Visited: Yes
Nine Stones (Belstone) submitted by TheCaptain on 27th Apr 2004. Belstone Nine Stones, Belstone Common, Devon SX612928.
A nice neat little stone circle on the moors below Belstone Tor on the common to the south of the village of Belstone, Devon. This circle is almost certainly the remains of a round burial cairn, and traces of the burial chamber can be seen within the circle.
This is a view looking north

Treslea Cross
Date Added: 7th Mar 2012
Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
Treslea Cross submitted by Thorgrim on 5th Nov 2004. Crosses seem to be very much a continuation of the tradition of standing stones. They were placed as way marks on pilgrims' ways, as boundary markers showing the limits of ecclesiastical land and as places of open air worship. This directly parallels what we know of the purpose of standing stones. Treslea Cross stands at the junction of three lanes near Bodmin.

The Hurlers Pipers submitted by JimChampion on 24th Aug 2007. View through the 'goalposts' of the Pipers, neatly framing Stowe's Hill in the distance (home of the Cheesewring natural rock feature and the neolithic enclosure of Stowe's Pound). These two stones stand to the west of the Hurlers stone circles. The dung in the foreground is from the ponies that graze the moor.

Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
Merry Maidens (Circle) submitted by JimChampion on 27th Oct 2006. August 2005. The Merry Maidens under fluffy white clouds. I rediscovered this photo and selectively manipulated the contrast so that you can now see the stones (previously they were too dark). I've uploaded a similar photo to Wikimedia Commons - they need pictures of ancient sites for use on free sites like Wikipedia.

Our Lady of Nance
Date Added: 7th Dec 2011
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
Our Lady of Nance submitted by theendlessbreeze on 11th Jun 2004. Grid Ref: SW870604
Location: Near Mountjoy, Cornwall
As in the case of many holy wells, this one was difficult to find!
From Newquay take the A392 to St Columb Road, past Quintrell Downs and then take the turning to the left just before Mountjoy to Lady Nance. Follow this road and take the first turning to the right down a lane. Here you will find a collection of cottages.
The well is located in some undergrowth just off the lane, to the right of the first house you see.

Padstow Cross submitted by Thorgrim on 4th Nov 2004. Like so many ancient crosses, this one has been re-shafted. Cast down after the Reformation, the crosses were broken, tossed into hedges or built into walls. The shafts made excellent gateposts or door lintels.

St Stephen's Well
Date Added: 16th Nov 2011
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
St Stephen's Well submitted by KiwiBetsy on 15th Oct 2006. When we visited the water level in the interior of the wellhouse was not high enough to flow over the low part in the front. The old collegiate church in Launceston was consecrated by Bishop Bronescombe in 1259 and dedicated to St Stephen. The current St Stephen’s Church stands about half a mile to the east of the well. Very little seems to be known about the well but it does sit up a very pretty and peaceful lane.
