Visited: Yes on 25th Sep 2008
Dunchraigaig Cairn submitted by AngieLake on 25th Sep 2008. Walked past this one on the way to Ballymeanoch monuments in 2002. Maybe it suffers from lack of interest because of visitors' urge to see the other site?

Mardon Down N
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 21st Nov 2008
Mardon Down N submitted by AngieLake on 21st Nov 2008. Mardon Down Cairn Circle (N) on the lower northern slopes of the ridge, overlooking the rest of Devon. As a guide, Cheriton Bishop, on the A30, would be in the distance here.
To access this site, keep going north on a narrower track when by Giant's Grave, instead of following the main ridgeway path. As seen here, the track then heads away diagonally to the right, and rejoins the main ridgeway track, going downhill towards the menhir 'Headless Cross'.

Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 21st Nov 2008
The Giant's Grave Mardon Down submitted by AngieLake on 21st Nov 2008. Believe it or not, this bumpy mass of vegetation, left, is the Giant's Grave. You can see how the [rather wet!] ridgeway track skirts around it on the highest part of Mardon Down.
Looking approx south here, with the other smaller cairn just behind it to the south.

Mardon Down Cairn 3
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 21st Nov 2008
Mardon Down Cairn 3 submitted by AngieLake on 21st Nov 2008. Flat topped Cairn 3 on Mardon Down, with a small stone still present in its outer ring, helping to maintain the shape. The "shallow trench into the centre" runs diagonally here from the right of the stone, into the centre.
My friend [top left] is standing further north by the ridgeway track, and to her right is the disappointing Giant's Grave.
