Drizzlecombe cist 21 submitted by thecaptain on 20th Jan 2008. Drizzlecombe cist 21 is a splendid box cist, found further up the Drizzlecombe valley from the main sites, on the eastern side of the stream.
The remains of the tin workings in this picture should give some clues for finding it.

Visited: Yes on 18th Mar 2008
Chapman Down Barrow submitted by thecaptain on 18th Mar 2008. This large round barrow on the southeastern slopes of Chapman Down has a large slice cut through to the middle, rather than the usual hole in the top.
View here to the southeast, with the steep valley down towards Challacombe seen, where the Longstone stands at the top of. It can be seen on a better res version of the picture, about 2/3 from the left below the skyline.

Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 19th Mar 2008
Woodbarrow (Exmoor) submitted by thecaptain on 19th Mar 2008. This is another large round barrow high up on Exmoor which is still in a good condition, although a very well used trackway runs past it just to its eastern side.
As usual it has been dug into from the top, there is a very marsh and boggy remains of a ditch running around the outside.

Woodbarrow Hangings
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 19th Mar 2008
Woodbarrow Hangings submitted by thecaptain on 19th Mar 2008. Somewhere here is a stone setting, which is a rarity that merits a mention on the little local maps which are attached to several of the gates around here.
I had a very good look around but could find nothing at all. Either it is all well hidden under the long reed grass which is growing all around here, or perhaps has all been broken and destroyed like many other Exmoor stone settings.

Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 21st Apr 2008
Woodbarrow Stone Setting submitted by thecaptain on 21st Apr 2008. It is possible that what I found is the remains of two rows, or perhaps even the remains of an Exmoor six-pack, the two rows being about 7 metres apart.
One fallen stone in the foreground, another leaning stone is in the clump of long growth mid picture.

Gutter Tor north
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 10th Jun 2008
Gutter Tor north submitted by thecaptain on 10th Jun 2008. Right beside the road at SX574672 are the remains of a fairly large cairn, about 22 metres in diameter.
However, this cairn has been well and truly messed around with, no doubt going to make up the road and the nearby walls. In fact, it is perhaps surprising there is anything left of it at all.
