Sancreed Well
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Sep 2006
Sancreed Well submitted by JimChampion on 2nd Sep 2006. There are now two paths to Sancreed Well, this is the end of the older path which approaches from the southeast. The shiny iron railings are part of the landscaping work that took place in the late 19th century when the well and chapel were 'rediscovered' by the vicar of Sancreed. I supposed the remoteness of this site meant that the railings weren't taken for the "War effort" as in so many other places in the U.K. Behind the ferns is a large rectangular moulded fragment of a doorway which has ...

Pudding Barrow
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Hampshire)
Visited: Yes on 8th Jan 2005
Pudding Barrow submitted by JimChampion on 8th Jan 2005. January 2005. Looking south towards the Pudding Barrow. The new fence and barrier is clearly visible. The campsite is closed to vehicles in winter, but many walkers and cyclists passing by, and even one person on a scrambler motorbike. Presumably the fence is a deterrent to wheeled enthusiasts.

Prospidnick Menhir submitted by JimChampion on 15th Aug 2007. Looking towards the south-west at the Long Stone (or Prospidnick Menhir). The stone is illuminated by evening sunshine through a convenient break in the clouds. The last few miles to this spot involved an interesting drive down very narrow Cornish lanes.

Poundbury
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 5th Jun 2005
Poundbury submitted by JimChampion on 5th Jun 2005. Looking south across the Frome valley at the ramparts of Poundbury hillfort. You can see its rectangular perimeter in this composite picture - no wonder the Romans liked the site. Parts of modern Dorchester can be seen poking out e.g. the keep-like military museum is on the left. (The line in the sky is a power cable that I couldn't get away from).

Portheras Barrow submitted by JimChampion on 24th Oct 2007. August 2007. The Portheras Barrow is somewhat overgrown with gorse - the mound is under there somewhere. The stone cist's capstone is visible, otherwise it would have been very difficult to find.

Huge numbers of lumps and bumps are visible, as well as the depressions of long-gone round barrows (in the foreground and on the opposite hillside). The busy A35 road is hidden in the valley.

Pimperne Long Barrow
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 9th Apr 2005
Pimperne Long Barrow submitted by JimChampion on 9th Apr 2005. April 2005. Looking NW at the Pimperne Long Barrow from the A354 roadside. If you are travelling towards Blandford Forum then the barrow is very conspicuous on the right hand side of the road: imagine how eye-catching it was when it was newly built (circa 3000 BCE) and white with chalk.

Pentridge 3

Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 9th Apr 2005
Pentridge 3 submitted by JimChampion on 9th Apr 2005. April 2005. This long barrow, aligned on the NE terminal of the Dorset Cursus, has been almost ploughed out of existence. It is just visible as a very low mound occupying the centre of the photograph between the two pairs of tractor ruts. The bank on the left of the photo is the Romano-British Bokerley Dyke, which currently defines the Hampshire/Dorset boundary.

Pentridge 2 submitted by JimChampion on 31st Mar 2005. March 2005. Composite image of the Pentridge 2 long barrow(s) looking south-west from the bank of Bokerley Dyke. This is a looooong barrow, with its SE end disappearing off the edge of the photo. The site of the Dorset Cursus' north-eastern terminal is just to the right of this picture, although it was not noticeable in the young wheat.
