Twelve Apostles (Yorks) submitted by DavidRaven on 2nd Nov 2003. A stunning location! 12 apostles taken 25 October 2003. It looked like someone had lent a helping hand; several of the stones are propped up by smaller rocks at the base.

Great Skirtful of Stones
Date Added: 2nd Jan 2021
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Yorkshire (West))
Visited: Yes on 26th Sep 2020. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 3
Great Skirtful of Stones submitted by DavidRaven on 9th Jul 2003. A massive cairn near the Grubstones circle. It sits in a very exposed part of the moor, over 1150 feet above sea level, overlooking the Wharfe valley. A fallen stone lies in the centre of the 'crater', like a recumbent menhir - though it may be nothing of the sort.

Log Text: i parked up the road in an empty farm yard. it's about a km walk from there, along an old track (don't block this). no gates. the site is more overgrown than old photos, but someone cuts the grass now and then. Take care as it is lumpy stones under the long grass. The stones seem to be local rock, as i saw several red granite, quartz and mica encrusted stones in the field walls and clearance dumps. quite an exotic feel.
the stones are verging on monumental. a red granite west and quartz east. the west flanker is quartz and the recumbent's top is a fat quartz vein. other stones are notable for their 'pointy' ness.

Log Text: fortuitous meeting with a geologist there-almost all the stones are of similar igneous, typical 'granite' type. Two are finer grained with striations, and the 'jasper' stone is a very different type, probably slower cooling. Views of the peak of Bennache to WNW.

Log Text: the 3.2m quartz outer is an imposing stone. lichen does not seem to grow on quartz, so it is bare rock. The landowner is very proud of it and said that in the full moonlight the stone gleams. it would have been a beacon from afar.

Loanhead Of Daviot submitted by Suncircle49 on 23rd Aug 2022. 19/06/2019 08.41: A beautiful sunny morning, perfect for flying a drone. The aerial photos showed clearly the shadow in the slit of the recumbent, ending midway along its length. However, what was interesting was the shadows of the standing stones which touched the inner ring of the RSC. The next morning at Easter Aquhorthies I saw similar shadows.

Tyrebagger

Tyrebagger submitted by Suncircle49 on 15th Aug 2022. Collection of photos of the recumbent 16-21/6/19: Canmore describes Tyrebagger with ‘a fallen recumbent’, but my first impressions, it’s a ‘Dolmen’. The recumbent and its flanker’s are very different to any existing RSC in Aberdeenshire. Its alternative name DYCE which is very similar to DYSSE meaning ‘Dolmen’. A recumbent on stone mounts…. a Dolmen?
