Stackpole Warren submitted by Bladup : This obelisk is just South West of the settlement. From here head North East for a few hundred yards and you'll find the settlement (inbetween the obelisk and the Devil's Quoit standing stone). I wonder whether the stones were maybe a hut circle or something before the Obelisk was made? (Vote or comment on this photo)

Stackpole Warren submitted by Bladup : Stackpole Warren settlement. This is part of the large outer wall (and a big stone). It's amazing to think that maybe the people who first lived here were the same people that put up the very nearby Devil's Quoit standing stones and had it's people interred in the barrows there.

The following is from the RCAHMW Coflein record site:

"An enclosure complex, extending about 120m NNW-SSE by 60m, the various features being defined by low (up to 0.4m high) stony banks; at the centre of the complex, as mapped by RCAHMW (1979), is a circular structure, some 8.0m across, opening into a roughly 17.5m diameter enclosure on the east: examination of the latter enclosure showed that it had been constructed over an earlier shell-midden (Benson 1978); the site has produced much worked flint, along with iron-slag & possibly spindlewhorls: the complex, occupying a north-facing promontory, can apparently be linked to a wider pattern of relict field enclosure, although this is not certain (Benson et al. 1990, 208)."

You refer to these stones as being of historic age value - I think you will find that, if you ask the local farmers, they have been erected, usually in the centre of the fields, as cattle rubbing/scratching stones ... there being, in general, no trees in the area to serve the same purpose. Had you thought of this? Kind regards. John Jukes. Bosherston.
