Shaugh Moor row submitted by thecaptain on 25th Aug 2008. It seems like most of the stones are still here, but they are not very big, and many of them are quite difficult to see under the grass and in the undergrowth.

Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 25th Jan 2009
Sticklepath stone circle submitted by thecaptain on 25th Jan 2009. While clearing the data off my gps receiver before a trip to the Alps, I found this track of a walk from Belstone to Cosdon Hill last September on there, which I had never got round to download.
This is the track of my walk out to try and find more about the possible stone circle I found several years ago.
My car was parked at Belstone, top left, crossed the river Taw, and followed my gps up the northwest slopes of Cosdon Hill. Once I got there, I went south to find, and thus rule out, the...

Buttern W
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 31st Mar 2010
Buttern W submitted by theCaptain on 31st Mar 2010. Is there anything left to see today of the possible remains of Buttern Hill (W) circle?
I saw a couple of slightly erect stones a bit further to the north of the main circle, on the far side of the valley. So I went for a look.
I found a couple of edge set stones, spaced about the same as the main circle, with other fallen stones and buried stones which could be considered to be a part of a circle, at position SX 6486 8855.
But I was not convinced.
