Samson, South Hill submitted by Thorgrim on 2nd Jul 2003. The now uninhabited island of Samson contains dozens of entrance graves and cairns.

Samson, North Hill submitted by howe on 19th Jul 2010. Probable entrance grave on North Hill. Due to the fact that they are overgrown and derelict, most of the sites are difficult to distinguish from the many rocky outcrops

Samson Hill, Bryher submitted by Thorgrim on 8th Aug 2004. Massive kerbstones surround this grave. This view looks across the sea to Tresco. During the Bronze Age and beyond the Roman occupation, the area covered by sea would have been fertile fields. At that time, there was one main island only.

Nornour
Date Added: 25th Jun 2012
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: England (Isles of Scilly)
Visited: Would like to visit
Nornour submitted by Thorgrim on 4th Nov 2003. The island of Nornour (SV 944147) is less than four acres in size and is joined to Great Ganilly at low tide. Yet the excavations of the early '70's revealed the remains of a major settlement which was occupied from the middle of the Bronze Age to the Romano-British Iron Age. Nornour clearly reveals the effects of rising sea levels, as this tiny scrap of land could never have supported such a thriving community. Many more houses are doubtless lost beneath the sea and right up until Tudor ...

Normandy Down
Date Added: 25th Jun 2012
Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: England (Isles of Scilly)
Visited: Would like to visit
Normandy Down submitted by paulcall on 31st Oct 2006. A view of the delapidated easterly entrance grave looking north towards St Martin's. This grave gets trodden on a lot, as it is not normally covered in scrub like the other two. There are more stones to be seen here, but they are rather a jumble.

Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Would like to visit
Stoney Littleton submitted by TheCaptain on 18th Mar 2005. Stoney Littleton barrow viewed from the west.
Its a cracking little barrow, with the most wonderful passage and chambers inside, and the powers that be have even left a decent sized area around it free of any farming activity. A lovely sunny day, but some of the walk to the barrow was horrendously muddy.
The fields around the barrow had recently been ploughed, a crop of beet of some sort having been the last grown. While walking back after my visit, I found a bit of the lovely golden colou...
