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.

The cairn at the top of the northern rows is about 9m in diameter, and is surrounded by a lovely ring of 15 stone slabs. It is possible that there is another ring of stones still present within the cairn.
This is the view to the west, looking down the double row.

Drizzlecombe cairn 13
Date Added: 19th May 2017
Site Type: Cist
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 17th May 2017. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 2
Drizzlecombe cairn 13 submitted by Brian Byng on 7th Feb 2002. View looking east of the large cist at Drizzlecombe which Burl claims has a row running in an Easterly direction in line with the tilted slab. I looked very carefully & found no sign of such a row. None of my references mention such a row & I have asked around those who should know - again without success. I think this is another of Burls iffy sites.

It was once thought to be an iron age hillfort, but study of the structures has shown it to be a Neolithic enclosure, adapted over the millennia.
