Ghostly apparition standing in the feck off huge hole in the middle of the barrow.
You can kinda see the mound in the middle of the picture. Kinda.

This photo was handed to Heritage Action. It shows another pathetic swastika inside the circle. It was removed immediately after the photos were taken. Apologies about the quality of the photo.
A part rubbed out chalk swastika can be seen as a white blob on the stone on the other side of the circle.

This represents my blue period
I found this spearhead? on top of the ‘iron age’ ramparts.
I found this nice little arrowhead just off the path between the car park and Adam’s Grave.
I think this is a spearhead. I found it on the edge of the field containing the Coffin Stone.

Not sure about this, I found it in a stream bed on the ilkley edge of the moor.
I found this on the beach about 3/4 mile west of Seahenge. Its definately been worked.
I found this in the undergrowth near the QRSR Memorial Mound. If shaped by man, its not been done subtly. It does however hold very well...

Stone tool I found on Winter Hill in a dry stream bed somewhere about SD650135 (give or take 1/2 a mile) – This is the most comfotable way of holding it. Some kind of scraper or hide cutter perhaps?

Observe prehistoric chicken farm in background.
The rectangular enclosure!
The line of the cursus is clearly visible in the soil leading south up the hill away from Oakley Down barrow cemetary.
Was this stone carved in some way?

This was a cleanup day around South London, visiting a few sites that I hadn’t before. I had a good day for it and some pleasant company, so the day was an undoubted success. We did a loop from West to East, starting at Diana’s Dyke, then Gally Hills, Croham Hurst and finally attempted to get onto Caesar’s Camp.
Having done my list within the M25 and it was only 3pm, we headed outside to North Kent. First up was Squyerres Park but another nono, so we finished up at Oldbury again which is rapidly becoming a fav of mine.
All in all a nice productive day.
A quick word though, if you intend to do this South London wander, make sure you take in Morden Park at the start and Chislehurst Caves & Winn’s Common at the end. Actually, depending on your start time, you might want to reverse the route as well. That way you can be first in to Chislehurst caves & set up the day nicely.

Note the stairs in the middle to provide easy access to the interior of the fort. Not an original feature.
View along the bottom of the ‘rampart‘
A pile of stones formed into a wall nearby. The remains of the circle / row?
I just had to take a photo of this for the *ahem* suggestive nature.
Those weird carvings nearby..
The easily accessible shelter
Red dot marks the spot! (as it were)
Rampart ‘ditch’ on the west side, just up from the car park.
The South East entrance which literally towered above you. Not that visible but it was cobbled...
Damaged & crumbling wall to the South East entrance...
The plaque attached to the plinth. Squint to read...
Yet another joyful stone, I do so love cars...
From the side
Probably the largest one left
What I took to be the middle barrow.
