Ridgeway
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Trackway
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 28th Feb 2005
Ridgeway submitted by TheCaptain on 28th Feb 2005. The Ridgeway near to Waylands Smithy after sunset, February 2005, showing just what a terrible state it has been turned into. Thankfully it was all frozen, and so walking along it wasnt too problematical.
Those who insist on driving their 4WD vehicles all over everything say they are not destroying things, and that walkers, mountain bikers and horses cause as much destruction.
I'll let the viewer be the judge.

Stoney Littleton
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 18th Mar 2005
Stoney Littleton submitted by TheCaptain on 18th Mar 2005. I called in at Stoney Littleton last weekend, a cracking little barrow. A lovely sunny day, but the walk to the barrow was horrendously muddy.
Checked out the pictures here, lots of the entrance and from inside, but there are none which show the whole barrow. So here is one looking at it from the south.

Emblance Down stone row
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Mar 2005
Emblance Down stone row submitted by TheCaptain on 23rd Mar 2005. Sunday I had a day walking on northwestern Bodmin moor, and visited about a dozen prehistoric sites. While on King Arthur’s Downs, I wondered whether I had found a possible stone row, at SX137775. Unusual for round here I agree, but it wouldnt be too dissimilar to the Nine Maidens row at St Breock.
Walk eastwards from the two circles along the edge of the southern wall, and after a couple of hundred yards can be seen a large pointed stone flat to the ground. This stone is about three and a ...

Leaze Cist
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cist
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 24th Mar 2005
Leaze Cist submitted by TheCaptain on 24th Mar 2005. Walking northwards towards King Arthur’s Hall from the end of the road out into Bodmin Moor near Leaze waterworks, the remains of a fine cist within a kerbed cairn are to be found.
The cist is about 3 foot long by 18 inches wide, and a couple of feet deep, lined with good slabs of stone. The surrounding cairn is fairly small, probably only about 3 metres in diameter, but with a clear circle of stones surrounding it.

Louden menhirs
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 12th Apr 2005
Louden menhirs submitted by TheCaptain on 12th Apr 2005. On the southern slopes of Louden Hill, where the new trackway descends the hill are the remains of an ancient settlement, remains of which can be seen all around in this picture.
Just to the south of the track is a fairly impressive stone standing upright. Closer inspection shows there to be others nearby. Far too big for a hut doorpost, is it a menhir ? or is it a more modern marker for the ancient trackway across the moor here ?
