Holne Ridge 6 submitted by TheCaptain on 5th Oct 2010. Holne Ridge cairn 6, looking east.
This is a nice ring cairn about 12 metres diameter, with a clear ring of stones and rubble surrounding a flat platform within it. There seems to be remnants of a kerb in places.

Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 5th Oct 2010
Holne Ridge NE submitted by TheCaptain on 5th Oct 2010. I didn’t think I was going to be able to find this as the area it’s in is all covered by fern and bracken, but it was quite obvious once I got near. The cairn is well formed, about 7 metres in diameter about a metre tall with the expected hollow in the top.

Hook Lake Row submitted by SandyG on 4th Oct 2014. Dense molinia makes it difficult to photograph this row. This is the length approaching the prehistoric enclosure. The structure on the skyline is a prehistoric round house. View from south.

Horton Camp
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 29th Mar 2004
Horton Camp submitted by TheCaptain on 29th Mar 2004. Horton Camp Hillfort, South Gloucestershire, ST765845, March 2004.
View looking northwest along the remaining bank across the top of the hill. There is no sign of a ditch. The "inside" of the camp is to the left.
I may well be wrong, but I think that this bank may be a former internal division of what was once a much bigger camp taking in the entire promontary, not just the southern end.

Log Text: Walk from Hound Tor over the top and down to the deserted medieval village in a dip on the eastern side of the Tor. This started in the bronze age, but the remains to be seen these days are from the medieval period. The remains include several longhouses and other buildings which are really fascinating to wander around, trying to figure out what was what.

Log Text: Being such a beautiful day, I walk up to the top of Hound Tor before the sun goes down. Beautiful up here in the low sunlight. With views all around. I even climb up to the top of the bare granite rock tor, grazing my fingers on the rough stone in the process. I am a bit wary of being up here alone, and my legs are giving a bit of trouble getting down, but it was worth it. Didn't see much of an enclosure here, but wasn't looking for one to be honest.

Log Text: From the top of Hound Tor, I make my way south to look for the cairn and cist, but it is easy to find with obvious pathways leading to it. It is a splendid thing, about two thirds of a circle of contiguous surrounding stones with remains of a large cist box in the centre. I sit here for a fair while watching the sunlight fading on the Hound Tor rocks before heading back to the car.

Log Text: I had an hour or so to spare, but it was foggy on the moor so had to be careful where I went. Decided that having a look for the stones beside the road from Goathland was sensible, then maybe over to the roman road. A closer look at the Mega Portal map showed this (possible) stone circle fairly near, and not far from what appeared to be a decent path, so I gave it a go. Perhaps stupidly, as I had deemed it not far, I went without my bag, therefore no paper map or compass, relying on the phone app alone in the fog, something I would never have done in the past. Anyways, it was a decent track up to the top of the hill, so then came time to hunt for the stones, as seen on the portal. I proceeded across the open moor from the path to where marked on the portal map, but nothing. So call up the portal site page and see that the accuracy rating was not good, but that comments from JohndHunter did give a better reference. Now a fair distance from the track which would lead me back, and in very limited visibility, I was unsure of proceeding in case my battery went flat or I lost the signal, but my curiosity got the better of me, aided by the thought that all I needed to do was head back in the direction I had come, keeping the hill edge to my right and at some point I would get to the track. Anyways, all worked out just fine, and I found the stones as seen in the pictures. At first they just seemed like a jumble of mostly large stones laying on the ground, but then I got to a point where a good arc of stones could be made out, or maybe several arcs. A few of the stones were definitely once standing and set into the ground. Having seen the Bridestones, and in the past Commondale, I personally decided that this indeed could once have been a stone circle. The fog was getting thicker, not aided by it starting to get dark, so I decided to head back, across the moor to the track and then back down to the car, all in taking about an hour. All was good, and I had a real feeling of achievement, so went for a well deserved pint at the Mallyan Spout Hotel.

Drive to Housesteads, bus to The Sill, then walk up to the trig point on Winshield Crag before walking eastwards along Hadrians wall back to Housesteads Fort, having lunch at Sycamore Gap. A long look round Housesteads Fort with its large colourful artwork gatehouse created for the 1900 years celebrations, fabulous latrines and a decent little museum.

Log Text: A day on Hadrians Wall. Drive to Housesteads to park, and before catching the bus to The Sill, have a look at the prominent barrow just the other side of the road. The fog is starting to lift now, thank goodness.
