Machrie Moor 10
Date Added: 13th May 2023
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Scotland (Isle of Arran)
Visited: Yes on 10th May 2023. My rating: Condition 2 Access 3
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.

Log Text: a lovely little 6 stone ring, that really demonstrates that the neolithic/bronze age was not all about massive fancy sites involving lots of people. the small sites emphasise the personal, a small group of people enacting possibly the same belief system as elsewhere. The stone hexagon at Fancarl top is a fantastic example of a 6 stoner, the most basic of the form, but the spectacular location gives it gravitas. A larger earthfast plus 5 added stones, three stones are cubic blocks. South is dominated by the hills and crags of Simon seat, and Burnstall fell. Looking west you can see the hillsides of Dumpit stone ring and Yarnbury henge 3 1/2 miles away.

Gatcombe Lodge submitted by thecaptain on 24th Mar 2009. Having read several tales of people being stopped and questioned by rapidly arriving police here, I didn’t spend long, and just took a photo from the entry to the estate.
It looks to be the regular shapeless lumpy bumpy mess covered in trees.

Log Text: site is fenced and has mature trees grown on it. these will have destroyed much of the internal structure. Gatcombe is a royal residence with security staff so it is not advisable to go on the land, and there's nout to see anyway.

Cubbie Roo's Burden submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Aug 2006. The remaining mound of Cubbie Roo's Burden, a chambered cairn, as viewed from the roadside. The purpose of my visit to Orkney was to recce most of the major sites, but in true megarak spirit, I had to look at or at least photo any 'lesser' monuments I passed. This was one of them.
