You know Eric, I think that over there looks awfully like a stone row, before we go up there (points uphill) we should probably go and have a look.

The south end of the eastern row.

Looking north up the east stone row.

Stood half way up the stone row looking towards the stone circle.

The western terminal stone of the west row. pointing as it does to the stone circle.

The west end of the western row, and a pillow mound.
Beyond knowing pillow mounds weren’t the right kind of ancient I had to admit to a touch of ignorance so I looked them up. They are medieval, OK so far ? artificial rabbit warrens, or vermin traps, I wouldn’t have guessed that in a month of days that don’t come round very often.

Looking west along the west row, oh look a pillow mound, don’t see many of those round here do you?

Looking over the terminal cairn circle of the west row towards Cadover Bridge.

The cute little cairn circle, with a large terminal stone pointing it’s row off to the right past that pillow mound.

Stand over there and look a little bit camp would you please.

The west row looking west. It runs alongside a Pillow mound.

The cute little cairn circle at the east end of the west row. Just above it are the few dark stones of Trowlesworthy stone circle, which is itself at the end of the east row.

I’m in two minds about that big stone, yes it looks like a standing stone possibly from a stone circle, and there’s a stone circle right there, but its not in line with the circles arc, at least it didn’t look like it to me. It’s a touch out of place.

Looking north, a couple of prime candidates for re-erection.

The north eastern arc, and the majority of the circle stones.

First view of the circle approaching from the North east.

Clearly there is a buried stone under that turf lump.

No sooner had I detected a buried stone, two anoraked archaeologists came running by, stopped, deturfed the stone before mine very eyes then ran off in another direction, damnedest thing I ever saw.

Technically there is less remains here than at nearby Sherberton stone circle but there was something about this place that makes me prefer it.

First view from the north of the remains of the circle.

If looks could kill I’d be staring hard at these Rhododendrons, in fact Id set up a camera and have it stared at 24 hrs a day.

Unfortunately it was a Tuesday and it was the expert repairman’s day off, so Dave did it.

That planet is mooning at me.

Colourfully differential.

Stones stacked up behind the still standing tall court stone(presumed), just as a precaution.

Just a touch higher, a touch higher, too much, take it back.

So very glad thesweetcheat found this stone, I found it to be a profoundly interesting place.
