Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 29th Nov 2017. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 3
Down Tor stone row submitted by TimPrevett on 10th Jun 2002. This is where it all began for me: Down Tor, on Dartmoor. A chance encounter on a beautiful day and night with an awesome stone circle and row. This is where the stones bug bit me! Taken with a simple automatic 35mm camera.

Log Text: The majority of the stones are not tall but this stone row set in isolated moorland has a tremendous presence in this bleak landscape. It is the pick of the multiple sites concentrated in this area.

Down Tor cairn submitted by TheCaptain on 21st Nov 2010. About 50 metres to the northwest of the beautiful cairn circle, around the edge of the hillside, is the remains of another cairn, 14 metre diameter and more than a metre high. There are no signs of any kerb stones or structure within the cairn.

Log Text: It would be easy to miss this ruined cairn due to its proximity to the more impressive cairn on the WSW end of the stone row: it's always a good idea for antiquarians to investigate any suspicious mounds to avoid missing out.
Doubler Stones
Date Added: 19th Dec 2022
Site Type: Rock Art
Country: England (Yorkshire (West))
Visited: Yes on 21st Jan 2009. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 2
Doubler Stones submitted by DavidRaven on 18th May 2003. Two large rocks, weathered into curious forms. The upper surface of one has distinct cup-and-ring carvings. Even when the moor is teeming
with visitors, this backwater is usually empty of folk.

Log Text: Doon Castle Broch is my favourite local site to visit. The name may be confusing to some people because there is a Doon Castle in Ayrshire on Loch Doon. Doon Castle Broch is on Ardwell Point in Dumfries and Galloway.
A site of this quality deserves more visitors however the isolated location discourages people. There is the problem of the rocky road after West Ardwell Farm however it just requires careful driving on a short stretch to reach the Ardwell Bay car park. There is a sandy beach for non-antiquarians to amuse themselves while TMAers visit Doon Castle.
Dolmens des Grays

Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen

Visited: Yes on 13th Sep 2023. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 5 Access 4
Dolmens des Grays submitted by thecaptain on 19th Jul 2006. East along the coast from Penlann headland are found the remains of this large cairn.
It is difficult to make anything out nowadays, other than there are lots of large rocks on the remains of a large mound, overlooking the Villaine estuary.
Closer inspection shows this to have once been a large 30 metre diameter cairn, with at least three passage tombs within it, two of which still have a few capstones in position.

Log Text: Dolmens des Grays is located 5 minutes E along the coastal path starting in Pen Lan Car Park. At first sight the monument is a jumble of stones. There is an interpretation board, suggesting that the cairn consists of an amalgam of 3 separate tombs. It divides the cairn into Tomb A,B & C. They are in the N, SW & SE respectively.
