Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Yorkshire (North))
Visited: Yes on 7th Dec 2007
High Bridestones (Yorks) submitted by JimChampion on 7th Dec 2007. August 2007. The High Bridestones, on the moor. Just one of the megaliths is still standing, with small change firmly wedged into its many crevices. A megalithic shambles indeed. The heather in bloom says that it is summer, although the temperature (and wind) on this day was more like winter!

Wardstone Barrow
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 31st Dec 2007
Wardstone Barrow submitted by JimChampion on 31st Dec 2007. Looking north towards the Wardstone Barrow. The track on the right leads to Chideock Farm, and is a permissive footpath. There was originally another barrow in the field to the right, but it is destroyed. Presumably the wooden posts around this one mark the limit of the scheduled ancient monument.
It was a very grey and dull Christmas Eve, this was the only decent photo that I took of the site!

Site Type: Barrow Cemetery
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 3rd Jan 2008
Chaldon Down submitted by JimChampion on 3rd Jan 2008. Christmas Eve 2007. Looking to the north-east towards the bowl barrow at grid reference SY78318125. This barrow is 14 metres in diameter and up to 1 metre in height, although it has been truncated on its northern side by the construction of a small covered reservoir. The barrow is on the very highest point of Chaldon Down, with views over the sea to the south and the heaths to the north. It is also hard to ignore the concrete Ordnance Survey triangulation pillar on top of the barrow mound.
