Log Text: King Arthur's Hall is unique in my experience. It is one of the most unusual monuments I have ever visited. Henges and pounds are normally round. The isolated location amplifies the special vibe exuded by this exceptional place.

Log Text: I spent a pleasant afternoon wandering Trehudreth Downs. I was successfully searching for cairns but also stumbled on this short stone row running WSW-ENE. The stones were low lying and difficult to locate in rough moorland. Upon consulting my GPS I noted that this was the W end of a long stone row. At the time I couldn't locate its remaining portion. The Stone Rows of Great Britain includes Trehudreth Down. Stone 19 (SX 12464 72955) and Stone 13 (SX 12499 72967) gives the full range of the stones I found.

Log Text: I parked at the Temple/A30 Junction to visit Trehudtreth Downs via Greenbarrow Downs. There are multiple sites to visit in this area. Trehudreth Downs C Stone Setting is located c. 40 yards E of Trehudreth Downs W Cairn. The stone is obscured by a gorse bush as viewed from the cairn. The three stone appear to form a shallow arc. It is an intriguing site prompting more questions than answers.

Log Text: The stone circles are easy to find but difficult to interpret. I was able to get a reasonable grasp of the site after wandering around for half an hour. The SE Circle is more intangible than the NW Circle. The S Arc of recumbent stones adjacent to the stone wall are the key to interpreting the circle.

Log Text: Not for the first time, I was hypnotised by a stone circle and failed to recognise a nearby cairn. I did observe the mound from a distance but failed to investigate it. A Beginner's Error!
