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

Fice's Well
Date Added: 16th May 2012
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes
Fice's Well submitted by KiwiBetsy on 23rd Sep 2006. The well stands surrounded by a low stone wall which was built by convicts (it’s only a very short distance to the prison) in the 19th century. We found Fice’s Well on a very murky Dartmoor day and were probably lucky not to suffer the same fate as John Fitz and his wife.

For hours they rode in circles unable to find their way off the moor. The ...

A fairly old view from Brian Byng looking up the hill along this triple stone row.
