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.

This is approaching the largest barrow about midway along the hill (it *is* enormous), with some of the many Saxon Field Boundary Stones visible to the right.

Visited: Yes on 24th May 2005
Upwey Ridgeway submitted by TimPrevett on 24th May 2005. Most of the barrows here seem to be considerably worn down by ploughing, but are still numerous enough, and easy to spot as prominent ridges.
