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
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
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...

Druids Circle (Penmaenmawr)
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
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.

Hambledon Hill hillfort submitted by AngieLake on 12th Oct 2005. A composite picture of Hambledon Hill, taken from the SE of the hillfort.
(Excuse the difference in tone!)
Sadly, I didn't have time to explore and cattle were roaming freely in its central area, but it was thrilling to see the well-preserved ramparts.

Grimspound
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 5th Nov 2005
Grimspound submitted by AngieLake on 5th Nov 2005. A confused time-traveller fumbles out through the huge portalled gateway of Grimspound settlement on Dartmoor. Will he be swallowed by the mist before he reaches his machine!?? (Will Angie get rapped on the knuckles for posting another gateway picture??) This inside-outside view (the lower pic is looking uphill towards Hameldown Tor - 529m at SE - from inside the protecting walls), gives an idea of the scale of it. Behind our intrepid hero (a 6ft human being from the 21st century, by the na...

Trecastle Mountain ENE
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 6th Nov 2005
Trecastle Mountain ENE submitted by AngieLake on 6th Nov 2005. This stone is the same one featured on this site page by SEM, when he explains how nearby stones seem to form an avenue leading to the main circle at Y Pigwn. Dowsing, when SEM showed me the area at the end of July, confirmed this. This stone (seen here looking across the NW avenue route towards NE) actually dowsed as the left-hand one of a pair of huge portals at the beginning of flatter ground on which the circle stands. The other huge stone used to stand near the tussock of grass above it i...

Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 6th Nov 2005
Grey Mare and her Colts submitted by AngieLake on 6th Nov 2005. The fallen stone of the facade of Grey Mare and Her Colts, with field gate not too far away for escape route when the cows come running, as they did when I visited! In the distance there are several hillforts. I managed a visit to one - Eggardon - later that day in May.

Site Type: Henge
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 6th Nov 2005
Knowlton Rings submitted by AngieLake on 6th Nov 2005. This area of the henge seemed very mystical, probably an original entrance between the two yew trees when the church was in use?

Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 6th Nov 2005
Corringdon Ball Tomb submitted by AngieLake on 6th Nov 2005. Corringdon Ball long barrow looking approximately NE - East. In the far right of the pic are the two pillars of Ball Gate (as marked on the OS map). A footpath runs NW-SE down that lane, around the curve of Corringdon Ball hill. If you trace a line NW from South Brent on the OS map, you will find it.

Temple Wood S

Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Scotland (Argyll)
Visited: Yes on 12th Nov 2005
Temple Wood S submitted by AngieLake on 12th Nov 2005. Temple Wood on a sunny day in 2002. The central cist below, and all the stone arrangements immediately around it looked too neat, somehow. Just part of an amazing area of megalithic sites running SSW/NNE through the Kilmartin Glen in Argyll.
