Log Text: This is not a Long Barrow, a Chambered Cairn or a Windmill mound but probably an Oval Bowl/Round Barrow

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.

Stanton Drew - Avenue
Date Added: 30th Apr 2012
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 28th Apr 2012. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
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.

Tickenham Court Barrow submitted by 4clydesdale7 on 20th Jul 2012. Looking north over the Bowl Barrow - the M5 is just beyond and below the barred gate - the trees are on the North (opposite) side of the motorway - the Barrow definitely needs a 'haircut' - bowl and scissors ready?!!!

Cadbury Hill submitted by Creative Commons on 20th Jul 2012. This Ancient fort, directly under the flight path from Bristol International Airport, is on top of Cadbury Hill and must have been an easily defendable position.
Whilst wooded all around the top is kept clear by occasional grazing. Owned by Yatton Parish Council it provides open access and excellent walks for the public.

Log Text: Be careful how you approach this; new paths created by the Backwell Environmental Trust can deceive - they distract from the old foothpath - cannot imagine why they left the cave off their notice board and why they did not clear modern detritus -
