Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 5th Oct 2010
Holne Ridge NE submitted by TheCaptain on 5th Oct 2010. I didn’t think I was going to be able to find this as the area it’s in is all covered by fern and bracken, but it was quite obvious once I got near. The cairn is well formed, about 7 metres in diameter about a metre tall with the expected hollow in the top.

Pierre Longue de Saint-Jouan submitted by TheCaptain on 17th Oct 2010. Despite the menhir being so big, it still manages to play a game of hide and seek before finding it along chestnut lined trackways through fields of maize!

At the southeastern end, in a lowpoint before the ground rises again, there seems to be a single, fairly large triangular shaped stone placed across the central or northern row, which may once have been a blocking stone marking the proper end of the monument.

Bowda Stone Circle
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 4th Dec 2010
Bowda Stone Circle submitted by TheCaptain on 4th Dec 2010. I had never heard of a stone circle here until I saw the Pastscape entry here, so thought I’d better go and have a look.
Certainly there are a couple of large side set slabs standing on edge here, with others fallen and laying about which could conceivably be remnants of a stone circle.
