Neolithic and Bronze AgeScorhill stone circle and standing stone on Scorhill Down, northeast Dartmoor. Its dramatic setting on the rugged moorlands makes this 26.8m (88-foot) circle an especially worthwhile visit. Only thirty-four stones remain of an original sixty-five to seventy, and only twenty-five of those are still standing. Two cart-tracks run right through the ring, making its appearance even more dramatic. The stones are not evenly spaced, and the tallest, at 2.5m (8 feet 2 inches), is located in the NW. There is a prostrate massive slab,1.8m (6 feet) long and 1.5m (5 feet) wide, slumped at the SSW.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeStanding stone on Farley Moor, Derbyshire, on Forestry Commission land, now cleared. Marked on 1st edition of the O.S 1:2500 map. John Barnatt and Frank Robinson visited in 2003 and thought it to be prehistoric due to its location and weathering. Now confirmed as the 3rd largest standing stone on the eastern gritstone moors.

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryThe site is situated on a platform/shelf on an otherwise westerly sloping pastoral field. Coflein has recorded the site as dating from the Iron Age. I identified three hut circles within an irregular rectangular enclosure that meets a field boundary wall on its NE side. The sloping ground of this field and the adjacent fields show signs of levelling that may have accommodated further huts. A very interesting settlement site within a landscape abundant in ancient sites. [See our nearby sites list or map from this page for more - MegP Ed]

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis tomb is one of four tombs and barrows, two of which are Scillonian entrance graves. The others are too mutilated to know whether they contained a chamber. The best preserved is this Treen Entrance Grave (SE) which is a mound 25' across and 4'6" high with a 13' long, 3' high and 4' wide chamber on its northern side. The orientation of the chamber marks the midwinter sun over Carn Galva.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis Clava ring-cairn measures 22m in diameter and the edged kerb of boulders around the perimeter are incomplete but still evident. No standing stones remain. Easter Clune is thought to be one of four Clava Cairns in the vicinity: Golford (no remains), Auldern (three remaining stones) and Moyness, a half complete edge of stones with a single monolith.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeTim Daw writes: This is the site that Mike Parker Pearson's team has been, and will continue to, excavate. The three aligned rings appear to be aligned to the Mid Summer Solstitial Sunrise. In recent talks he has outlined that underneath the bronze age ditches there are older ones, and under the banks there are stone sockets. Intriguing, the publication of the results and analysis are eagerly awaited. Could it be the missing bluestone circle?

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis row has amazing views of the Lleyn peninsula. It consists of up to 10 large, small and medium stones, three of which may be natural rocks, and two of which have probably been moved or relocated. Sandy Gerrard has proposed a series of 'Landmark Reveals' in which landscape features disappear and reappear as you move along the alignment. There may be a cupmark on one of the stones.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeStanding Stone in Conwy. This northerly stone is smaller and more angular than its southerly friend. Lichen has turned it a lovely green colour. The adjacent pylon detracts from the ambience. (unless you like pylons!)

Neolithic and Bronze AgeFlagstones is a late Neolithic interrupted ditch enclosure (similar to a causewayed enclosure) in the English county of Dorset. The enclosure is formed by a ring of pits dug into the chalk bedrock, with 'causeways' between the pits. Half of the enclosure was discovered beneath the site of the demolished Flagstones House in advance of the construction of the Dorchester by-pass road.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeChambered Cairn in Orkney which is currently closed to visitors. One of those archaeological sites that we would not have in all their glory if it had not been for the enterprising curiosity of a native Orcadian, in this case Ronald Simison.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThe only real stone circle left in the region, Gors Fawr stands on a moor close to the village of Mynachlog-ddu in the shadow of the Preseli Mountains. The circle of 16 (mostly) blue stones form an egg-shaped ring and antiquarian reports indicate that there was once an avenue leading to the two outliers, which are found to the north-north-east.

Roman, Greek and ClassicalLocated just to the west of modern-day Corbridge, this site was occupied longer than any other along the line of Hadrian's Wall. Established in the AD80s, occupation continued until AD160. After this date, when the fort was extended, granaries rebuilt, and a town extending to around 12 hectares grew up. The importance of this site springs from its location at the junction of Stangegate and Dere Street, along with construction of a bridge crossing the River Tyne (the river ceases to become tidal at Corbridge).
