor offers. Cut Hill is largely surrounded by wet and tussocky ground. The high fen is not far away. The word Cut derives from an old drovers' track - Cut Lane - which cuts through the fen that separates the Dart and Tavy valleys and thus allowed the more easy passage of livestock across the moor.
