Blackaton Down south (Hamel Down)
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Apr 2007
Blackaton Down south (Hamel Down) submitted by AngieLake on 22nd Apr 2007. The long shadow across the centre of pic is the ditch - the best I could do with photographing the 'Concave barrow' or cairn on Hamel Down. Also known as Blackaton Down north cairns. Silhouetted left is the outline of Bowl Barrow (Blackaton Down north cairn) and if you look closely, Two Barrows (south) is just visible in the far corner of the field.
(Follow line of wall on right).

Nine Stones (Belstone)
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 9th Sep 2007
Nine Stones (Belstone) submitted by AngieLake on 9th Sep 2007. Excuse the poor quality of this compilation pic, but it shows the circle, the river, and to the right, the long stone lying outside the north arc of the circle.
Butler thinks that the full complement of stones are probably present and that this 1.75m fallen slab once stood erect in the single socket hole adjacent to it. He writes that: "The curious arrangement of close-set slabs on the north-west side and the rest being irregularly spaced around the circumference seems to have been the orig...

Merrivale
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 12th Sep 2007
Merrivale submitted by AngieLake on 12th Sep 2007. To link in with the Captain's recent pics of Merrivale, Langstone Moor, etc, this is the amazing rock formation of Great Staple Tor in close-up, taken from the north west(-ish), [lower pic] and across the rear of the 'portals' [top].
You can see how the Ancients might have revered this natural stone 'doorway': it is still enthralling today. Perhaps they thought that their 'gods' watched them through its portals on Great Staple Tor, and that is why they positioned their monuments around it?

Visited: Yes on 23rd Oct 2007
Spinsters' Rock submitted by AngieLake on 23rd Oct 2007. When a friend and I visited on 8th October we spent most of the afternoon here, and to begin with it was very sunny. I liked the way the underside of the capstone is lit up here.
Two things NOT to do: Don't picnic, and don't feed this pony - he may bite! (see site page for more).
