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*

King Arthur's Hall submitted by AngieLake on 15th Jul 2005.
Blessed by lovely weather, my visit to this strange site was enhanced by the cloud of fluffy white bog cotton dancing in the breeze. This view looks diagonally back towards the entrance gate, with Roughtor behind me in the distance, at 38degs from the largest pointed stone near to the camera. Note the way the two large pointed stones stick up on the 'west' side of the site. The tallest of these aligns at 109degs with Roughtor. It struck me how much the three of them (with a shorter one bet...

Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Oxfordshire)
Visited: Yes on 4th Jul 2005
Rollright Stones submitted by AngieLake on 4th Jul 2005. Rollright Monster??? This weird stone would look good in 'War of the Worlds'! On my first visit, I was stunned by the shapes of some of these gnarled and twisted stones. Here are two views of the tallest of the 'King's Men', taken after the Cotswold Pagans' ceremony on 19th June 2005.

Tolvan
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Holed Stone
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 5th Jun 2005
Tolvan submitted by AngieLake on 5th Jun 2005. The view through the hole in the Tolvan Stone at Tolvan Cross near Gweek. The sun shines through this one - orientated to approx WNW - on 9th June every year. This may not mean anything, as it was apparently moved to this site, in 1847, from the field to its east, where it possibly formed the entrance to a burial chamber. See site page for further details.

Robin Hood's Stride
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Rock Outcrop
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 22nd May 2005
Robin Hood's Stride submitted by AngieLake on 22nd May 2005. This stone caught my eye as I was climbing the east side of the hill towards Robin Hood's stride. (Following the footpath uphill, after parking in a slight layby beside the north/south road (Alport to Elton?) between Stanton Moor and Robin Hood's Stride.) The stone is well to the left of the path, over halfway up the hill. It looks as if it may have been used as a gatepost at some time.

St. Brannoc's Holy Well (Braunton) submitted by AngieLake on 23rd Mar 2005. St.Brannoc's Holy Well in Braunton, north Devon, is formed by a spring that runs into an almost heart-shaped pool. Nearby is a modern chapel built on the site of a medieval chapel, and probably an even older one preceded that.

Carn Euny Fogou

Site Type: Souterrain (Fogou, Earth House)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Jan 2005
Carn Euny Fogou submitted by AngieLake on 2nd Jan 2005. The 'Beehive Hut' in Carn Euny's Fogou. The patch of sunshine through a grille (see Jim Champion's excellent arty picture of 1.1.05) is visible far right. This gives some daylight to what would otherwise be quite an eerie place. It is believed to have been the first structure built on this site, and the fogou was created later. Because of this, it is thought that the SE-facing doorway of this chamber once allowed the midwinter rising sun to shine through it an hour or so after dawn, thus ill...
