Quinish (Stone Row)

Submitted by enkidu41 on Sunday, 14 June 2026   (11742 reads)

Quinish (Stone Row)

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA row of four stones on Mull surveyed by Professor Alexander Thom, aligned NNW-SSE. Only one remains upright currently. Sandy Gerrard from Stone Rows of Great Britain warns it is difficult to reach. A map and/or reliable GPS device is essential, or "the chances of getting hopelessly lost are high". Close by are 2 fallen stones with an almost concealed fourth pillar. Earlier reports indicate a fifth stone, now gone, which suggests that this was formerly a 5-stone row about 33' long.

Coldwell Clough Anglo Saxon cross

Coldwell Clough Anglo Saxon cross

Early MedievalThis wayside cross shaft, reported stolen in the 1970s, appears to be back! It would seem stylistically to date to the late Anglo Saxon period. It has the initials EB carved at the top, these belonging to one of the Bradburys who farmed at Coldwell Clough for centuries, where it was previously reused and probably turned into a sundial to decorate the farm.

Grandmother Kueka Rock

Submitted by Wguayana on Friday, 12 June 2026   (220 reads)

Grandmother Kueka Rock

Natural PlacesA rock highly valued by the indigenous tribes that inhabit this region of Venezuela. They consider this stone to be their ancestral grandmother. In 1998, the German visual artist Wolfgang von Schwarzenfeld removed it from its location and exhibited it in the Tiergarten park in Berlin (Germany). In 2020, the rock was returned to Venezuela, and is currently on display at a small tourist centre, next to an important natural river resort called "Quebrada de Jaspe".

Holm of Papa Westray North

Submitted by Andy B on Sunday, 07 June 2026   (7924 reads)

Holm of Papa Westray North

Neolithic and Bronze AgeAn Early Neolithic stalled chambered cairn at the northern tip of Holm of Papa Westray, the small islet lying east of Papa Westray, Orkney. Ancient DNA results published in 2026 by Prof. Vicki Cummings and colleagues identified a father and son entombed here in the mid-3300s BCE alongside the father's maternal uncle or half-brother, and revealed that two of the women buried here were genetically connected to a male at Tulach an t-Sionnaich in Caithness - family links across the Pentland Firth at the very edge of early Neolithic Britain.
