Anwick Drake Stones submitted by Andy B on 2nd Apr 2010. The Drake Stones
Two lumps of Spilsby sandstone by the gate to St.Edith’s church known as “The Drake Stones” … actually a glacial erratic, but with a considerably more interesting Lincolnshire folk tale explanation.

Ash Hill Long Barrow submitted by Andy B on 23rd Jan 2011. Steve Fuller wrote: I do not have any photos as such but I do have some video footage and have taken a still from it looking north along the track at the farm.

The Calderstones
Trip No.14 Entry No.1 Date Added: 13th May 2019
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: England (Merseyside)
Visited: Would like to visit on 6th Sep 2012
The Calderstones submitted by Andy B on 6th Sep 2012. John Reppion writes: The plastic sheeting the stones are wrapped in looks like it may have been loosened since the first time I saw it (last month), possibly to let the stones "breathe" a bit more. Nevertheless the conditions seem terribly humid for a fragile prehistoric sandstone monument which is very susceptible to moisture damage.
