Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Yorkshire (West))
Visited: Yes on 29th Oct 2002
Twelve Apostles (Yorks) submitted by TimPrevett on 29th Oct 2002. This site is seriously under threat. The stone to the left, and following the ring around, another 2 stones (alternating) are supported by boulders at the base. The stone at the front had been moved several feet since June - compare with the photo taken by Col also posted on the portal.

Trethevy Quoit submitted by TimPrevett on 9th May 2003. Nothing quite prepares you for the scale of these stones in person. I said to my daughter that these stones would make us look small - and we were so gobsmacked when we arrived. As my daughter said, "It's a whopper!".

Dorchester, Tudor Arcade submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd Nov 2003. When in Dorchester, I just had to check out the report in Bill Putnam's book "Dorset: The Prehistoric Age" that there were red markings in Waitrose Car Park, Dorchester, denoting sites of larger timber posts, which formed part
