Menhir des Verdons
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Rhone:Savoie (73))
Visited: Yes on 17th Feb 2011
Menhir des Verdons submitted by TheCaptain on 17th Feb 2011. Is this an ancient menhir which has been re-erected, or a more modern stone ? I don't know. I can find nothing out about it. But here it stands, proudly at the Verdons lift complex, in the middle of the Courchevel ski area.
The stone itself stands about 2.5 metres tall, and certainly looks the part. I'm guessing a re-erection.

Cheriton Ridge stone row
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 20th Feb 2011
Cheriton Ridge stone row submitted by TheCaptain on 20th Feb 2011. I found the tops of about 5 or 6 stones just poking their tops above the turf, aligned in a row oriented just east of north along the ridge. As with most of the Exmoor stone rows, the stones are tiny and very difficult to find, with most of them probably buried under the turf and heather.

Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Feb 2011
Cheriton Ridge 2 submitted by TheCaptain on 23rd Feb 2011. To the east, I found plenty more broken and fallen stones, which if all in place would have meant that this setting was perhaps three rows of four stones, running laterally to what is the remaining sixpack.

Farley Water stones submitted by TheCaptain on 9th Mar 2011. “Standing Stones” are marked on the OS map, but I could find nothing obvious.
What a lovely spot it is down here, well protected from any winds, and with a few trees growing in a little flat grassy area beside the babbling stream.

Cheriton Ridge ring cairn
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
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!
