St Dennis Hill Fort
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 19th Jul 2005
St Dennis Hill Fort submitted by AngieLake on 19th Jul 2005. The interior of St Dennis Dinas, or Dynas, meaning Hill fort. Today it is the churchyard of St Dennis church. Here the path leads off to a break in the west side of the rugged wall where two old well-worn steps lead into the area. Craig Weatherall, in his book Cornovia, tells us that the line of the inner bank of the fort, which may have been stone-built, is followed by the current churchyard wall. It was the most atmospheric churchyard I'd ever had the pleasure to visit, and was enhanced by...

Kenidjack Common holed stones
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 19th Jul 2005
Kenidjack Common holed stones submitted by AngieLake on 19th Jul 2005. Described as Kenidjack Holed Stones in Ian McNeil Cooke's book, Journey to the Stones, this was my first view late afternoon (slightly dull then), looking approximately west from the largest one towards the other two that remain standing. Apparently they were re-erected after the mid-19th century.

Duloe
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 19th Jul 2005
Duloe submitted by AngieLake on 19th Jul 2005. This huge dramatic stone in the south of Duloe circle was constantly haunting me as I surveyed and dowsed this lovely circle (why only 3 for ambience?) one sunny early evening at the end of May 2005. I was convinced someone else was there, just out of the corner of my eye, but it was the almost-human shape of this stone - like some kind of ancient priest in a billowing robe! In the left half of this double pic, where 'he''s facing us, you can almost decipher a face and headdress too. On the righ...

St Piran's Cross
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 19th Jul 2005
St Piran's Cross submitted by AngieLake on 19th Jul 2005. Not the easiest cross to find, but well-worth it. I believe I read that this is the only three-holed cross in Cornwall, but it looks to me as if it just wasn't finished. This close-up was taken in June 2005, one sunny evening. Harder to find was nearby St Piran's Lost Oratory, now buried and marked with a slab of granite. From this cross, head towards the huge modern cross on the sand-dunes. The sprawling campsite at Perranporth spoils the views here.

To the right of pic is one of the larger stones in the WNW arc.

Hurston Ridge
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 14th Aug 2005
Hurston Ridge submitted by AngieLake on 14th Aug 2005. This is the lower end of the long Hurston Ridge avenue, showing how the stones turn towards another angle (19 degs) as they approach the blocking stone. Standing back beside the straight side of the avenue, looking up its length, I measured the orientation of the avenue to be 198 degs, yet there seemed to be a definite turn in this end of it. If you stand behind the stone at far left and look towards the blocking stone, you will see it aligns with Kes Tor rock at 375 degs.

Browne’s Hill
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Portal Tomb
Country: Ireland (Republic of) (Co. Carlow)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Aug 2005
Browne’s Hill submitted by AngieLake on 22nd Aug 2005. Browneshill Dolmen photographed in July 1999. This huge capstone is the heaviest in Europe, weighing about 150 tons according to the site noticeboard. The brown heritage noticeboard at the layby next to the R726 (find it on the right opposite a garage, about 2 miles outside Carlow going east) has the Irish name too: 'Dolman Chnoc an Bhrunaigh' and the English 'Brownshill Dolmen' underneath. (The spellings vary locally). There is gate here and a fenced lane leading to the dolmen, which you can...

Holywell Bay

Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 12th Sep 2005
Holywell Bay submitted by AngieLake on 12th Sep 2005. "Sunset and evening star and one clear call for me......"
I would like to dedicate this Holywell Bay sunset to all those poor souls who perished in 'Nine Eleven'. If the Earth lasts out for another four thousand years someone might be investigating what our generation did, and what monuments we left behind. The former 'Twin Towers' of Manhattan, and the ensuing 'Ground Zero' would be well-documented, but I wonder how they will access their historic records then? Meanwhile, to help to ensur...

Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 7th Oct 2005
Druids Circle (Penmaenmawr) submitted by AngieLake on 7th Oct 2005. The view north east across Conway Bay towards Llandudno. The Druids Circle is one of the most beautifully-situated circles I've visited, and well-worth the walk. Is it possible to 'fall in love' with a circle? Well I did with this one!

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.
