Visited: Yes on 5th Oct 2010
Holne Ridge 2 submitted by TheCaptain on 5th Oct 2010. Holne Ridge cairn 2 looking west.
I didn’t think I was going to be able to find this as the area it’s in is all covered by fern and bracken, but it was quite obvious once I got near.

Holne Ridge 5 submitted by TheCaptain on 5th Oct 2010. Holne Ridge cairn 5.
This is a fairly large and prominent round cairn, about 14 metres diameter and 1.5 metres tall. However, I wasn't going to look too closely, as there were some stroppy looking guard cows staring me down!

Pierre Longue de Saint-Jouan submitted by TheCaptain on 17th Oct 2010. Despite the menhir being so big, it still manages to play a game of hide and seek before finding it along chestnut lined trackways through fields of maize!

Mont Dol is a large granite rock outcrop, dramatically jutting up through the flat coastal marshlands of the Baie de Mont St-Michel to the north of the ancient city of Dol-de-Bretagne, and in some ways is rather like Mont St-Michel itself, although nowadays completely enclosed within farmed lands.

Bowda Stone Circle

Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 4th Dec 2010
Bowda Stone Circle submitted by TheCaptain on 4th Dec 2010. I had never heard of a stone circle here until I saw the Pastscape entry here, so thought I’d better go and have a look.
Certainly there are a couple of large side set slabs standing on edge here, with others fallen and laying about which could conceivably be remnants of a stone circle.

Site Type: Ring Cairn
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 5th Dec 2010

Pictures cannot do this ring cairn any justice.
View looking southeast towards Trewortha Tor.

East Moor stone B submitted by TheCaptain on 6th Dec 2010. Less than 50 metres to the west of the round cairn can be seen a stone standing proud of the moor, so I went for a look.
It is clearly an edge set stone positioned here, 2 feet tall, 3 feet wide and having lost its top.
