Pool Farm Cist
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Rock Art
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Jun 2011
Pool Farm Cist submitted by TheCaptain on 23rd Jun 2011. I was walking through the field with the public footpath through it, when I heard a commotion and looked around to see about 50 bullocks running over to me, snorting and grunting as they ran.
Rather quickly, I legged it to the nearest gate, and fairly quickly vaulted it (remarkably so for a 50 year old with a still damaged shoulder)!
I guess they were only curious, but as I walked along the adjoining field they kept following me, and would not go away. Trip to Pool Farm Cist abandoned...

Barrow House Farm Long Barrow submitted by TheCaptain on 29th Jun 2011. Just to the west of the A39, on the top of the hill just before it descends southwards into Chewton Mendip, there are some lumps and bumps which can be seen in the field.
It looks to be two or three round barrows with a fairly large long barrow in between them.

The fence helps to give a good idea off the size of the remaining bank and external ditch.

Priddy Circles N
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Henge
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 25th Oct 2011
Priddy Circles N submitted by theCaptain on 25th Oct 2011. Priddy Northern circle, June 2011.
Seen here looking west from the B3134, it is quite difficult to make the circle out, but it is mostly to be seen. Look over the three foreground fences, then you see lumps and bumps of the eastern arc. The next wall and fence cut the circle pretty much in half, and the western arc is quite clear beyond that as it is where all the dark bushes are growing.

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Normandie:Calvados (14))
Visited: Yes on 7th Nov 2011
Grosse Pierre de la Bergerie submitted by theCaptain on 7th Nov 2011. Tried to visit this stone while driving on a different ferry route from Le Havre to my Sisters's, and drove to a place to the south where some tracks are marked on the map which would lead to the orchard. However, once we got to the orchard, we found it had been newly and securely fenced, with no way in.
