Fox Covert NW
Date Added: 1st Jul 2011

Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 30th Jun 2011. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4
Fox Covert NW submitted by hamish on 9th Feb 2004. ST781779. Tormarton. Chambered Tomb.
I don't know if you mean this one, but the ref. is very close. There is a ploughed out tumulus just east of this. I couldn't see anything across the road, so I presume this is it. I was here on a warm late summer day with swallows and loads of insects after my sweat. It is a great site. It is also just through the farm gate.

Log Text: The approach from Badminton Village springs a beautiful surprise as you meet the T-junction (with footpath/track going to S) shown on the map even more so in summer on a late sunny evening - lots to investigate with many stones around and on the Cairn - probably a veritable 'treasure chest' on careful examination

Holy Well (Biddestone)
Date Added: 8th Sep 2012
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 28th Aug 2012. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 3
Holy Well (Biddestone) submitted by KiwiBetsy on 13th Sep 2006. The Starwell is quite a large spring that flows from a slope and into a small stream. If you are lucky you may find one of the tiny star shaped fossils (crinoids) which give the spring one of it’s names. These fossils are freed from the underlying rock by the water, carried to the surface and deposited in the silty bed of the spring. We spent some time sifting about in the icy water (closely watched by a herd of curious cows) but found only a few modern coins, no doubt left by previous visi...

Log Text: Getting a bit threadbare - too many visitors - be patient you will find a star stone but then don't be greedy - farmer's permission should be sought - it is on the north side of the fast flowing and quite deep brook and just under the 'bend' in the power lines

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...
