Log Text: a prominent position on the hill with a superb views over the islands, and it lines up with the Setter stone and Mill loch cairn down the hill. it was very damp and there was a fine mist or dust in the chambers. The corbelled side cells are quite large compared to Wideford and Cuween. One side cell had water in.

Huntersquoy Chambered Cairn submitted by shogbits on 24th Feb 2006. Huntersquoy Chambered Cairn. Apparently this is a two storey construction. I would have liked to have gone inside but the entrance was tiny and full of water at the time.

I was on a minibus trip round Eday when I insisted on jumping out to take a picture of this; even though it was very misty. The other 6 people stayed firmly on the bus, although this was one of Eday's 'sights'. But despite the mist, I got a nice picture.

Gatcombe Lodge

Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 25th Jul 2022. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 3
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.

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.
