From roughly north including a ruined chamber. Photo does just about give an impression of the length of the whole barrow

From the lower slopes of Adam’s Grave. The earthworks are fairly visible in the right light – I just missed the moment, but you can still see em around the centre of the pic....

The barrow (uncut patch, right) is above a wide valley and you can see for miles to the NW, north & NE
Image credit: Tim Clark
Just to try to show how little there is to see – the slight curve on the ‘near’ horizon is all that remains. Jane is at what might have been the ‘entrance’ end
Image credit: Tim Clark
Even more underwhelming from the ‘top’! Can just see some stone surfaces peeping through the soil – doubtful whether these are actually from the ‘monument’? If so, they must be broken up, not in situ.

The approach to the circle from the north, having descended the hill from the north west

The entrance – pretty impressive once up close!

The back of the dolmen, looking down from the remaining mound

The approach to the dolmen having overshot and laboured back up the hill....
Image credit: Tim Clark
The uprights create a ‘different’ kind of dolmen, or is it just the restoration?
Image credit: Tim Clark
The remains of the barrow mound are fairly evident, though given the amount of ploughing, may ahve once been more extensive

The dolmen on its distinct low mound

The original ‘Flintstone’? (Stands further along the path that passes below the Hellstone)

The bovine ‘mob’ left as we started to stomp about ‘measuring’ the circle...eventually
Image credit: Tim Clark
This would be such a place with the stones upright!!!!
Image credit: Tim Clark
Some of the stones are colossal – phone (for scale) is almost megalithic itself!

Circle looking towards the road

Photo ‘kind of’ gives an idea of the way the lie of the land made it feel like the site of a circle to me
Image credit: Tim Clark
Took me a good 20 mins to trample the under(over?)growth so I could see the stones
Image credit: Tim Clark
Wonder whether it’d have been easier to photograph in its original setting? Not much of a view today either....
Image credit: Tim Clark
The barrow’s pretty ruined but still impressive

The remaining stone in the field over the hedge from the Broad Stone – other photo shows marks in the field that possibly describe the circle
Image credit: Tim Clark
Could the ‘clumpy bits’ in front of this stone be a sign of where the other circle stones once stood?
Image credit: Tim Clark
Had to fight through pretty overgrown and labyrinth-like paths to reach this one – well worth it though!
