Yar Tor Prehistoric Homestead submitted by AngieLake on 6th May 2009. The most prominent stones of the site, at the higher end of the area. Butler says: "A large hut (9.5 m) with some massive stones in its wall ...", so I imagine this is what he was referring to.

Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 10th Aug 2009
Bow Henge submitted by AngieLake on 10th Aug 2009. Bow Henge viewed from the air during the drought of 1984. [Excuse quality, but this is an old photocopy from 'Devon's Past - an Aerial View' by Frances Griffith*, which has been tucked away in a file for ages, hence the crease.]
*In 2005 she was Devon County Archaeologist.
Her description:
"The cropmarks here represent the remains of quite a large prehistoric ceremonial structure - some 60m by 70m overall - which would previously have been a prominent feature of the landscape. The cropm...

Bampfylde Hill Barrows submitted by AngieLake on 28th Sep 2009. Apologies for the quality of this photo, but it was snapped on my digi camera from a laminated file in South Molton museum, mostly as an aide memoire, thinking I'd find something online..
This wasn't to be!

Shovel Down
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 13th Nov 2009
Shovel Down submitted by AngieLake on 13th Nov 2009. Looking south from inside the grounds of Batworthy House [lucky friend lives there!] at the meeting of the double stone rows on Shovel Down. The smaller one just left of centre is the double row that ends in the small concentric circles of the cairn, with its large fallen portal stones. The Longstone would be over the rise to the top left.

Bellever Tor 2
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 25th Nov 2009
Bellever Tor 2 submitted by AngieLake on 25th Nov 2009. This is a possible candidate for the 'circle' at SW of Bellever Tor. It's hard to tell, but this looked as if it was placed upright deliberately, and probably part of a cairn circle or hut circle.

Down Tor circle
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 20th Feb 2010
Down Tor submitted by AngieLake on 20th Feb 2010. This restored cross stands just south of the track from Burrator reservoir, and NNE of Down Tor stone row and circle. Check out the lime green square link to 'Streetmap' OS map on the site page for position... (it's not the one near Crazywell Pool). Though it's a bit 'washed out', it gives some idea of the beauty of the area.
(Have just come across this old photo, taken long before I got into stones! Surprised there aren't more pics of Down Tor or Hingston Hill site. Must try to visit th...
