New King Barrows submitted by AngieLake on 17th May 2010. This is the barrow down-slope towards Stonehenge from the New King Barrows. I'm told it is known as Barrow 40. IIRC it lies to the south of the site of The Avenue.

Moss Farm Stone
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Scotland (Isle of Arran)
Visited: Yes on 8th Sep 2008
Moss Farm Stone submitted by AngieLake on 8th Sep 2008. This is the view of Moss Farm standing stone looking towards a boulder which has been inscribed as a present-day memorial. (Hence the fencing around it.)
I wasn't sure if the boulder was brought there recently or always stood in that place, to the NE of the standing stone.
(The flat face viewed here is the stone's West face, the other facing East.)

Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 10th Oct 2005
Monument 280 submitted by AngieLake on 10th Oct 2005. View of Monument 280 with Druids Circle in the background. The closeness of the kerb-like stones left of centre gave it the appearance of a ruined cairn.

Moel Ty Uchaf
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Denbighshire)
Visited: Yes on 17th Jul 2006
Moel Ty Uchaf submitted by AngieLake on 17th Jul 2006. This is the side nearest the ridge upon which Moel ty Uchaf stands, of the pile of stones I was led to whilst dowsing a ritual movement route at the site. At first glance it appeared to resemble a collapsed cairn or tomb. I came from Moel ty Uchaf's circle, down over the slope in a roughly southerly direction, at an angle towards my left slightly but aiming straight towards it (not having seen it before hand). On the way, there were three separate single anticlockwise movements, at equal dista...

Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Aug 2006
Metherall Settlement submitted by AngieLake on 23rd Aug 2006. Shall we see this rare sight more often as global warming takes effect? These ancient hut circles are usually under the water of Fernworthy Reservoir. Find them just below the main car park after a very dry spell (such as summer 2006).

Merry Maidens (Circle)
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 6th Jan 2006
Merry Maidens (Circle) submitted by AngieLake on 6th Jan 2006. This arc of the Merry Maidens is bathed in light from the setting sun on May 25th 2005. The nearest stone to the camera was approximately at the ESE of the circle, and such an unusual shape compared to the other more rectangular ones that I christened it the 'Goddess Stone', as it has the curvy shape of a female torso and was the focus of the final part of my ritual movement dowsing exercise. (The first part of the movement addressed 290 degs - sunward - on a short looping walk out of the circle...

Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 29th Oct 2004
Merrivale SW row 3 submitted by AngieLake on 29th Oct 2004. In the foreground, Merrivale Single Row 3 (see thecaptain's overview plan) at sunset on 21st September, the day before the Autumn Equinox, 2004. In the distance, in the glare of the setting sun, can be seen the two west end stones of the southern row. Two other taller stones on the south side of that southern row are also visible above centre, and to right of pic. ('Thecaptain' has a theory that these, and other taller stones in the rows, align with the menhir at certain times of the year.) T...

In the foreground is the narrow granite-lined leat which separates the two main rows.

Merrivale Menhir submitted by AngieLake on 12th Oct 2004. Merrivale on the day before the official autumnal equinox last month. This is the tall standing stone that stands near the circle in the SW of the Merrivale complex. The sun had just set, I would say this was approximately 7.30pm.

Merrivale circle submitted by AngieLake on 10th Feb 2008. Unavoidably looking into the glare of the setting sun at the most prominent, angular, pointed stone in the western arc of Merrivale circle. Here, trying to include the jagged summit of Feather Tor [?] to the WSW.

Merrivale
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 12th Sep 2007
Merrivale submitted by AngieLake on 12th Sep 2007. To link in with the Captain's recent pics of Merrivale, Langstone Moor, etc, this is the amazing rock formation of Great Staple Tor in close-up, taken from the north west(-ish), [lower pic] and across the rear of the 'portals' [top].
You can see how the Ancients might have revered this natural stone 'doorway': it is still enthralling today. Perhaps they thought that their 'gods' watched them through its portals on Great Staple Tor, and that is why they positioned their monuments around it?

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 18th Jul 2005
Menevegar Menhir submitted by AngieLake on 18th Jul 2005. *The Longstone* plaque fixed on the side of this lovely stone, now almost hidden in the bushes, graces a central green at an old-persons' bungalow complex on the left of St Dennis Road as you leave the centre of the village of Roche.
Reads:*The Longstone. This stone, erected during the Bronze Age on the Longstone Downs, was removed to this site in August 1970*

Men Scryfa submitted by AngieLake on 19th Aug 2004. Angie at Men Scryfa - approx 2.30pm on 9th March 2004.
(I am 5'4" for comparison.) The carved Roman letters were reasonably clear then. In the distance is the amusingly-named 'Ding Dong' mine, and behind me, the wall bordering the lane between the stile-access to Men an Tol and the open moorland leading to Boskednan (Nine Maidens) circle. Because the lane can get very muddy in this area, the boots were very welcome!
All the fields around here are bordered with walls of stones that looked as...
