Fice's Well
Date Added: 12th Sep 2017
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 6th Sep 2017. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 3
Fice's Well submitted by KiwiBetsy on 23rd Sep 2006. The well stands surrounded by a low stone wall which was built by convicts (it’s only a very short distance to the prison) in the 19th century. We found Fice’s Well on a very murky Dartmoor day and were probably lucky not to suffer the same fate as John Fitz and his wife. One day they were riding on the moor when the piskies conjured up a thick, impenetrable mist which resulted in the couple being hopelessly lost. For hours they rode in circles unable to find their way off the moor. The ...

Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Would like to visit
Cut Hill Stone Row submitted by Andy B on 10th Apr 2010. Granite Stone Row
Here is the roof of Dartmoor, from the top you can see right all across Dartmoor. In the picture is a piece of granite probably Megalithic in age and is in a series of stones running along the top of this hill. This row is unique within Dartmoor as it the only one with equal spacing within the row and above 600m, 100m above any other row in Dartmoor. The peat has washed away from around the stone but not from underneath, meaning the granite sticks out above the ground.

The Polisher (Fyfield Down)
Date Added: 16th Jun 2017
Site Type: Polissoir
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 15th Jun 2017. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 4 Access 2
The Polisher (Fyfield Down) submitted by Thorgrim on 3rd Aug 2004. SU128715
The Polisher is a sarsen stone on Fyfield Down and is in close proximity to a settlement of the "Beaker Folk". Used to polish stone axes, it is not easy to find and has become something of a Holy Grail to Megaraks.
This photograph gives significant clues to its location - the triangular stone and the lone tree are pointers. There is another pointer nearby which makes finding the Polisher a certainty, but I am not going to divulge that. I searched on three separate occasions and o...
