| High Moorland Visitor Centre | Museum | England | Devon | Visited | 16th May 2019 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Thornworthy Cist and Ter Hill Cross, Princetown National Park Visitor Centre: We had about 15 minutes before the centre closed on the Thursday, so we flew in with Dave Parks for me to see and photograph the Thornworthy Cist and the Ter Hill Cross. There was scaffolding around the back of the buildi... Read More |

| Shovel Down row 2 | Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue | England | Devon | Visited | 16th May 2019 | 3 | 5 | 3 | Shovel Down Row 2 with fallen standing stones: We enjoyed a much welcome lunch break at the two pillar stones at the head (southern end) of row 2. Angie got some photographs of Andy B sitting on the larger of the two pillars, and later I wished I’d have stood over her shoulder to get similar shots... Read More |

| Three Boys | Standing Stone (Menhir) | England | Devon | Visited | 16th May 2019 | 3 | 2 | 3 | Three Boys: This was our last stop of the three days, and a lot of a let-down as someone had very recently used this stone as a toilet and left a great deal of white toilet paper around it. Yeuk! I think Gordon and/or Dave may have reported this to the authorities to clear up.
After this, we wa... Read More |

| Shovel Down row 6 | Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue | England | Devon | Visited | 16th May 2019 | 1 | 3 | 3 | Shovel Down Row 6: Nothing is visible of this row now, although we walked down the line of the row to get to the Three Boys. | 135 | 15 |
| The Longstone (Shovel Down) | Standing Stone (Menhir) | England | Devon | Visited | 16th May 2019 | 3 | 4 | 3 | The Longstone: A welcoming standing stone, very prominent in the landscape, sitting between rows 5 and 6. I had fun posing the group for photographs around the stone. | 135 | 14 |
| Shovel Down row 5 | Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue | England | Devon | Visited | 16th May 2019 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Shovel Down Row 5: Having been a little mystified by trying to find Rows 3 and 1, and having to rely on Sandy G to point out a few of the ground-level small stones, to find this stone row, running towards the Longstone, was really good. Glorious views over to Kes Tor, although it was still a little... Read More |

| Shovel Down row 1 | Stone Row / Alignment | England | Devon | Visited | 16th May 2019 | 1 | 3 | 3 | Shovel Down Row 1: My goodness, this row was difficult to spot! Thank goodness for Sandy’s patience, his wellington boots and his pole in pointing out a few of the stones! | 135 | 12 |
| Shovel Down stone circle | Stone Circle | England | Devon | Visited | 16th May 2019 | 2 | 3 | 3 | Shovel Down Stone Circle: Before we visited this site, I thought there would be nothing to see, but I was wrong. Whilst there are just three stones remaining, they appear to the eye to sit along the arc of a circle. However, the authenticity of this stone circle is queried by Pastscape.
The s... Read More |

| Shovel Down row 3 | Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue | England | Devon | Visited | 16th May 2019 | 2 | 3 | 3 | Shovel Down Row 3: To the west of stone row 2, and to the north of row 4, there was not much left to see of this row, which I tried to trace (without much success due to the high, tussocky grass on this part of the moor) as we walked down towards the stone circle.
Now writing up my photojournal, ... Read More |

| Shovel Down Fourfold Circle | Stone Circle | England | Devon | Visited | 16th May 2019 | 3 | 5 | 3 | Shovel Down Fourfold Stone Circle: Again, so many monuments in such a short walk – but by now, I should have stopped being surprised! At Kes Tor, Sandy G had spotted AngieLake, who had arrived a little later than us at the car park, and who had wandered about looking for us. By this time, it was l... Read More |

| Kes Tor Cairn | Cairn | England | Devon | Visited | 16th May 2019 | 2 | 3 | 3 | Kes Tor Cairn: As the group gathered around the western side of the tor, we saw what I initially thought was a tumble of smaller rocks from the side of the Tor, but as I walked around photographing it, thought it resembled a cairn. Walking back to join the group, Sandy and Dave were in conversation... Read More |

| Kes Tor Rock Basin | Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature | England | Devon | Visited | 16th May 2019 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Kes Tor Outcrop: My fear of falling stopped me from going to the top of this amazing outcrop to see the rock basin (I saw another walker trip over and narrowly miss going over the edge whilst I was there), but I admired the outcrop from down below. I hope I can still tick this site off my Dartmoor l... Read More |

| Kestor Settlement | Ancient Village or Settlement | England | Devon | Visited | 16th May 2019 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Kestor Settlement (of which Round Pound is part of): Only across the road from the Round Pound, which I learned later was part of this settlement and not separate from it, as we walked up the slope to the east of Round Pound, I couldn’t believe the amount, and quality, of the structures that remai...

It is not recorded on Pastscape or Historic England.
The stone circle is on private land, but can be viewed over the fences t... Read More |

| The Round Pound | Ancient Village or Settlement | England | Devon | Visited | 15th May 2019 | 3 | 5 | 4 | Round Pound Enclosure (part of the Kes Tor Settlement): For our first stop of the day, this was only a very short walk north-eastwards from the car park, and so visible from the single track road, I was left with open-mouthed and couldn’t wait to get over to this monument to take a closer look.
