The Hurlers Pipers submitted by JimChampion on 24th Aug 2007. View through the 'goalposts' of the Pipers, neatly framing Stowe's Hill in the distance (home of the Cheesewring natural rock feature and the neolithic enclosure of Stowe's Pound). These two stones stand to the west of the Hurlers stone circles. The dung in the foreground is from the ponies that graze the moor.

Treslea Cross
Date Added: 7th Mar 2012
Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
Treslea Cross submitted by Thorgrim on 5th Nov 2004. Crosses seem to be very much a continuation of the tradition of standing stones. They were placed as way marks on pilgrims' ways, as boundary markers showing the limits of ecclesiastical land and as places of open air worship. This directly parallels what we know of the purpose of standing stones. Treslea Cross stands at the junction of three lanes near Bodmin.

Visited: Yes
Nine Stones (Belstone) submitted by TheCaptain on 27th Apr 2004. Belstone Nine Stones, Belstone Common, Devon SX612928.
A nice neat little stone circle on the moors below Belstone Tor on the common to the south of the village of Belstone, Devon. This circle is almost certainly the remains of a round burial cairn, and traces of the burial chamber can be seen within the circle.
This is a view looking north

Visited: Yes
Shovel Down Fourfold circle submitted by simcon on 29th Aug 2003. SX659861 Shovel Down Stone Circle, Dartmoor Devon. I see this Web site lists two circles here, SE and NW. I only saw this circle which matches the description of Shovel Down SE Stone Circle. The view is looking south where the row continues to a large standing stone. Notice the two large standing stones fallen at the bottom of this picture. One has CP carved into it and the large stone over the hill has DC using the same size and style of letters. I do not know what this means. I parked in Fernw...

A double row @ SX 6541 8165 167m lg descending the hill from a ruined 8m dia
