Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 28th Dec 2007

Here (freezing cold 16 Dec 07) Arbor Low henge lies at about 60-65 degs from the stone... possible to see Summer Solstice sun rising over the banks from this position, I guess??
Gib Hill is due south.

Arminghall Henge
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Henge
Country: England (Norfolk)
Visited: Yes on 8th Nov 2007
Arminghall Henge submitted by AngieLake on 8th Nov 2007. This plan caught my eye because of the horseshoe shape of the posts that used to stand in the centre of Arminghall. I wonder if the builders of Stonehenge were influenced by this site?
In 'Circles & Standing Stones' by Evan Hadingham [1978 edition, where this pic was found], he says that the site is carbon-dated to 3400 BC.

Goonhilly tumuli
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 26th Oct 2007
Goonhilly tumuli submitted by AngieLake on 26th Oct 2007. This is another burial mound near Dry Tree menhir. Indeed, when I was searching for the stone with my dowsing rods, on 22nd May 07, I was led here, so am wondering if the stone (which was re-erected) might possibly have stood on this mound originally?
(The bracken was very vigorous then, and it was difficult to access, but two large stones stand either side of the mound, one slightly obscured in the vegetation!)
Please see plan submitted for this site's position, to the east of Dry Tree me...

Spinsters' Rock
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Oct 2007
Spinsters' Rock submitted by AngieLake on 23rd Oct 2007. When a friend and I visited on 8th October we spent most of the afternoon here, and to begin with it was very sunny. I liked the way the underside of the capstone is lit up here.
Two things NOT to do: Don't picnic, and don't feed this pony - he may bite! (see site page for more).
