Log Text: as with many such sites it is the excavation drawings that tell the story. It sits in a timescale overlapping with the neolithic saltworks, and 1500 years before the nearby timber 'wossit'

Log Text: the signposting much better now, but the kissing gates are for skinny folk only! there were no livestock in the field. the site is overgrown with nettles and thistles. its 700m from the nearest car park place yes its been demolished 2x and rebuilt but it has a good feel about it. ok the stones may not all be in exactly the original place but its nice to have a RSC with all the stones upright. on a hilltop so feels a bit like Tomnaverie and Aikey.

Log Text: A 'wow' for rock carving afficionados. a perfect site to visit on a rainy day on Arran. The unusual 'lollypops' differ from the usual cup and concentric rings elsewhere.

Sunhoney submitted by krautrock on 30th Jul 2010. Sunhoney Stone Circle. Amazing Recumbent Stone Circle surrounded by big trees.

Log Text: Apart from the toppled over recumbent, Sunhoney has all its stones still standing. The tall pointy ones are to the south and the shorter northern stones are flat square. There is a lot of pink granite in the local field walls.
There are also some grey/green stones outside the western stones, possibly field clearance.

Swinside submitted by AngieLake on 19th Apr 2020. This large block is stone 30 at the South of Swinside circle. It was one of the focal points in a dowse I did there on 19th June 2002, the evening I met Jack Morris Eyton. It was the link with moves 17 and 18 in this plan.

Log Text: Distinctive tall pointed northerly and large squared southerly stones. At some parts of the ring, stones are very close or touching, suggesting that originally it was a solid circle. So it is possible not correct to say it is complete and perfect. To the north east can be seen the peaks of Dunnerdale, ergo you can see Swinside from Dunnerdale fells. There is a good view of the stone circle if you climb up Swinside fell to the west, from where you will also see a grand view of the Lakes peaks, the Dudder estuary, and offshore windmills (sailing just isn’t fun anymore).

Log Text: a long walk uphill 1.5 to 2 hours but worth it. long distance views from the top and very calm inside out of the wind. you can see lots of the vitrification. the small car park is empty at 7am but gets full by about 11. some fools even try and bring massive trailer of bicycles! mind the dog walkers little bags! a popular spot for all types.

Log Text: It's worth walking up the Dunnerdale stickles, just to give a feel for what it was like to go up the high places to get stone for axes. A mini Langdale without the dratted tourists.

Taversoe Tuick submitted by enkidu41 on 6th May 2004. HY 426276
On Rousay this is a two-storied stalled cairn, one of only two known. The round cairn is about 30' in diameter. The lower chamber, reached by a 19' passage, is about 12' long x 5' wide x 5' high, and is divided into 4 cells by upright slabs. The upper chamber, whose floor is the celing of the lower chamber, is reached by an 11' long passage, and is divided into 2 compartments. The cairn is built on a hill so each passage is at ground level, one on the uphill side, the other on the dow...
