Bindon Hill
Date Added: 13th Mar 2013
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 7th Aug 2008. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 3
Bindon Hill submitted by JimChampion on 14th May 2005. The context of the fort, on top of Bindon Hill and towering over Lulworth Cove. The cove would have been an important harbour for early Iron Age settlers/invaders arriving from the continent, and it is suggested that the defensive earthworks of Bindon Hill were a hurried beach-head fortification to secure control of the cove.

Wardstone Barrow
Date Added: 25th Nov 2013
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 9th Aug 2008. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 2
Wardstone Barrow submitted by JimChampion on 31st Dec 2007. Looking north towards the Wardstone Barrow. The track on the right leads to Chideock Farm, and is a permissive footpath. There was originally another barrow in the field to the right, but it is destroyed. Presumably the wooden posts around this one mark the limit of the scheduled ancient monument.
It was a very grey and dull Christmas Eve, this was the only decent photo that I took of the site!

Date Added: 25th Nov 2013
Site Type: Barrow Cemetery
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 9th Aug 2008. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 2
Southdown (Dorset) submitted by JimChampion on 28th Oct 2006. Looking ENE, three of the four barrows in this linear group can be seen. In the foreground is a very low-profile barrow, grid reference SY75098258. To the left of this, on the other side of the lane is the barrow at grid reference SY74938260. To the left of this, almost hidden in shadows, is the most westerly barrow at grid reference SY74678259. Early evening is a good time to try and photograph these tumuli - the shadow from near-horizontal sunlight gives contrast against the surroundings.
