Cosdon Hill Cairn Circle
Date Added: 23rd Aug 2016
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Would like to visit
Cosdon Hill Cairn Circle submitted by TheCaptain on 10th Jun 2004. Cosdon Hill Cairn Circle, Dartmoor, Devon SX643916
On a flatter shelf of land on the eastern side of Cosdon Hill are the splendid remains of a cairn and treble stone row.
The remains of the cairn at the uphill end of the rows is approx 8 metres in diameter, and has been substantially messed about with. Despite this, there are the clear remains of a double cist in the centre of the cairn, the downhill one of which still has its capstone largely in place. Several stones also remain in place...

White Moor Stone submitted by TheCaptain on 12th Jun 2004. White Moor Stone, Dartmoor, Devon SX634895
150 metres southeast of White Moor Stone Circle is the Whit Moor Stone, which is more than 5 feet in height, and has been adapted as a parish boundary stone, with its parish marks cut into it. This stone is almost certainly much older than just a boundary stone, and is likely to be associated in some way with the circle.

White Moor Down submitted by TheCaptain on 12th Jun 2004. White Moor Down Stone Circle, Dartmoor, Devon SX634896
This is a truly lovely stone circle, situated on a flat saddle of land between Little Hound Tor and Hound Tor, miles away from any signs of modern life in the middle of the desolate moor, and there are views for miles around in almost all directions from the site. There are 18 remaining stones of a probable nineteen arranged fairly evenly, in a circle of diameter 20 metres. The stones are arranged flat side inwards, and vary in height bet...

Cosdon Hill Summit Cairns submitted by TheCaptain on 9th Jun 2004. Cosdon Hill Summit Cairns, Dartmoor, Devon SX636915 to SX637917
The remains of five cairns can clearly be found at the summit of Cosdon Hill, approximately following the ridge of the hill in a north-south manner.
The fifth cairn at the north of the hill is a very impressive beast. This cairn must be nearly complete except for a small depression within the centre. The outer edges of the cairn are nicely held in place by a ring of large stone slabs, and within the cairn structure itself can...

Cosdon Hill Multiple Stone Rows
Date Added: 23rd Aug 2016
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Devon)

Cosdon Hill Multiple Stone Rows submitted by TheCaptain on 10th Jun 2004. Cosdon Hill Multiple Stone Rows, Dartmoor, Devon SX643917
The three parallel rows run off down the hillside from the cairn in an easterly direction, for a distance of at least 140 metres. Each of the rows has a large slab placed across the rows at its end by the cairn. The rows are not straight, and curve slightly south and then to the north down the hill.
A smashing place to while away some time.

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
