Winter Andle Stone.

The stone at the lower left may also have been part of the kerb. Looking north.

Little remains of the cairn itself, just three stones (and possibly a fourth) of the eastern arc of the kerb.

There are fine views eastwards.

Looking southeast. The kerb round the western side of the cairn is very well-defined.

Looking WSW towards the highest part of the moor. Four of the kerbstones can be seen in the foreground, in front of the central mound.

Approaching the circle.

The southwestern entrance.

With Belstone Tor on the left, looking across the East Okement valley towards High Willhays and Yes Tor.

The eastern arc of the badly damaged cairn.

Dusk at Watchet Hill. The pole is used to signal when the firing range is active.

Looking south along the ridge towards Steeperton Tor. The small bump of an outcrop to the right is Oke Tor, with the higher Hangingstone Hill, almost 2000ft and crowned with cairns, directly behind.

Granite slabs of the broken cist.

Remains of the central cist.

Looking west. I think the high hill capped with cloud is Yes Tor, the second highest top on Dartmoor.

Looking north. The outcrop far left of shot is Winter Tor, with Higher Tor on the right.

Looking east across the cairn. The big whalebacked hill on the left is Cosdon Beacon, topped with a large cairn.

Higher Tor cairn, with Higher Tor rising behind.

Some landscape context from the slopes of Winter Tor above. The cairn circle is just above the valley bottom, left of centre.

Looking northwest down the East Okement valley.

Looking west to Harter Hill.

The displaced capstone.

The displaced capstone leaning against the edge of the cairn circle.

Looking southeast towards Winter Tor. Fragments of cist can be seen in the centre of the cairn circle.

A brief grin-inducing sunburst on the circle.

Looking down on East Okement valley.

Large recumbent slab on the edge of the cairn circle.

Midwinter Belstone.

Looking towards Belstone Tor.

The Triscombe Stone. It was nice to reach the shelter of the trees out of the driving wind and rain.

The encircling bank of the platform cairn at ST 1565 3625.

Looking across the platform cairn at ST 1565 3625.
