Mainsgill Farm
Date Added: 4th Apr 2012
Site Type: Modern Stone Circle etc
Country: England (Yorkshire (North))
Visited: Yes on 14th Jun 2011
Mainsgill Farm submitted by Andy B on 14th Jun 2011. Stone Circle at Mainsgill Farm
This modern stone circle can be found at the Mainsgill Farm off the A66. It is made up of old farm gate posts and has been built in the last 5 years as a tourist attraction for visitors to the farm shop and tearooms. As stone circles go it doesn't look out of place and fits in well with the surroundings.

Fussell's Lodge
Date Added: 17th Sep 2010
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 14th Aug 2007
Fussell's Lodge submitted by Andy B on 14th Aug 2007. Reconstruction drawings showing the different ways Neolithic communities closed their burial sites: at Ascott-under-Wychwood, the chamber was walled up; at Hazleton offerings were made; at Fussell's Lodge the wooden mortuary chamber was burnt and a large barrow constructed; and in West Kennet, people simply stopped placing corpses in the tomb. These differences indicate that contemporary Neolithic societies are much more varied than we previously thought.
