Fernworthy Cairn N
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 26th Jul 2014
Fernworthy Cairn N submitted by theCaptain on 26th Jul 2014. The cairn at the northern terminus of the northern stone row was until fairly recently covered by the forest, but this has now been cleared. Its not much to look at, but clearly defines the northern end of the row.
Its about 5 m in diameter with a couple of surrounding kerb stones, and what I suspect is one of the side stones to a central cist being the most obvious feature.

Boskednan Menhir 1
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 14th Oct 2014
Boskednan Menhir 1 submitted by theCaptain on 14th Oct 2014. From my dim memories, I thought that the menhir was somewhere between the stone circle and the cairns along the path towards Men-an-Tol.
On the way back I notice indeed there is a stump and perhaps a fallen stone right on the pathway where I was expecting it, is it remains of a pair?
Pipers perhaps?

Roughtor long cairn
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 18th Oct 2014
Roughtor long cairn submitted by theCaptain on 18th Oct 2014. Almost 500 metre long stone bank structure, 5 - 8 metres wide and with facing slabs lining its edges, on the northern slopes of Rough Tor. Originally thought to be a sort of boundary structure, an investigation by TimeTeam in 2007 showed it to be more of a cairn type feature.

Treburrick menhir
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 6th Dec 2014
Treburrick menhir submitted by theCaptain on 6th Dec 2014. On returning from the stone, there was a lovely old chap sat on the farm wall, wanting a chat. He told us that there used to be 5 stones standing around here. Of the other four, he said:
"One (upstream from the remaining stone) was pulled up by the new man in the farm over there when he moved in a few years back, don't know what he did that for, they do no harm, and I think they should be left where they be, its not for us to mess with these old things".
"One of them fell over, it was too b...

Gwallon Longstone
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 6th Dec 2014
Gwallon Longstone submitted by theCaptain on 6th Dec 2014. It was easy enough to walk along the public footpath surrounding the college grounds on the south side and see the stone from there, but not so simple to get a decent view because of the high fences.

Whitestone (Lee)
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 4th Jan 2015
Whitestone (Lee) submitted by theCaptain on 4th Jan 2015. I found a place to park and got out for a look, and there was the large white quartz stone, stood in the paddock just above the roadside.
It's probably about 8 to 10 feet tall, and cannot be seen from the nearby roadside due to the thick hedge, but it can be seen (in winter anyway) from further up the hillside

Woolacombe Memorial submitted by theCaptain on 4th Jan 2015.

Showery Tor Northwest Cairn 1 submitted by theCaptain on 11th Jan 2015. On the slopes of Showery Tor, above the top end of the long cairn structure, are remains of a few hut and round cairn structures.
I thought this to be the remains of a round cairn with cist.

Roughtor north
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 11th Jan 2015
Roughtor north submitted by theCaptain on 11th Jan 2015. My memory tells me that there are many round houses and enclosed farmsteads on the northern slopes of roughtor, many in a fine state of conservation, but until we were almost right down at the bottom there was little other than very damaged sites to be seen.
However, down low beside the river and many enclosed farmsteads with their round houses built into the walls can be seen.
I do believe I must have been spoiled by some of the much better preserved hut circles and farmsteads I hav...

Sölden menhir
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Austria
Visited: Yes on 20th Feb 2015
Sölden menhir submitted by theCaptain on 20th Feb 2015. Within central Sölden, there is a large stone of 3 to 4 metres height just standing there.
I have no idea as to whether this is an ancient menhir, but what else would it be doing here?
