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 north/south avenue leads directly to it. Kes Tor, seen in the background, is NE of the Longstone. There are numerous stone rows in the vicinity, and Scorhill circle is not far away to the northeast.
According to Richard Cavendish's book 'Prehistoric England' (Artus Books, Orion Publishing 1983):
"SW of Kes Tor, on Shovel Down, SX660860, are stone rows leading to burial cairns and a 10...

Fernworthy circle
Date Added: 16th Nov 2011
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 20th May 2011. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 3
Fernworthy circle submitted by AngieLake on 4th Nov 2005. The southeast-to-south arc of the circle, seen from inside its area, with the angular south stone at the right of pic. The left-hand stones of the main south row lead down towards the light green fir tree. In fact, there are many small stones lying in the coarse brownish grass, which are quite difficult to pick out as rows. 'Must try harder' next time - when it is drier weather!

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.

Log Text: Not sure who designated this access as "5." It cannot be driven to nor is it a short stroll, but it is well worth the long walk. And its condition is not a "1," as someone designated, but at least a "3." Nearby are the remains of the 12th Century St. Piran's Lost Church and the buried 6th Century St. Piran's Oratory, thought to be one of the most ancient Christian foundations on mainland Britain, now designated by a marker.
