Smitten Corner

Smitten Corner submitted by JimChampion on 24th Dec 2006. The two large barrows at Smitten Corner, from the inland coastal footpath. These barrows are easy to spot from the road from Martinstown to the Hardy Monument, and there is a gravel layby close by (next to the Forestry Commission's "Blackdown" sign). This view is from the other side of the barrows, walking along the footpath along the ridgeway from Upwey.

Visited: Yes on 28th Dec 2006

Bishops Limekiln Car Park

Bishops Limekiln Car Park submitted by JimChampion on 28th Dec 2006. I know nothing about this stone other than the fact it is listed here. I've often driven past the car park and wondered. Stopped off and found it under a tree in the car park. To emphasise the car parkiness of it, my filthy vehicle is visible on the right.

Maumbury Rings

Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Henge Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 28th Dec 2006

Maumbury Rings

Maumbury Rings submitted by JimChampion on 28th Dec 2006. A low viewpoint makes the eastern side of the henge entrance look a bit Silbury-like. Very overcast and not a good day for taking pictures of this large grassy earthwork. The size of the bank is not a good indication of its original height - it was greatly added to when the Romans converted the henge into an amphitheatre.

Hengistbury Head

Hengistbury Head submitted by JimChampion on 21st Jan 2007. Two-photo composite of the double dykes, viewed from the beach end (rather than the Christchurch harbour end). The ditch has filled in somewhat in the intervening 2000 years. The dykes are now fenced off to reduce wear and tear from visitors' feet. There are some new information boards around the site as well.

Cley Hill submitted by JimChampion on 16th Apr 2007. A three-photo composite of Cley Hill, from "Little Cley Hill" to the northeast, connected to the main hill by a saddle. This is an impressive piece of geomorphology, a chalk outlier of Salisbury Plain, with some human-added trimmings (the ramparts, lynchets and barrows).

Grey Mare Processional Way

Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 17th Apr 2007

Grey Mare Processional Way

Grey Mare Processional Way submitted by JimChampion on 17th Apr 2007. June 2006. This stone lies alongside the footpath that approaches the Kingston Russell stone circle from the southeast, grid reference is approximately SY582873. It is possibly also called the "Goddess stone" (by Peter Knight) - this once is certainly moss covered. It would be easy to miss it in summer when the nettles etc. are high.

The Devil's Bed and Bolster

The Devil's Bed and Bolster submitted by JimChampion on 18th Apr 2007. Stones at what was presumably the entrance to the chambered tomb. They seem to have a faintly pink hue in this photo - they were partially illuminated by camera flash in the shade of the trees. Seen on the Portal meet 15 April 2007, thanks to Hamish's directions and TheCaptain's keen observations.
