Yellowmead submitted by thecaptain on 30th Jul 2004. Yellowmead, Dartmoor, Devon SX575678
What an amazing site this is. On gently sloping hillside facing Sheepstor can be found this tremendous fourfold stone circle, about 20 minutes boggy walk from parking near what is known as the Scout Hut.
I found it impossible to get any photographs which do any justice to this site.

Butterdon Hill Barrow

Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Aug 2004
Butterdon Hill Barrow submitted by thecaptain on 2nd Aug 2004. Butterdon Hill Barrow, Dartmoor, Devon SX657594
Large cairn just beside the Butterdon Hill stone row, at the point where the row changes direction as it drops over the edge of the ridge, and at what is the crest of the hill when seen from the north.

Viewed here looking towards the northwest

Butterdon Stone Circle submitted by thecaptain on 3rd Aug 2004. Butterdon Stone Circle, Butterdon Hill, Dartmoor, Devon SX656588
The fantastic Butterdon Hill stone row starts at a cairn situated just downslope to the north of the largest cairn on the hilltop. The cairn is the usual mass of stones with a hollowed out middle, about 8 metres in diameter. Outside the remains of the cairn lies a ring of large fallen slabs, which once must have made an impressive ring.
This view is to the north, along the row, of which the first half mile can be seen as th...

At the summit of Butterdon Hill are two very large cairns, with others to be seen in the vicinity. The southern of the pair, on the actual summit of the hill, has been fairly mutilated, with a trig point and various walls of shelters now built into and around it.

Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 6th Aug 2004
Butterdon Hill Row submitted by thecaptain on 6th Aug 2004. The remains of this fantastic row run for nearly 2 kilometres across the moor in a roughly northerly direction from Butterdon Hill.
The row drops off from the ridge at Butterdon Hill barrow and continues towards the top of Piles Hill. At the lowest part of the slopes, the alignment is pretty well defined.
This view is looking south as the row meanders its way across the lower slopes. On the skyline can be seen Butterdon Hill Barrow, at which point the row reaches the top of the ridge and ...

Hobajons Cross submitted by thecaptain on 6th Aug 2004. Hobajons Cross. This relatively large stone is part of the Butterdon Hill row, and has a simple cross carved into it on the western face. It appears to be a part of the original alignment, adapted for more recent use as a marker for ancient tracks crossing the moor.

Its a photo of mine from several years ago, and I think its probably Ashen Hill, but can't be sure - it could be Priddy Nine Barrows.

Chestnuts

Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Kent)
Visited: Yes on 30th Aug 2004
Chestnuts submitted by thecaptain on 30th Aug 2004. To see the remains of this chambered long barrow, which lies in private ground, a visit needs to be arranged in advance with the owners, which I hadnt done, as I hadn't planned in advance to be here. However, the top of the stones can be seen over the field from the road through Addington Barrow.
