Knaves Ash barrow
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Hampshire)
Visited: Yes on 17th Jul 2007
Knaves Ash barrow submitted by JimChampion on 17th Jul 2007. Close-up of the modern boundary stone set into the summit of the barrow mound. It has some letters and a date (19th century?) carved into it, but they have been weathered. There are several other boundary stones on the parish boundary between here and Lugden Barrow about 2 km to the south. The boundary is not just between the parishes of Burley and Ringwood, but also defines the old 'perambulation' of the Royal forest.

Wayland's Smithy submitted by JimChampion on 31st Dec 2004. December 2004. This barrow has a somewhat sinister air, surrounded by leafless trees on a gloomy winter's day. The barrow itself is remarkably long, as can be seen in this photo, and is flanked by small upright stones.

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Oxfordshire)
Visited: Yes on 7th May 2005
King Stone at the Rollrights submitted by JimChampion on 7th May 2005. February 2005. The King Stone in all its majestic curviness on a bright cold morning, shot through the railings from a low angle. So close that this pic is in fact a composite from two separate images: the software's so good there's just no way of spotting the join. Amazing.

Ham Hill stone circle submitted by JimChampion on 22nd Aug 2005. The modern stone circle is surrounded by the old quarry's spoil heaps - this view, looking west, is from on top of one of these heaps. My umbrella-wielding assistant gives an idea of the scale, and an indication of the weather conditions.
