Creeg Tol
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Rock Outcrop
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Mar 2004
Creeg Tol submitted by AngieLake on 22nd Mar 2004. Creeg Tol - Barrow Hole"- (SW411277) a small, possibly modern circle (if old, would have maybe been a cairn circle). NW of Boscawen Un, just off the footpath on the way back to the main road layby- (Not towards farm!) . Tucked away amongst the bracken, below large rocks with unusually shaped basins ("The Giant's Footprints"). Boscawen Un is clearly seen from the tops of these towards the SE. The tallest stone is only about 2ft high, and there is a smallish white quartz stone at 260 deg.

St Seiriol's Well submitted by AngieLake on 5th Aug 2004. I visited this lovely well on 9th May 2003, almost at the end of two wonderful days spent touring the megaliths of Anglesey. It was a really peaceful place, with beautiful views and picturesque buildings.

Men Scryfa submitted by AngieLake on 19th Aug 2004. Angie at Men Scryfa - approx 2.30pm on 9th March 2004.
(I am 5'4" for comparison.) The carved Roman letters were reasonably clear then. In the distance is the amusingly-named 'Ding Dong' mine, and behind me, the wall bordering the lane between the stile-access to Men an Tol and the open moorland leading to Boskednan (Nine Maidens) circle. Because the lane can get very muddy in this area, the boots were very welcome!
All the fields around here are bordered with walls of stones that looked as...

The Longstone (Shovel Down)
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 14th Sep 2004
The Longstone (Shovel Down) submitted by AngieLake on 14th Sep 2004. This lovely megalith is known as The Longstone and stands on the eastern slopes of Shovel Down at SX660857. A north/south avenue leads directly to it. Kes Tor, seen in the background, is NE of the Longstone. There are numerous stone rows in the vicinity, and Scorhill circle is not far away to the northeast.
According to Richard Cavendish's book 'Prehistoric England' (Artus Books, Orion Publishing 1983):
"SW of Kes Tor, on Shovel Down, SX660860, are stone rows leading to burial cairns and a 10...

Bleasdale submitted by AngieLake on 14th Sep 2004. This is the (north?)western half of Bleasdale wooden circle. My brother is 6'1" tall, for comparison.
This is a rare timber circle, where the posts have been replaced by concrete markers.

Derreenataggart
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Ireland (Republic of) (Co. Cork)
Visited: Yes on 16th Sep 2004
Derreenataggart submitted by AngieLake on 16th Sep 2004. Here's another view of the circle near Castletownbere, on the Beara Peninsula in West Cork. The spelling on the brown pointer notice board at the site was 'Derrintaggart West', but in the Discovery Map series it is referred to as Derreenataggart. It is a beautiful site that I hope to return to one day: one of the hundreds of megalithic sites that litter the Beara Peninsula.

Callanish I submitted by AngieLake on 25th Sep 2004. I know you have loads of Callanish, but I do like this pic of the tallest stone in the main Callanish circle.
It was taken in July 2001

Penrhos-Feilw
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 25th Sep 2004
Penrhos-Feilw submitted by AngieLake on 25th Sep 2004. The two tall stones and their shadows viewed from another angle, showing the proximity of the farm house beside the lane, close to which I'd parked in a small layby. This was taken one gloriously sunny evening in May 2002. The views over Trearddur Bay are stunning, and I would guess that the distant hills must be on the Lleyn Peninsula, on the south side of Caernarfon Bay. This site is actually on Holy Island, but joined to Anglesey (Ynys Mon) by several roads.

Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 11th Oct 2004
St John's Well (Morwenstow) submitted by AngieLake on 11th Oct 2004. Lovely situation, tucked away in a leafy dell, on the edge of an orchard. Access signposted from lane. Just across the lane from the 'gated' end of the churchyard path at Morwenstow - famous poet-priest, Hawker's - church. (A level path runs through the churchyard, just above the entrance gate to the drive of the Vicarage. There is a plan of the area opposite the main gateway to the church, near the tearooms and carpark.) Approach down overgrown steps fringed by fronds of ferns.

Merrivale Menhir submitted by AngieLake on 12th Oct 2004. Merrivale on the day before the official autumnal equinox last month. This is the tall standing stone that stands near the circle in the SW of the Merrivale complex. The sun had just set, I would say this was approximately 7.30pm.

Trowlesworthy
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Barrow Cemetery
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 14th Oct 2004
Ringmoor Down stone circle submitted by AngieLake on 14th Oct 2004. This stone - looking like an electric iron, poised for use, is almost opposite the other unusual stone in Ernar's Trowlesworthy circle. It does make you think that these were especially chosen for their shapes, and begs the questions, "Why?", and, "Were they in this actual position for a reason?""
