Piskey’s Hall – The Fairy’s Fogou submitted by TheCaptain on 1st Aug 2022. Yes, I have found the main structure and am able to get down into it. This one seems more like a large entrance grave than the other fogous I have seen, but who am I to argue.

Two stone rows at Hart Tor. Burl does list the Hart Tor double row in the gazeteer of his book
but it is under the section headed Avenues!
A double and a single row each originate from two of three cairns. The double

into it. The double row SX 5770 7170 is 126 m long azimuth 76 & has about 80

The cairn at the top of the northern rows is about 9m in diameter, and is surrounded by a lovely ring of 15 stone slabs. It is possible that there is another ring of stones still present within the cairn.
This is the view to the west, looking down the double row.

Trowlesworthy West enclosure submitted by TheCaptain on 22nd May 2013. A little way from the downhill end of the western stone row is a circular enclosure, about 10m in diameter.
I am not sure whether this is some kind of settlement enclosure (too big for hut circle, too small for animal enclosure) or perhaps a ring cairn.

At the northern end of this ruinous single stone row can be seen a few stones larger than the majority of theose remaining. Most of the remaining stones are very small and difficult to spot under the grass
This view is looking southwards along the general direction of the row.

Notice the two large standing stones fallen at the bottom of this picture. One has CP carved into it and the large stone over the hill has DC using the same size and style of letters.
