Log Text: Now that excavations have taken place what was originally thought to be a collection of rugge/rugg stones gathered over many hundreds/thousands years of field clearance has been declared to be a chambered tomb over which a 'more modern' (still a couple of hundred years old!) field dry stone wall was built - more detail to follow

Log Text: The site is currently marred by the Local Water Authority building a new access road to their site just to the N of the Barrow - security fencing all over the place!

Felton Bowl Barrows T28 & T29
Date Added: 30th Apr 2012
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 25th Apr 2012. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Felton Bowl Barrows T28 & T29 submitted by TheCaptain on 14th Apr 2004. Felton Hill Barrows, Felton Common, North Somerset. ST519648.
The central mound, complete with ditch and surrounding stone circle.
Felton Common lies directly under the flight path to Bristol Lulsgate airport, at the eastern end of the runway. This airfield was very active during the second world war, and it is known that there was much military activity on Felton Common during that period. It would not surprise me if the barrows had been substantially rearranged during that period, perhap...

Leigh Down submitted by h_fenton on 29th Apr 2012. Panoramic view of part of Leigh Down stone circle, the stone placements here are modern although their positions have been identified through dowsing.
Terence Meaden has found through excavation of a limited number of the the dowsed positions that they are stone holes with some still containing packing material.

Country: England (Somerset)

Stanton Drew - Avenue submitted by TimPrevett on 18th Aug 2006. For evidence of the avenue, go past the NE circle, and look for the linear earthwork. The line is visible here on the LH corner of the picture; the group is on another part of the earthwork. Looking on the aerial pics, and on the ground, this can be traced from 3 o'clock to 12 o'clock outside the Great and NE circles. I did have an excellent picture of this from the ground, but have accidentally overwritten it!

The western end of the fort is made across a narrow neck of the ridge of high land, and consists of a massive ditch and bank, known as “The Tump”, which must be 15 metres high from the ditch to the top.
This is a view to the south from the top of the Tump towards Chew Lake and the Mendips.
