14 July 2006 The cairny mound with Sleeping Beauty (her head anyway!) in the background on the right
14 July 2006 For what it’s worth, we thought that on the mound, the 2 exposed/remaining protruding stones seem to align (at least approximately) towards Sleeping Beauty’s feet (and Fangs circle)
14 July 2006 Cairn-type mound looking towards kerb-type circle (with Juamei for scale)
14 July 2006 The approach to the stones from the loop of old road
9 July 2006 The moon performing its lunar standstill dance, taken from the western avenue fairly near the circle. Unfortunately, it very soon danced behind the clouds....
9 July 2006 Moon over Loch Ceann Hulavig with the eastern stone that Margaret Curtis ‘rediscovered’ on right of frame. Shame I couldn’t see the fencepost on the edge of the reflection – it was dark!!!
Sunday 3 July 2005 View along the main rows from the southern of the smallish twin cairns
Sunday 3 July 2005 One of the local divebombing wheatears takes a rest while a passing family examine the stones.
Sunday 3 July 2005 The main rows and longstones looking SSW, the northern of the smallish twin cairns in the foreground, and the NW standing stone just visible on the right
Sunday 3 July 2005 The main row leading NE from the southern longstone, towards the Giant’s Basin on the right and the northern longstone

Sunday 3 July 2005 The length of the main row is pretty impressive!
Sunday 3 July 2005 A marker stone on the hillside in the foreground on the way towards the complex from Yellowmead
Sunday 3 July 2005 Approaching roughly from the south, it appeared somebody had beaten us to the circles.... Luckily, I don’t mind horses & Jane loves ‘em
Sunday 3 July 2005 Working around the ponies, we could see the diminutive rows (in the foreground) leading away roughly N from the circles
Sunday 3 July 2005 It becam apparent that the monument was well-guarded as the ponies were reluctant to vacate....
Sunday 3 July 2005 Eventually the ponies moved far enough that we could actually make out the format of the monument. This is looking roughly SW (I think!)
Sunday 3 July 2005 Looking roughly W towards Yellowmead farm
Sunday 3 July 2005 The circle approaching from Brisworthy, which is to the SSE
Sunday 3 July 2005 Looking across the circle with the row on the far side, centre, marching off NNE across the moor

Sunday 3 July 2005 The circle looking SSW along the end of the row
Sunday 3 July 2005 An attempt to showthe length of the row, looking NNE away from the circle. Jane is around 2/3 to 3/4 along the row

Sunday 3 July 2005 The far part of the row from the reave looking NNE, away from the circle
Sunday 3 July 2005 Looking roughly north, approaching a little cairn circle at SX561661 from the ‘main’ Ringmoor circle and stone row
Sunday 3 July 2005 Little cairn circle at SX561661 looking SSW. Those china clay works get everywhere....
Sunday 3 July 2005 Little cairn circle at SX561661 looking S towards Legis Tor. ‘Main’ circle at end of stone rows is just visible on near horizon
Sunday 3 July 2005 Looking roughly south from little cairn circle at SX551661 to ‘main’ Ringmoor circle at end of stone row
Sunday 3 July 2005 The circle nestling on the hillside, looking roughly south from the direction of Ringmoor
Sunday 3 July 2005 Looking roughly north towards Ringmoor, out of sight at the top of the hill
Sunday 3 July 2005 In the S quadrant of the circle, amongst the ferny undergrowth, there are stumps and fragments of the ‘missing’ stones. You can even see the drillholes on this one – thank goodness they didn’t destroy the whole gorgeous circle....
Sunday 3 July 2005 Looking roughly WSW back towards Brisworthy farm
Sunday 3 July 2005 Looking roughly SW straight towards Shaugh Lake china clay works. What a shame.
Sunday 3 July 2005 Looking roughly south towards the Lee Moor china clay works

Saturday 2 July 2005 Looking roughly south, towards Batworthy & Shovel Down
Saturday 2 July 2005 Approaching down the hill from the west, having parked at the parking at the closest point at SX662878 – though is a fairly easy walk from Batworthy corner if you’re seeing Shovel Down too
