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!

The southern of this pair can be seen supporting the drystone wall, right.

Blackaton Down south (Hamel Down)

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).

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.

Robin Hood's Stride
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Rock Outcrop
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 22nd May 2005
Robin Hood's Stride submitted by AngieLake on 22nd May 2005. This stone caught my eye as I was climbing the east side of the hill towards Robin Hood's stride. (Following the footpath uphill, after parking in a slight layby beside the north/south road (Alport to Elton?) between Stanton Moor and Robin Hood's Stride.) The stone is well to the left of the path, over halfway up the hill. It looks as if it may have been used as a gatepost at some time.

Tolvan
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Holed Stone
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 5th Jun 2005
Tolvan submitted by AngieLake on 5th Jun 2005. The view through the hole in the Tolvan Stone at Tolvan Cross near Gweek. The sun shines through this one - orientated to approx WNW - on 9th June every year. This may not mean anything, as it was apparently moved to this site, in 1847, from the field to its east, where it possibly formed the entrance to a burial chamber. See site page for further details.

Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Oxfordshire)
Visited: Yes on 4th Jul 2005
Rollright Stones submitted by AngieLake on 4th Jul 2005. Rollright Monster??? This weird stone would look good in 'War of the Worlds'! On my first visit, I was stunned by the shapes of some of these gnarled and twisted stones. Here are two views of the tallest of the 'King's Men', taken after the Cotswold Pagans' ceremony on 19th June 2005.

King Arthur's Hall submitted by AngieLake on 15th Jul 2005.
Blessed by lovely weather, my visit to this strange site was enhanced by the cloud of fluffy white bog cotton dancing in the breeze. This view looks diagonally back towards the entrance gate, with Roughtor behind me in the distance, at 38degs from the largest pointed stone near to the camera. Note the way the two large pointed stones stick up on the 'west' side of the site. The tallest of these aligns at 109degs with Roughtor. It struck me how much the three of them (with a shorter one bet...

St Eval Church Stones
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 18th Jul 2005
St Eval Church Stones submitted by AngieLake on 18th Jul 2005. Another stone in the perimeter wall at St Eval in Cornwall. This one is approximately south of the south main door of the church. There are no less than six Green Men bosses on the ceiling inside the church. It is very atmospheric inside: you can't help but remember those brave young men who fought for our country in WW2.

Menevegar Menhir submitted by AngieLake on 18th Jul 2005. *The Longstone* plaque fixed on the side of this lovely stone, now almost hidden in the bushes, graces a central green at an old-persons' bungalow complex on the left of St Dennis Road as you leave the centre of the village of Roche.
Reads:*The Longstone. This stone, erected during the Bronze Age on the Longstone Downs, was removed to this site in August 1970*
