Trowlesworthy West enclosure
Date Added: 27th Jan 2019
Site Type: Ring Cairn
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 16th May 2015. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
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.

Black Tor SW submitted by SandyG on 26th Sep 2014. Double stone row leading from the cairn. The grey arrows show the position of stones in the northern row and the red arrow a stone in the southern row. This row is composed entirely of small unimpressive stones and is a powerful reminder that this type of monument is often far from visually spectacular.

Log Text: 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. The alternative car parking location is at SX 64342 59548. From here the easiest way to reach the row is probably to head north alongside the River Erme which will need to be crossed at some point. A decent map and reliable GPS will be essential.

Corringdon Ball submitted by thecaptain on 24th Oct 2004. Corringdon Ball site overview.
This is the view looking southwest from Brent Fore Hill, overlooking the Corringdon Ball site. I have tried to mark out the various sites.
In the background is the Butterdon Hill to Piles Hill ridge with its enormous number of sites. Again, I have tried to mark out the various rows and features which would be seen in this view.
