The Round Pound
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 24th Oct 2004
The Round Pound submitted by AngieLake on 24th Oct 2004. This shows the layout of the Round Pound at Kestor. Underneath, the caption reads: 'Fig.6. General Plan of Round Pound. Prehistoric constructions are shaded, mediaeval are white.' Therefore, it would appear that the four 'radial walls' and the 'small hut' in the outer circle, and the semi-circular 'shelter' in the inner circle, are mediaeval. This leaves the double-walled inner and outer circles to be interpreted as 'prehistoric'. The writing at very top of plan says: "Entrance to pou...

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...

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.

Temple Wood S submitted by AngieLake on 12th Nov 2005. Temple Wood on a sunny day in 2002. The central cist below, and all the stone arrangements immediately around it looked too neat, somehow. Just part of an amazing area of megalithic sites running SSW/NNE through the Kilmartin Glen in Argyll.

Sueno's Stone
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Class III Pictish Cross Slab
Country: Scotland (Moray)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Nov 2004
Sueno's Stone submitted by AngieLake on 2nd Nov 2004. Defenders preparing for a footie penalty shot?! ... These amusing little figures can be seen on the huge Pictish 'Sueno stone', sheltered inside its glass case at Forres. A shame that the glass reflected the light. Taken 5th July 2001.
This Class III stone is one of the finest examples of Dark Age sculptures in Europe. It has been suggested that the enormous and intricate carving shows the coronation of Kenneth Mac Alpin. If so, it would have been erected in the 9th century to inform the P...
