Tregarrick Tor cairn
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 21st Oct 2009
Tregarrick Tor cairn submitted by thecaptain on 21st Oct 2009. The southern outcrop of Tregarrick Tor, with its "tor cairn" built up to it on the right hand slopes, and also the strange stone setting type arrangement in the foreground.
Is it part of a cairn internal structure or perhaps a separate stone setting of some kind.

Minions Platform Round Barrow
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010

Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Oct 2009
Minions Platform Round Barrow submitted by thecaptain on 22nd Oct 2009. The platform cairn marked on OS Maps as "Minions Mound".
In reality it is not the round barrow of that name which gave its name to the village, which was previously known as "Cheesewring Railway".

Rillaton Barrow
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 24th Oct 2009
Rillaton Barrow submitted by thecaptain on 24th Oct 2009. The chamber is halfway up the eastern side, in a separate depression of its own, and cannot be seen as you pass, so I suspect most people who pass this way do not realise it is there.

East Moor stone row
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 25th May 2010
East Moor stone row submitted by TheCaptain on 25th May 2010. I went for a long walk on East Moor (Bodmin Moor) on Sunday 23 May, with the intention of visiting and photographing several of the ancient sites on the moor, with the East Moor stone row perhaps the No 1 target.
I also took my new GPS with me - more accurate and user friendly than my old one, so I took this chance to test it out. Here is a plot of my meanderings, many of the sites showing well as I wander about them taking pictures.

Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Cornwall)

Warbstow Bury submitted by TheCaptain on 14th Jul 2010. At the centre of the fort is a large mound, 22 metres long known as the Giant's Grave or King Arthur's Tomb, which is possibly the remains of a neolithic long barrow, or perhaps a medieval rabbit warren.
Sorry for the horrid wet and foggy weather this day in November 2008

Visited: Yes on 31st Aug 2010
Fox Tor stone setting submitted by TheCaptain on 31st Aug 2010. On the southeastern slopes of Fox Tor, above Redmoor Marsh, a stone setting is marked on the RCHM Bodmin Moor survey.
I am not sure what to make of this, a couple of large side set slabs about 1.5 metres tall, with perhaps many other smaller ones around them.

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.

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.
