Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 30th Apr 2007
Cow Castle submitted by AngieLake on 30th Apr 2007. Cow Castle from the base of the Calf, the smaller conical hill. You can see the well-worn footpath leading to the fortification. It was a bit cloudy when I got there (about 5.30pm last Weds.), but the sun obliged by coming out later on.

Blackaton Down north (Hamel Down)
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Apr 2007
Blackaton Down north (Hamel Down) submitted by AngieLake on 22nd Apr 2007. The first Bowl Barrow approached from the south along Hamel Down's ridge. Also known (Butler) as Blackaton Down north cairn. Here it looks quite imposing, but is nowhere near as large as the higher Broad Barrow. The scattered sheep's bones in the foreground gave the scene a rather macabre ambience!

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).

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Wiltshire)

Cuckoo Stone (Wiltshire) submitted by AngieLake on 10th Dec 2006. A twin shot of the western end of the Cuckoo Stone near Larkhill on 5th December. In the top close-up pic you might notice a round indentation at bottom right of stone, behind a tuft of grass. Don't know if this is significant, or just man's damage.
This was taken around 3pm, looking towards Woodhenge.

Visited: Yes on 12th Nov 2006
Churchyard Cross St Levan submitted by AngieLake on 12th Nov 2006. Looking down onto the entrance of St Levan's churchyard from the ancient church path. The back of the little round cross is just visible in the top left corner of this photo. You can see the rare coffin rest in the centre of the entrance, and one of the granite 'settles' (there's also one on the opposite side). I expect the bearers, who'd often walked several miles, were glad to sit here and get their breath back before carrying their late friend into church! You can also see the granite 'ca...
