Log Text: A mixture of natural & post medieval holes, very unlikely to be prehistoric due to shape & size of stones into which they are set & the general setting itself.

Cow and Calf Rocks
Date Added: 16th Jan 2017
Site Type: Rock Outcrop
Country: England (Yorkshire (West))
Visited: Yes
Cow and Calf Rocks submitted by andy_h on 10th Nov 2003. The most prominent landmark for miles around. There are no visible megalithic remains at this huge rock outcrop, but local folklore refers to this being a place worthy of strong consideration.
I've always found it a little strange that as the most prominent landmark for miles around, the Cow n' Calf didn't bear any cup n' ring marks as they can be found both to the left and the right of the outcrop. It is possible that any that may have been on the rock could have been lost under the onslaugh...

Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: Scotland (Argyll)
Visited: Yes on 1st Aug 2014
St Columba's Well (Southend) submitted by KiwiBetsy on 8th Oct 2006. The church, cemetery, well and footprint lie on the north side of the minor road to the Mull of Kintyre … about two miles past Southend. The well lies about 20 yards northwest of the northwest corner of the ruined church. The easiest way to reach it is to park in the cemetery carpark and walk around the next corner (heading to the Mull of Kintyre). Just around the bend is a signed path to the footprint. Take this path past the foot print and you will come to the well on your left just by the p...

The Braaid
Date Added: 16th Jan 2017
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Channel Islands and Isle of Man (Isle of Man)
Visited: Yes
The Braaid submitted by howe on 26th Aug 2010. The site consists of three structures, one circular the others rectangular. Excavated in 1935 and 1962, the circular structure has been suggested as a Bronze Age stone circle, the structure of which was incorporated in a round house, the earliest phase being estimated as Iron Age. It may have been re-modelled when the other structures were built. These consist of a boat-shaped Norse hall and outbuilding, both of which had stones side walls and timber gables.
