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!

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...
