Trehudreth Downs Stone Setting — Fieldnotes |

Trehundreth Downs Stone Setting - 31.3.2004 Full 8 figure grid ref = SX12587292 I found this from the Trehundreth Downs Stone Row. There is a good picture of this in Peter Herring and Peter Rose's 'Bodmin Moor's Archaeological Heritage' (Cornwall County Council - 2001). This excellent book writes "next to a cairn on Trehundreth Downs is a setting of three uprights in an arc, as if to define a forecourt-like area where rites could be performed against hills under the great expanse of the upland sky". Although their description is a bit strange to what is on the ground and their interpretation surprisingly flowery compared to the rest of the book, it proved very useful to help me find this.

Trehudreth Downs Stone Row (Stone Row / Alignment) — Fieldnotes |

Trehundreth Downs Stone Row - 31.3.2004 Full 8 figure grid refs = SX12477292 to 12757302 Not that much to see. I was tired by this point so didn't count or plot what I could see. I found this difficult to find from the west. Easier to find from either Greenbarrow or the Greenbarrow Downs Cairns. From any of these walk north west and you should walk right through the row! The row is low and small. One bonus is that you can clearly spot the Trehundreth Downs Stone Setting from this row. If you want to see a totally different type of row (tall, long and chunky) pop over the A30 and try to find Colvannick Tor Stone Row.

Greenbarrow Downs Cairns (Cairn(s)) — Fieldnotes |
|
Greenbarrow Downs Cairns - 31.3.2004 The OS map marks two cairns very close to the Greenbarrow. One is obvious to spot at SX131730. The other, marked at SX129730 didn't seem obvious to me. This post appears as part of the blog post "Don't get me down....."

Greenbarrow (Round Barrow(s)) — Fieldnotes |
|
Greenbarrow - 31.3.2004 Marked on the OS map. A large, easy to spot barrow. It literally is green and sticks out amongst the brown downland. One stone is stuck in the edge of the barrow as if it might be the last remnant of a kerb. A faint ditch also seems to circle as least part of the barrow.

Trehudreth Downs Cairn (Cairn(s)) — Fieldnotes |

Trehundreth Downs Cairn - 31.3.2004 Marked on the OS map. I can't say for certain that I found this unless it is the small mound aligned just to the west of Trehundreth Downs Stone Setting / Row. This post appears as part of the blog post "Don't get me down....."

Trehudreth Downs Stone Setting / Row — Fieldnotes |
|
Trehundreth Downs Stone Setting / Row -31.3.2004 Full 8 figure grid ref = SX12527274 An interesting row / setting of 3 large stones, one of which is still standing. Quite easy to spot form afar and from all around the Downs, which thankfully makes it easier to find than some of the other things around This post appears as part of the blog post "Don't get me down....."
