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.

Arbor Low Earthwork
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 28th Dec 2007
Arbor Low Earthwork submitted by AngieLake on 28th Dec 2007. This stone stands virtually alone in the large field surrounding Gib Hill. Here (freezing cold 16 Dec 07) Arbor Low henge lies at about 60-65 degs from the stone... possible to see Summer Solstice sun rising over the banks from this position, I guess??
Gib Hill is due south.

Arbor Low 1 submitted by AngieLake on 28th Dec 2007. If you can overlook the join in this compilation shot taken on a freezing afternoon of 16 Dec 07, you will see the southern causeway entrance to Arbor Low [above centre], the bumpy turmoil of the added barrow on the SE bank [left], the ditch [below], the raised central area of henge [right], and Gib Hill peeking over the distant bank [above the line of the causeway]. To the extreme right, against the darker furthest bank, the frosty form of one of the larger recumbent stones at the approx SW of...

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...

Merrivale Menhir submitted by AngieLake on 12th Oct 2004. Merrivale on the day before the official autumnal equinox last month. This is the tall standing stone that stands near the circle in the SW of the Merrivale complex. The sun had just set, I would say this was approximately 7.30pm.

Trowlesworthy
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Barrow Cemetery
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 14th Oct 2004
Ringmoor Down stone circle submitted by AngieLake on 14th Oct 2004. This stone - looking like an electric iron, poised for use, is almost opposite the other unusual stone in Ernar's Trowlesworthy circle. It does make you think that these were especially chosen for their shapes, and begs the questions, "Why?", and, "Were they in this actual position for a reason?""

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: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 24th Oct 2004
Kestor Settlement submitted by AngieLake on 24th Oct 2004. This old plan of Kes Tor hut circles and fields, includes the Round Pound. It appears that the line of parallel stones that theCaptain queried could be an old drove way. (Here referred to as 'Lower Drove Way'). In very small letters halfway up the right side of the plan, near the letter 'A', is 'Upper Drove Way'. The small print at the bottom of pic says: "Fig 2. General Plan of the Settlement at Kestor, by E.C.Curwen and R.Gurd, with additions. The field walls of the stippled areas are of...
