Pig Hill (N)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 20th Mar 2007
Pig Hill (N) submitted by thecaptain on 20th Mar 2007. The northern stone of Pig Hill (N) stone setting seen here in its position within the Exmoor landscape looking west.
I believe that the two bits of stone this side of the standing stone have been broken from it, while the slab on the far side was once another stone of this stone setting which has been moved and placed there from its original position elsewhere.

Brendon Two Gates (W)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Jun 2007
Brendon Two Gates (W) submitted by TheCaptain on 23rd Jun 2007. Not far away from this little stone row is the memorial to Col Robert Maclaren, who was blown up during a secret weapons trial accident out here during the second world war.
It's a nice big granite stone, standing proudly on the high ground, and can be used as a guide towards the ancient stones from Brendon 2 Gates.

Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 26th Jun 2007
Hoccombe Hill (W) submitted by TheCaptain on 26th Jun 2007. The stones run up the slope, but are not in a straight line, in fact it’s difficult to describe the shape, a sort of lightning flash, or perhaps a sort of very long thin diamond. The southern, downhill three are still standing.
