SW view along right side bank of earthworks
Looking NW towards Brown Willy and Roughtor.
The two most prominent of the group on top of Buckabarrow Downs.
The most northerly of the barrows, this one sits just beside the minor road after it leaves the B3359. Give it a week or so and it will be a mass of bluebells.
On top of the Giants Hedge
Reported to be the best bit of the hedge in existence..or the most accessible...
Willake Woods, above Lerryn
Another view of the Merry Making stone, looking west
How’s this for rock art?
The Merry Making stone incorperated into the wall of Stowes Pound east side.
On the southern edge of Stowes Hill, just before it falls away into the quarry, stand three or four stones. This one, the largest, is about 5ft high. They could be part of the old wall that encircled the hill, or they could have been inside the wall. The creating of the quarry in the 1800s means we will never know.
Cheesewring jut behind on left.
Stone Circle from the north with the row coming in on the right.
As the stone row crosses the River Erme at Erme Pound it becomes two for a while.
To the south of the pound a stone row climbs alongside the ruined walls.
Well hidden cairn to the north of the Butterdon Hill barrow. The stone row runs from here northwards. Its route is now marked by the well worn pathway. In the distance the central hill is Three Barrows, one of which can just about be picked out on the top.
Just below the summit on the SW side stands this upright. Infront of it is a paved area. Any ideas?
