Site Type: Misc. Earthwork
Country: England (Hampshire)

Stockbridge Down field boundary submitted by JimChampion on 25th Jan 2005. January 2005. Looking north-east along the bivallate field boundary on Stockbridge down. The earthworks curve to the left, and the south-facing ramparts of Woolbury hillfort can be seen in the distance. The earthworks are well preserved but difficult to photograph, especially on this dim rainy winter afternoon.

St Joseph's Well
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 12th Aug 2006
St Joseph's Well submitted by JimChampion on 12th Aug 2006. Just to show that there really is no other angle on this well... I now realise that if I'd turned the camera the other way the flash would have been less intense on the near (left) portion of the arch. Live and learn. Apparently when the well was baled out during an investigation in 1991 they found hundreds of coins dated 1960 and later, which presumably shows when tourist numbers increased dramatically.

Shirley Holms submitted by JimChampion on 13th Mar 2005. Looking north at one of the bowl barrows in this group of four. In the foreground is a circle about 20m in diameter, worn into the chalky ground. The circle is striking but not pre-historic: most likely to be some kind of pony training circuit.

The earthworks are noticeable on this open expanse of heathland, but not easy to photograph. Here the low winter sun casts shadows that make the ditch and outer bank visible, and also the mutilated central mound with its covering of burnt gorse bushes.
