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...

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.

Gwal y Filiast submitted by paulcall on 4th Jan 2007. Photo taken in 1996 before the tree was taken down down in front of the outlying stone. It is such a wonderful place that I make no excuses for submitting this old picture.

Penmaen Burrows
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (West Glamorgan)
Visited: Yes on 1st Dec 2006
Penmaen Burrows submitted by paulcall on 1st Dec 2006. Found 400metres down a track south-east from Penmaen village towards Threecliff Bay. It is quite ruined, and not mentioned in the otherwise comprehensive 'The Ancient Stones of Wales' by Chris barber and John Williams. However, it is marked clearly on O.S. map 159, but I found it surprisingly tricky to find when I visited.

Country: England (Isles of Scilly)
Visited: Yes on 1st Dec 2006
White Island submitted by paulcall on 1st Dec 2006. A view of White island from Top Rock Carn on St Martins, showing the hazardous isthmus between the two. Very low tides would be needed to get on and off the island to give enough to time to see the monuments which are mainly at the far end.

Visited: Yes on 28th Nov 2006
Mulfra Quoit submitted by paulcall on 28th Nov 2006. A more distant view of the quoit situated right on the top of the hill. The climb up to see it after heavy rain was 'unpleasant'.
