One of the outliers, the other being practically submerged on the other side of the footpath.

The South West quadrant. There’s a slight dip on the inside of the circle (seen here by the darker green line) which was either in existence from the beginning or is the result of people walking the circle for hundreds, maybe thousands, of years.

Charming, but a shame to discover that the decorated stone is only a replica.

An almost perfectly circular domestic dwelling.

One of the many holed stones to be found in almost every building.

Yet another holed stone.

...and another

Bet nobody’s done this picture before. My sons playing silly buggers.

I wonder if these buildings gained size with age or with the importance of the families or possibly both?

A lot of these. For water, storage, ritual?

Possibly one of the narrowest entrances/exits on the site.

Smallest room? Storage cupboard? Iron Age Granny flat?

Found this while mooching around by the ‘English Heritage Shed’. It appeared to have several cup marks, difficult to see in this picture I know, and looked a bit like an inverted Lego brick.

This was the only visible remains of what should have been about three barrows on the Down, the other two having been ploughed out at some point in the past.

Misty and mysterious. We didn’t actually get on to the head in the end as the mist thickened to such a degree that it seemed hardly worthwhile (and the pub beckoned!)

Nearly stepped on this delightful creature on the way up and met 2 of it’s siblings minutes later. Has anyone else had encounters with snakes in their wanderings?

The approach through beautiful gorse and heather as the quoit emerges from the mist.

The capstone with one of the many strange little holes that appear all over the Quoit.

Viewed from the top of the wall looking East(ish).

The little figure, just about discernible through the lichen and moss, on what may have originally been a standing stone. There’s another one at the village church at Paul, near Mousehole, built into a wall.

Tried riding a pack-horse through it and nearly succeeded!

Strange that this was allowed to survive. Looking at an aerial map it’s evident that the area was festooned with barrows at one time, but with the exception of this beauty they’ve almost all been ploughed out.

Panorama looking broadly North West under a glowering Dorset sky.

Large sandstone(?) block at the base of a corner of the Church. Difficult to know if these were part of a circle that was destroyed in the building of the church or not.

Hard to say if this was part of a circle/setting or from the Church.
