Arbor Low Earthwork
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 28th Dec 2007
Arbor Low Earthwork submitted by AngieLake on 28th Dec 2007. This stone stands virtually alone in the large field surrounding Gib Hill. 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.

To the extreme right, against the darker furthest bank, the frosty form of one of the larger recumbent stones at the approx SW of...

Lough Gur E
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: Ireland (Republic of) (Co. Limerick)
Visited: Yes on 15th Mar 2008
Lough Gur E submitted by AngieLake on 15th Mar 2008. This site, taken from camcorder footage from the field gate, was just across the road, to the right of the farmhouse when viewed from Grange circle. Therefore, it must have been NW. The farmer showed me the site but I didn't go into the field to read the sign by the stones, and because it was 7 years ago, I don't recall what the farmer said about it!

Old Radnor Church
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 5th Jul 2008
Old Radnor Church submitted by AngieLake on 5th Jul 2008. Tim - this is for you! The old font in Old Radnor church that is believed to come from a megalithic stone - "probably the largest and oldest font in Britain" (quote from an old 'Red Guide' to Wales).
On the day I visited (6th June 08), volunteers were cutting the grass in the churchyard, so maybe that was why the door to the church was open?
