Glasscombe Ball North submitted by SandyG on 29th Sep 2014. A line of prostrate granite slabs protruding through dead molinia does not offer a great photographic opportunity. One day I will return with my pole and see if I can improve on this offering. The fact that no stones remain standing strongly supports the idea that they have been deliberately felled. View from the north east with the terminal cairn on the skyline.

Godre'r Garn Las Cairn submitted by sem on 14th Nov 2017. Taken from Coflein - "Despite its ruinous condition, the cairn's proximity to two stone circles suggests a Bronze Age date for the mound."

Gors Fawr Stone Circle submitted by Horatio on 22nd Jun 2019. Summer Solstice sunrise at Gors Fawr 2019. Taken on my phone.
As I stood behind everyone I thought 'just how many people over the thousands of years have stood in my place and watched this and how many more to come in the following years to replace me'
It was a truly moving, 'spiritual' experience.
It was a long day yesterday (not just because the hours of sunlight) as sunrise here, then work (in east Carmarthenshire) and then back to N Pembs for the sunset at Pentre Ifan burial ch...

Gray Hill circle

Gray Hill circle submitted by sem on 6th May 2013. Vandalism!
The idiot who sprayed this hand-print probably thought he was being very clever and somehow "enhancing" the work of his ancestors. The sane and sensible among us will view it for what it is, graffiti.
This has been reported to the relevant archaeo trust. Unfortunately I doubt the culprit will be found..... unless anyone knows of someone bragging on a social network site????

Gray Hill stone row

Gray Hill stone row submitted by TheCaptain on 2nd Apr 2004. Grey Hill or Gray Hill Stone Row, Monmouthshire, ST437936 - ST438935
Looking to the south down the hill, is a fairly reasonable alignment of 5 stones in a row, which sort of joins between the jumbled stone remains on the top of the hill and the stone circle.

Gray Hill summit cairn submitted by TheCaptain on 2nd Apr 2004. Grey Hill or Gray Hill, Monmouthshire. Cairn atop hill at ST434936
Right on the top of the hill, with spectacular views all around is the remains of an ancient, but well worn cairn. I could have been imagining it, but did this cairn once have a kerbed ring around it, and some internal structures ?

Green Hill - Stall Moor submitted by SandyG on 29th Jul 2013. The row meandering up the hillslope at SX 6368 6631. View from the south. This length of row clearly refutes the idea that the Dartmoor rows are always straight.

Log Text: This has never been an easy row to get to. When visited in 2013 car parking was available at SX 62524 61120. Recently (2016) this car parking area has been closed making it much more difficult to access this part of the moor. An alternative car parking location is at SX 64342 59548. From here the easiest way to reach the row is probably to head east to the Two Moors Way at SX 65765 59965. Then follow the track north to SX 64683 63454. From here navigate north west taking care when crossing the River Erme. Given the effort to get to the area it would be a good idea to have a look at the Hook Lake Row and if you have time the splendid one on Stalldown as well as some the amazing prehistoric settlements. Another option maybe to park at SX 60395 70806 and approach the row from the north via Crane Hill. A full day but hopefully a rewarding one. Best contemplated in the summer.
