Hobajons Cross
Date Added: 14th Apr 2024
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 14th Apr 2024. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 3
Hobajons Cross submitted by thecaptain on 6th Aug 2004. Hobajons Cross. This relatively large stone is part of the Butterdon Hill row, and has a simple cross carved into it on the western face. It appears to be a part of the original alignment, adapted for more recent use as a marker for ancient tracks crossing the moor.

Butterdon Hill stone row starts at a cairn which is the usual mass of stones, about 8 metres in diameter. Outside the remains of the cairn is a ring of large fallen slabs, which once must have made an impressive ring.
This view is to the southwest.

Glasscombe Corner Stone Row submitted by Brian Byng on 7th Feb 2002. Glasscombe Corner is in part a double row with 1/3rd of its length a single row only. This is similar to one of the Drizzlecombe rows. Grid ref SX 6610 6080. It is about 180m long and has no obvious monument at either end. Its azimuth uphill is 216 with the horizon above it at an altitude of 3 degrees. This gives a declination of - 28.3 which is close to that for the most southerly moonset. The uphill end of the row does not however break the skyline as the row ends someway below the horizon.

Fourknocks submitted by kenwilliams on 19th Oct 2005. An extremely wide lens fits in just about the entire chamber, taken from the short passageway. Note the carvings on the free standing stone to the right.
The light is natural light from the ingeniously placed holes in the modern roofing.
