Long Bredy Bank Barrow
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 25th Apr 2005
Long Bredy Bank Barrow submitted by JimChampion on 25th Apr 2005. April 2005. A composite view of the bank barrow, looking south from the field gate (standing on the gatepost to get a better view). The curvature of the appropriately named Long Barrow Hill means that it is difficult to see the barrow from this close distance. The break in the bank is clearly visible, occurring about a third of the way along the barrows 200m length.

Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Hampshire)
Visited: Yes on 28th Mar 2005
Longdown (New Forest) tumuli submitted by JimChampion on 28th Mar 2005. A composite image of the bowl barrow at grid ref SU36390822, with Ipley Inclosure in the background. According to Hampshire Treaures this barrow is 9m in diameter, 0.8m high, and has a large crater mutilation. Traces of a ditch are found on the south side (the far side in the picture), noticeable because no heather grows in the ditch.

Maen Castle
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Promontory Fort / Cliff Castle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 31st Aug 2008
Maen Castle submitted by JimChampion on 31st Aug 2008. The name "Maen" Castle is from the Cornish for 'stone', and that describes it quite well. This exposed granite headland has many boulders and outcrops, and the promontory fort has little room for occupation. It is thought to be associated with field systems on the slope immediately to the east.
The headland in the distance is Dr Syntax's Head at Land's End, with the Longships rocks and lighthouse offshore.

Maiden Castle (Dorset)
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 31st Dec 2004
Maiden Castle (Dorset) submitted by JimChampion on 31st Dec 2004. August 2004. Looking west along the southern flank of this impressive hillfort, towards the Hardy Monument. The ditches are not as deep as they once were, and the ramparts were once topped with wooden pallisades. These formiddable defences forced the Roman army to take the slightly 'easier' option of attacking via the south-eastern entrance.

Maiden Castle Barrow Cemetery
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Barrow Cemetery
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 26th Jul 2005
Maiden Castle Barrow Cemetery submitted by JimChampion on 26th Jul 2005. Looking north at the most prominent barrow of the cemetery, from the edge of the Maiden Castle visitors' car park. The barrow can also be seen from the nearby Dorchester by-pass, a few weeks earlier I was passing by and the barrow seemed to be stood amid a sea of blue cornflower.

Martin's Down Bell Barrows
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 27th Apr 2005
Martin's Down Bell Barrows submitted by JimChampion on 27th Apr 2005. April 2005. The bowl barrow at grid ref SY570910, with its friend the OS trig point (a modern standing stone?) and The Knoll (near Pucknowle) in the mist in the distance. Taken whilst squatting in the ditch of the cross dyke that separates this promontory off from the rest of Martin's Down. This small round barrow is only 50m SW of the SW end of the Long Bredy bank barrow - most of the nearby round barrows are found nearer the other end of the bank barrow.

Maumbury Rings
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Henge
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 28th Dec 2006
Maumbury Rings submitted by JimChampion on 28th Dec 2006. A low viewpoint makes the eastern side of the henge entrance look a bit Silbury-like. Very overcast and not a good day for taking pictures of this large grassy earthwork. The size of the bank is not a good indication of its original height - it was greatly added to when the Romans converted the henge into an amphitheatre.

Mayon Cliff cairn
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 31st Aug 2008
Mayon Cliff cairn submitted by JimChampion on 31st Aug 2008. The cairn on Mayon Cliff, not listed as a scheduled monument by English Heritage. It is in fairly bad condition, but still recognisable on this exposed headland where the elements and visitor pressure keep the vegetation right down. The island in the distance is the Brisons and Cape Cornwall can be seen poking in from the right.

Men Scryfa
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Early Christian Sculptured Stone
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Aug 2005
Men Scryfa submitted by JimChampion on 22nd Aug 2005. The inscribed side of the stone, obliquely illuminated by the setting sun. The inscription stands out reasonably clearly but you'll still need to use your imagination a bit to see "RIALOBRANI CUNOVALI FILI".
