Hellstone submitted by TimPrevett on 27th Apr 2005. A much earlier example of graffiti on the stone - a curled serpent eating itself. Difficult to spot, thankfully, unlike the nearby recent scratchings.

Long Bredy Bank Barrow
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 27th Apr 2005
Long Bredy Bank Barrow submitted by TimPrevett on 27th Apr 2005. The Long Bredy Bank Barrow - very long and very wide! Portal contributor Morgoth is to the left, giving it a sense of scale. This view is looking north. If you look carefully between Morgoth's head and the pylon above the green field, you may notice a long line crop mark which intrigued a few of us on the Megalithic Meet.
This Bank Barrow also acts as a terminus for another Dorset cursus, which ends only 150 feet away or so to the west.

Broad Stone (Dorset) submitted by TimPrevett on 27th Apr 2005. The now levelled Broadstone, with rods to give a sense of its dimensions. A jest was made that it had already suffered enough without the Christianisation imposed upon it. Mind that there road...

Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 6th May 2005
Giant's Grave (Shropshire) submitted by TimPrevett on 6th May 2005. What I believe to be the feature called "Giant's Grave" on the SE side of Stapeley Hill. I was not able to check it out in person - it was the other side of a field boundary; I hope to get permission and visit the site next month. This was zoomed in from the other side of the field, and based on my most meticulous map reading! The stone to the right seem to form a right angle against each other, with another stone apparently defining what could be interpreted as a chamber area. The site may be n...

Winterbourne Steepleton

Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 21st May 2005
Winterbourne Steepleton submitted by TimPrevett on 21st May 2005. A distant view of the stones at Winterborne Steepleton, from the roadside. Given I had already two fields of bovine close encounters that morning, I was not prepared for another!
The two stones lie halfway up the hillside within farmland on the west side of the road from Hardy Monument to Winterborne Steepleton.
One cow looks mockingly at me from the stones either side of it.

Martin's Down Bell Barrows
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 23rd May 2005
Martin's Down Bell Barrows submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd May 2005. One of the bell barrows viewed across the barley, from the gate into the next field.
I just couldn't help thinking of the Fields of Elyssium in Gladiator here. It was blissful. Only sounds were the birds, and the 'white noise' of the wind through the swaying heads of barley. Blissful.
