Round barrow in Devon
Sitting on top of the tumulus is a tree known as the Lone Pine of Aylesbeare. The pine, which is now dead, was used as a navigation point by local sailers. Plans to fell the tree where scrapped when a note was found pinned to it by the "White Witches of Aylesbeare" warning that anyone doing so would be cursed.
