Site Type: Ring Cairn
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 28th Mar 2011
Cheriton Ridge ring cairn submitted by TheCaptain on 28th Mar 2011. Approaching from the north, what looks like a stone (which I first assumed must be a sheep) can clearly be seen down by the saddle of the ridge, with some darker heather around it.
As approaching nearer to this, and it can be seen that it is indeed a stone, with a few other smaller stones standing nearby.

Cheriton Ridge Boundary stones
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Modern Stone Circle etc
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 1st Apr 2011
Cheriton Ridge Boundary stones submitted by TheCaptain on 1st Apr 2011. These two lovely old standing stones are each about 5 feet tall, and look very gnarled. However, they are not prehistoric, although many hundreds of years old.
If you are out on this part of Exmoor, do go and have a look at them - they are far more impressive and beautiful than any of the remaining prehistoric stone setting stones to be found in the vicinity!

Blackhall Stones submitted by TheCaptain on 11th Feb 2019. There are several standing stones and other stone settings positioned at the junctions of the new housing estate roads with the road running west from Inverurie.
I am not sure whether these are real old stones moved and positioned here during the construction of the housing estate.
