Craddock Moor circle
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Sep 2009
Craddock Moor circle submitted by thecaptain on 22nd Sep 2009. gps track plot of my wanderings round Craddock Moor stone circle on Sunday. Many of the stones can be seen in the picture.
I use an ageing Garmin etrex Venture pocket reciever, and the track is plotted out using GPSVisualizer, with only a few minutes fiddling.
I find it amazing the results that can now be obtained for things like this, using cheap, readily available technology, in a pocketsized device.

Tregarrick Tor cairn
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 21st Oct 2009
Tregarrick Tor cairn submitted by thecaptain on 21st Oct 2009. The southern outcrop of Tregarrick Tor, with its "tor cairn" built up to it on the right hand slopes, and also the strange stone setting type arrangement in the foreground.
Is it part of a cairn internal structure or perhaps a separate stone setting of some kind.

Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Oct 2009
Minions Platform Round Barrow submitted by thecaptain on 22nd Oct 2009. The platform cairn marked on OS Maps as "Minions Mound".
In reality it is not the round barrow of that name which gave its name to the village, which was previously known as "Cheesewring Railway".

Visited: Yes on 24th Oct 2009
Rillaton Barrow submitted by thecaptain on 24th Oct 2009. The chamber is halfway up the eastern side, in a separate depression of its own, and cannot be seen as you pass, so I suspect most people who pass this way do not realise it is there.

Looking for a way through proved futile.

Quebec ice dolmen

Site Type: Modern Stone Circle etc
Country: Canada
Visited: Yes on 22nd Dec 2009
Quebec ice dolmen submitted by theCaptain on 22nd Dec 2009. Each year in February, the wonderful city of Québec holds a massive winter carnival, the Carnaval de Québec. Among the many events and festivities is an ice sculpture competition, with entries from around the whole world.
The year I visited, 1989, amongst all of the various ice carvngs and sculptures, there was a massive ice dolmen, made I believe by some Breton people. I could not of course, pass it by without taking a photograph.
