West Lanyon Quoit
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 7th Jan 2007
West Lanyon Quoit submitted by paulcall on 7th Jan 2007. This is in such a delapidated state that I felt it was hardly worth the effort to visit. It is hardly recognisable as a tomb at all.

Bevis Thumb
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (West Sussex)
Visited: Yes on 14th Jan 2007
Bevis Thumb submitted by paulcall on 14th Jan 2007. This long barrow lies just south of a minor road north-east of Compton village. It lies on an east-west axis, and the road cuts into the barrow slightly at the eastern end. It is named after a giant, Bevis of Hampton, who is said to have been able to walk between Southampton and the Isle of Wight without getting his head wet. The barrow is about 50m long by 15m wide, and the fortuitously-parked car in the foreground gives some idea of its size. The barrow is also known as Solomon's Thumb or Bave...

Barkhale
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Causewayed Enclosure
Country: England (West Sussex)
Visited: Yes on 8th Feb 2007
Barkhale submitted by paulcall on 8th Feb 2007. As at the Trundle nearby, the neolithic causewayed camp here is hardly visible. There is a faint elevation (seen in the centre) in a field used for animals. All the surrounding fields are arable and ploughing would eradicate this site very quickly.

Long Down Flint Mines
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Ancient Mine, Quarry or other Industry
Country: England (West Sussex)
Visited: Yes on 8th Feb 2007
Long Down Flint Mines submitted by paulcall on 8th Feb 2007. At the map reference given by Vicky in her origin post of this site there is copse used by humans for feeding pheasants, and by rabbits as a warren. The copse is surrounded by an arable field and there is a mass of loose flint on the surface of the ground. If it was like this in the neolithic no actual mining would need to have been done to collect the flint. There is no evidence on the ground of any depressions that might indicate mining activity.
