Addicombe Cairn and Enclosure
Addicombe Cairn and Enclosure submitted by Bladup : Enclosure wall at SX65125826, There's another Enclosure just downhill from this one but without any huts in it, So it may be safe to assume it was for kept animals (Vote or comment on this photo)
Cairn and Enclosure in Devon. At SX651582 is a mutilated cairn, It's 14.5 metres diameter by 0.8 metres high, A few Kerbstones are exposed at the South West.

Just to the North of the Cairn at SX 65125826 is a Bronze Age enclosure that is roughly diamond-shaped and is divided into two by a low wall running between two hut circles, The Northern Hut is by far the better preserved of the two.
