Visited: Yes on 17th Oct 2010
Pierre Longue de Saint-Jouan submitted by TheCaptain on 17th Oct 2010. Despite the menhir being so big, it still manages to play a game of hide and seek before finding it along chestnut lined trackways through fields of maize!

Visited: Yes on 5th Oct 2010
Holne Ridge 2 submitted by TheCaptain on 5th Oct 2010. Holne Ridge cairn 2 looking west.
I didn’t think I was going to be able to find this as the area it’s in is all covered by fern and bracken, but it was quite obvious once I got near.

This is a fairly large and prominent round cairn, about 14 metres diameter and 1.5 metres tall. However, I wasn't going to look too closely, as there were some stroppy looking guard cows staring me down!

Fox Tor stone setting submitted by TheCaptain on 31st Aug 2010. On the southeastern slopes of Fox Tor, above Redmoor Marsh, a stone setting is marked on the RCHM Bodmin Moor survey.
I am not sure what to make of this, a couple of large side set slabs about 1.5 metres tall, with perhaps many other smaller ones around them.

Warbstow Bury submitted by TheCaptain on 14th Jul 2010. At the centre of the fort is a large mound, 22 metres long known as the Giant's Grave or King Arthur's Tomb, which is possibly the remains of a neolithic long barrow, or perhaps a medieval rabbit warren.
Sorry for the horrid wet and foggy weather this day in November 2008

Furzehill Common 5
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 6th Jul 2010
Furzehill Common 5 submitted by TheCaptain on 6th Jul 2010. View southeast over where this excellent stone setting is to be found, off of the steep eastern slopes of Furzehill Common ridge, overlooking the splendid Hoaroak Water valley, with fantastic views to Cheriton Ridge and beyond.
I almost didn’t come and look for this one as time was getting on, the hillside was in shadow, and when I got near, I saw that the hillside was covered in ferns. I am glad to say that I did go for a quick look, and eventually found the best stone setting I had see...
