The Longstone (Shovel Down) submitted by AngieLake on 14th Sep 2004. This lovely megalith is known as The Longstone and stands on the eastern slopes of Shovel Down at SX660857. A north/south avenue leads directly to it. Kes Tor, seen in the background, is NE of the Longstone. There are numerous stone rows in the vicinity, and Scorhill circle is not far away to the northeast.
According to Richard Cavendish's book 'Prehistoric England' (Artus Books, Orion Publishing 1983):
"SW of Kes Tor, on Shovel Down, SX660860, are stone rows leading to burial cairns and a 10...

Trowlesworthy
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Barrow Cemetery
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 14th Oct 2004
Ringmoor Down stone circle submitted by AngieLake on 14th Oct 2004. This stone - looking like an electric iron, poised for use, is almost opposite the other unusual stone in Ernar's Trowlesworthy circle. It does make you think that these were especially chosen for their shapes, and begs the questions, "Why?", and, "Were they in this actual position for a reason?""

The Round Pound
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 24th Oct 2004
The Round Pound submitted by AngieLake on 24th Oct 2004. This shows the layout of the Round Pound at Kestor. Underneath, the caption reads: 'Fig.6. General Plan of Round Pound. Prehistoric constructions are shaded, mediaeval are white.' Therefore, it would appear that the four 'radial walls' and the 'small hut' in the outer circle, and the semi-circular 'shelter' in the inner circle, are mediaeval. This leaves the double-walled inner and outer circles to be interpreted as 'prehistoric'. The writing at very top of plan says: "Entrance to pou...

Kestor Settlement

Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 24th Oct 2004
Kestor Settlement submitted by AngieLake on 24th Oct 2004. This old plan of Kes Tor hut circles and fields, includes the Round Pound. It appears that the line of parallel stones that theCaptain queried could be an old drove way. (Here referred to as 'Lower Drove Way'). In very small letters halfway up the right side of the plan, near the letter 'A', is 'Upper Drove Way'. The small print at the bottom of pic says: "Fig 2. General Plan of the Settlement at Kestor, by E.C.Curwen and R.Gurd, with additions. The field walls of the stippled areas are of...

In the foreground, Merrivale Single Row 3 (see thecaptain's overview plan) at sunset on 21st September, the day before the Autumn Equinox, 2004. In the distance, in the glare of the setting sun, can be seen the two west end stones of the southern row. Two other taller stones on the south side of that southern row are also visible above centre, and to right of pic. ('Thecaptain' has a theory that these, and other taller stones in the rows, align with the menhir at certain times of the year.) T...

St John's Well (Tavistock) submitted by AngieLake on 31st Dec 2004. St John's Well at Tavistock (SX478739) is tucked into the hill in a public park area on the east bank of the River Tavy. A footpath runs parallel to the river bank on this side of the river, and a fairly slippery (it had been raining) flagstone path leads off at right-angles across the grass towards the little granite-arched well, and its capstone with 'St John's Well' carved on it.On the opposite side of the river, some walls still stand, bordering the footpath, which are from the ruins of t...
