Hoccombe Hill

Hoccombe Hill  lies about half an hour’s walk along the track from Brendon Two Gates where there is good parking. Another stone setting looking down into the water below. These are set where the slope forms a little platform above the water. Four stones in a kind of rectangle, like the four stones (one fallen) higher up the hill at Hoccombe Hill II. It is really a four stone setting, but one has fallen.

At SS 77064368 there is a triangle of three medium stones looking out over the valley. This is labelled Hoccombe Hill 11 in The Field Archeology of Exmoor by Hazel Riley and Robert Wilson-North. There's easy parking at Brendon Two Gates. This isn't as big as photos look, but it is big enough to be visible - unlike some Exmoor stone settings which are hidden in heather.
