Log Text: Did pretty much the whole Avebury tour with Dad and Rachael. Drove up the avenue from the Sanctury, and parked in the NH car park. Walked around the whole henge, and visited the internal circles. I'd forgotten quite how massive and wonderful Avebury is, even with a lot of people here

Log Text: Having failed to get dinner at The Barge Inn, we got sandwiches in Marlborough, and then went and sat up on top of WKLB to eat them in the lovely sunshine, overlooking Silbury Hill and Avebury. Its lovely up here. But, there are always nutters about, banging drums, dowsing, tealights etc. What a shame the place has to put up with this.

The fence helps to give a good idea off the size of the remaining bank and external ditch.

Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 29th Jun 2011
Barrow House Farm Long Barrow submitted by TheCaptain on 29th Jun 2011. Just to the west of the A39, on the top of the hill just before it descends southwards into Chewton Mendip, there are some lumps and bumps which can be seen in the field.
It looks to be two or three round barrows with a fairly large long barrow in between them.

Pool Farm Cist
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Rock Art
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Jun 2011
Pool Farm Cist submitted by TheCaptain on 23rd Jun 2011. I was walking through the field with the public footpath through it, when I heard a commotion and looked around to see about 50 bullocks running over to me, snorting and grunting as they ran.
Rather quickly, I legged it to the nearest gate, and fairly quickly vaulted it (remarkably so for a 50 year old with a still damaged shoulder)!
I guess they were only curious, but as I walked along the adjoining field they kept following me, and would not go away. Trip to Pool Farm Cist abandoned...

Cheriton Ridge Boundary stones
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Modern Stone Circle etc
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 1st Apr 2011
Cheriton Ridge Boundary stones submitted by TheCaptain on 1st Apr 2011. These two lovely old standing stones are each about 5 feet tall, and look very gnarled. However, they are not prehistoric, although many hundreds of years old.
If you are out on this part of Exmoor, do go and have a look at them - they are far more impressive and beautiful than any of the remaining prehistoric stone setting stones to be found in the vicinity!

Cheriton Ridge ring cairn
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Ring Cairn
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 28th Mar 2011
Cheriton Ridge ring cairn submitted by TheCaptain on 28th Mar 2011. Approaching from the north, what looks like a stone (which I first assumed must be a sheep) can clearly be seen down by the saddle of the ridge, with some darker heather around it.
As approaching nearer to this, and it can be seen that it is indeed a stone, with a few other smaller stones standing nearby.

Farley Water stones submitted by TheCaptain on 9th Mar 2011. “Standing Stones” are marked on the OS map, but I could find nothing obvious.
What a lovely spot it is down here, well protected from any winds, and with a few trees growing in a little flat grassy area beside the babbling stream.
