Hambledon Hill hillfort

Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 12th Oct 2005
Hambledon Hill hillfort submitted by AngieLake on 12th Oct 2005. A composite picture of Hambledon Hill, taken from the SE of the hillfort.
(Excuse the difference in tone!)
Sadly, I didn't have time to explore and cattle were roaming freely in its central area, but it was thrilling to see the well-preserved ramparts.

Grimspound
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 5th Nov 2005
Grimspound submitted by AngieLake on 5th Nov 2005. A confused time-traveller fumbles out through the huge portalled gateway of Grimspound settlement on Dartmoor. Will he be swallowed by the mist before he reaches his machine!?? (Will Angie get rapped on the knuckles for posting another gateway picture??) This inside-outside view (the lower pic is looking uphill towards Hameldown Tor - 529m at SE - from inside the protecting walls), gives an idea of the scale of it. Behind our intrepid hero (a 6ft human being from the 21st century, by the na...

Trecastle Mountain ENE
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 6th Nov 2005
Trecastle Mountain ENE submitted by AngieLake on 6th Nov 2005. This stone is the same one featured on this site page by SEM, when he explains how nearby stones seem to form an avenue leading to the main circle at Y Pigwn. Dowsing, when SEM showed me the area at the end of July, confirmed this. This stone (seen here looking across the NW avenue route towards NE) actually dowsed as the left-hand one of a pair of huge portals at the beginning of flatter ground on which the circle stands. The other huge stone used to stand near the tussock of grass above it i...

Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 6th Nov 2005
Grey Mare and her Colts submitted by AngieLake on 6th Nov 2005. The fallen stone of the facade of Grey Mare and Her Colts, with field gate not too far away for escape route when the cows come running, as they did when I visited! In the distance there are several hillforts. I managed a visit to one - Eggardon - later that day in May.

Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Henge
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 6th Nov 2005
Knowlton Rings submitted by AngieLake on 6th Nov 2005. This area of the henge seemed very mystical, probably an original entrance between the two yew trees when the church was in use?

Corringdon Ball Tomb
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 6th Nov 2005
Corringdon Ball Tomb submitted by AngieLake on 6th Nov 2005. Corringdon Ball long barrow looking approximately NE - East. In the far right of the pic are the two pillars of Ball Gate (as marked on the OS map). A footpath runs NW-SE down that lane, around the curve of Corringdon Ball hill. If you trace a line NW from South Brent on the OS map, you will find it.

Creeg Tol
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Rock Outcrop
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Mar 2004
Creeg Tol submitted by AngieLake on 22nd Mar 2004. Creeg Tol - Barrow Hole"- (SW411277) a small, possibly modern circle (if old, would have maybe been a cairn circle). NW of Boscawen Un, just off the footpath on the way back to the main road layby- (Not towards farm!) . Tucked away amongst the bracken, below large rocks with unusually shaped basins ("The Giant's Footprints"). Boscawen Un is clearly seen from the tops of these towards the SE. The tallest stone is only about 2ft high, and there is a smallish white quartz stone at 260 deg.

St Seiriol's Well submitted by AngieLake on 5th Aug 2004. I visited this lovely well on 9th May 2003, almost at the end of two wonderful days spent touring the megaliths of Anglesey. It was a really peaceful place, with beautiful views and picturesque buildings.

Men Scryfa

Site Type: Early Christian Sculptured Stone
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 19th Aug 2004
Men Scryfa submitted by AngieLake on 19th Aug 2004. Angie at Men Scryfa - approx 2.30pm on 9th March 2004.
(I am 5'4" for comparison.) The carved Roman letters were reasonably clear then. In the distance is the amusingly-named 'Ding Dong' mine, and behind me, the wall bordering the lane between the stile-access to Men an Tol and the open moorland leading to Boskednan (Nine Maidens) circle. Because the lane can get very muddy in this area, the boots were very welcome!
All the fields around here are bordered with walls of stones that looked as...

The Longstone (Shovel Down)
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 14th Sep 2004
The Longstone (Shovel Down) submitted by AngieLake on 14th Sep 2004. This lovely megalith is known as The Longstone and stands on the eastern slopes of Shovel Down at SX660857. A north/south avenue leads directly to it. Kes Tor, seen in the background, is NE of the Longstone. There are numerous stone rows in the vicinity, and Scorhill circle is not far away to the northeast.
According to Richard Cavendish's book 'Prehistoric England' (Artus Books, Orion Publishing 1983):
"SW of Kes Tor, on Shovel Down, SX660860, are stone rows leading to burial cairns and a 10...

Derreenataggart
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Ireland (Republic of) (Co. Cork)
Visited: Yes on 16th Sep 2004
Derreenataggart submitted by AngieLake on 16th Sep 2004. Here's another view of the circle near Castletownbere, on the Beara Peninsula in West Cork. The spelling on the brown pointer notice board at the site was 'Derrintaggart West', but in the Discovery Map series it is referred to as Derreenataggart. It is a beautiful site that I hope to return to one day: one of the hundreds of megalithic sites that litter the Beara Peninsula.
