Within the Iron age hillfort at Denbury are two Bronze age round barrows, that pre date the hillfort by at least a 1000 yrs. They are situated to the N/E & S/W of the site . There is a small upright on top of the S/W barrow its unclear if its contemporary with the barrows.

Using O.S outdoor leisure 28 map park at very small grass layby at SX684603 directly opposite is a bridle path that leads to Ball Gate , half way along on right hand side is Aish ridge access land .Spotted this one on the way back from Corringdon Ball in total 14 stones, quite large in comparison to other stone rows on the moor in height & width . This only warrants 2 dots on the O.S map so I am unsure of its antiquity, can anyone shed any light?
The 7 remaining uprights of the cairn circle which terminates the stone row.

Note squiggle in background is to highlight the long barrow. This is actually a tripple row but most of the stones are hidden under grass & peat at the northern end of the row are the remains of a small cairn circle.

This is believed to be the oldest man made structure on Dartmoor, and is visible from all the surrounding cairns & stone rows. Far more impressive than photo’s show.

Over the hedge again 90 degrees from first pic
About 12 metres in diameter and about 3 meters high ,this pic was taken over the hedge stood on the roof of my car.
Probably the easiest site to find in Cornwall. On the A39 about 7 miles north of Bude ,when you hit the sign for Wooley look to your right and there it is about 15ft from the road .
Not more stones dad, no not today son.
