Log Text: Craddock Moor Stone Circle is not Stonehenge. This shy and retiring stone circle can only be seen at close quarters due to all of its stones being recumbent. It is nonetheless a significant monument in an area rich in ancient archaeology.

Log Text: With so many random stones scattered on Kilmar Tor, one could easily walk past this stone setting. I'm leaning towards the man-made monument rather than natural stone arrangement.

Log Text: I have conducted an extensive survey of the Bronze Age cairns on Caradon Hill on multiple visits, Some of the cairns are obvious due to their substantial remains. Other cairns are difficult to locate due to the rough moorland they are located in and their poor state of preservation. I found 10 cairns on my first visit to Caradon Hill. When I visited Historic England online to check the details of the cairns I discovered the extent of the cairn cemetery. Using Historic England as a guide I resolved to track down each of the 19 cairns listed on the site. My initial visit was on 23.02.23 and fourth (final) visit on 08.06.23. I have numbered the cairns I to XIX from N-S and E-W by location.

Log Text: I have spent more time than I care to recall wandering Twelve Men's Moor searching for cairns. It is a particularly frustrating experience rewarded by the discovery of an occasional cist and cairn.
