Hobajons Cross
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 6th Aug 2004
Hobajons Cross submitted by thecaptain on 6th Aug 2004. Hobajons Cross. This relatively large stone is part of the Butterdon Hill row, and has a simple cross carved into it on the western face. It appears to be a part of the original alignment, adapted for more recent use as a marker for ancient tracks crossing the moor.

Hoaroak Hill submitted by TheCaptain on 9th Mar 2011. I couldn’t find anything of this, in a very swampy area. There is a nice tree and a couple of very active springs here in this delightful place.

Hoaroak 1
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 30th May 2010
Hoaroak 1 submitted by TheCaptain on 30th May 2010. This is a nice little setting of stones, mostly on open grassland, making it easy to see and find!
Most of the stones are less than 18 inches long, and fallen, or else just stubs of stone still fast in the ground. Only one stone really stands proudly near the centre of the setting.

Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Aug 2017
Hoar Stone at Duntisbourne submitted by TheCaptain on 23rd Aug 2017. "Seven years ago photographer David Quentin began capturing surreal, alien-like scenes of rocks falling from the sky at locations across the UK. It all started when the London-based photographer threw a stone into the air and took a picture of it to see how it looked..."

High Willhays North
Date Added: 19th Aug 2024
Site Type: Ring Cairn
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Aug 2024. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 2
High Willhays North submitted by TheCaptain on 19th Aug 2024. A stitched together panorama of the semi circular tor top cairn on the northern summit of High Willhays. It looks a bit like a semi circular retaining bank for a pool these days. The southern, actual, top of High Willhays (and southern England) beyond.

Log Text: Now heading north across the indistinct top of High Willhays towards Yes Tor, I keep an eye open for what we have marked as a ring cairn, which I find positioned adjacent to one of the rock outcrops at the northern top of High Willhays. It seems to be a sort of ring cairn combined with a tor top cairn like that on Showery Tor on Bodmin Moor. It looks a bit like a semi circular retaining bank for a pool.

Log Text: From Fordsland Ledge its relatively easy going up to High Willhays, but in a bit of a mist at times which makes me slightly concerned about navigation further on when there will be no obvious trackway. Hard to figure out what exactly this is. There are several side set slabs standing proud just to the east of the top outcrop with its marker cairn on top. It is hard to tell whether these are the remains of a large kerb, or perhaps an internal structure, as in some views it looks to be two parallel rows of slabs.

Log Text: After a day walking the beautiful coastline between Runswick bay and Staithes, I had an hour or two of beautiful sunshine left in the day, and made the decision to drive over onto the moor for a quick look for the Bridestones, of which I have vague memories from 27 years ago. In this weather, three upright stones standing can clearly be seen, so I walk over to the tallest, more than 6 feet tall. At this point, three other large stones can be seen flat to the ground along with several smaller ones. My memory tells me they were in a circle, but that doesn't really look to be the case to me today. To the northwest, slightly down the hill, can be seen several other standers in a rough line, and walking down along the row the I come to another group of several stones, but this time nothing more than a few feet tall. There are many other smaller stumps and flat stones can be seen before progressing down to another fairly large stander. Back at the top, there is another short stander off to the southeast, and what appear to be several moor, but which turn out to be sheep munching! Its all a bit of a mess, but I dont think this should be given stone circle status, it's more like a stone row to me. A megalithic disaster indeed.

Hetty Pegler's Tump submitted by thecaptain on 15th Mar 2009. The closure notice.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: March 2009 and Hetty Pegler`s Tump was closed and sealed off to the public, due to concerns over its safety, with the internal drystone walling collapsing due to vandalism and the weight of the capstones resting on these walls since the 19th century reconstruction. Scaffolding has been used to prop up the chambers, and the entrance passage and courtyard sealed and filled with earth.

Hertubise dolmen
Trip No.204 Entry No.269 Date Added: 11th Sep 2020
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Centre:Eure-et-Loire (28))
Visited: Couldn't find on 8th Aug 2005
Log Text: On my ign map, there is a dolmen symbol just to the south of the village of Alluyes, but its on the opposite side of the river to where I could drive to. Between the road and the river are houses and gardens, with lots of trees and high hedges, which prevented me from seeing anything of the Hertubise dolmen. There was a farm here with the right name though, so the dolmen probably exists somewhere.

Log Text: Visited this site yesterday, and remarkably found it very easily, although an episode with a gate caused much amusement. Other than seeing details here, could only find notes which call it a disputed site. First thoughts are blimey, its a big old longbarrow with fallen chamber at SE end. Second thoughts are maybe not, mch of this is natural.... Look closer, and the leaning stone beyond the big capstone is clearly not natural, and was once standing, probably as a support to the capstone. So, my thoughts are this is a true ancient site, using what was naturally available as a starting point. I have since read that there are many cupmarks in the capstone - always good to have reason for another visit.

Hembury Castle submitted by caradoc68 on 15th May 2008. Site in Devon:
Hembury castle (the danish camp), just north of Buckfast "devon" SX 725 684. Good little hillfort hiddern away way in Hembury wood, a site worth visiting>. Has very steep rampart bank, 20 feet in some places, a scrape the other side of the ditch. Inside the fort there is a small motte & bailey in the south west corner.

Log Text: A nice sunny afternoon, after Sunday lunch at Scorriton and a walk out to Bench Tor, I decide to go and have a look at Hembury Castle before heading home. What a lovely place, old woodland with a hilltop iron age fort, modified and updated with a Norman Motte. In places the ramparts are huge, presumably increased for the Motte & Bailey castle. Lovely.
