St Lythans
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (South Glamorgan)
Visited: Yes on 19th Jul 2008
St Lythans submitted by AngieLake on 19th Jul 2008. The 'St Lythans Guardian'.
I first noticed the amazing (and quite spooky) human likeness of this stone in 2002, and it seems even more striking now, on a 2nd visit.
[The hole is the mouth, and two depressions where eyes would be. The rest of the 'body' is about right for size ratio. Was this intended, I wonder?]

Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 9th Aug 2008
Hindwell Enclosure submitted by AngieLake on 9th Aug 2008. NB: Copyright: Rodney Castleden from his book 'Britain 3000 BC'.
I am sure Mr Castleden wouldn't begrudge us the use of this helpful map on p.71 of the above book, to enable us to understand the layout of the various sites in the Walton Basin. He describes this area's prehistory under the heading 'Hindwell - a major ceremonial focus in Wales.'
(Note the Fourstones, upper left.)

NB: I believe the Museum is still closed for refurbishment.

Machrie Moor 10
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Scotland (Isle of Arran)
Visited: Yes on 8th Sep 2008
Machrie Moor 10 submitted by AngieLake on 8th Sep 2008. Stones at the SW of the Moss Farm Road (or Machrie Moor 10) circle. The stone on the left resembles the head and shoulders of a hooded person. It faces into the circle, and towards the NE and Midsummer sunrise. There's a dip in the hills at NE, and my ritual movement dowsing headed out of the circle in that direction. Its inner face also seems to have a circular carving.

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.)

Tormore 2
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: Scotland (Isle of Arran)
Visited: Yes on 9th Sep 2008
Tormore 2 submitted by AngieLake on 9th Sep 2008. Going by my sketch on the day, this view is looking towards a gap in the hills to the NE.
[Checked this site grid ref on www.danu.co.uk/gallery/info/stones/mosscairn.html. Calling it "Moss Farm Cairn", "grid ref NR 90590 32367", they say that it is: "An excavated cairn circle which lies in a field south of trackway to Machrie Moor just west of Moss Farm."
It was definitely between Moss Farm Road Circle and the main Machrie Moor circles.]
