Log Text: Trewortha Kerb cairn is easier to find than most of the nearby cairn because it has a raised kerb of orthostats surrounding an open central cist. This is my favourite cairn on Twelve Men's Moor.

Trippet Stones submitted by thecaptain on 25th Oct 2008. Despite the fact that I have visited the Trippet Stones many times over the years, this is the first time I have been able to take some decent pictures of the stones in the lovely golden setting sunshine.

Log Text: Trippet Stones are one of the most accessible sites in Cornwall. You get a lot of stone circle for a short walk along a path.

Log Text: I accessed Trusty's Hill from Rutherford's Monument but it is normally approched via Vinnie Hill on the outskirts of Gatehouse of Fleet. I found the remains of the hillfort difficult to interpret but the elevated site has panoramic views all round.
Tumiac tumulus

Tumiac tumulus submitted by AlexHunger on 2nd Nov 2004. Tumulus de Tumiac, otherwise known as Butte De Cesar is the first noticeable site on the southerly Presqu’ile de Rhuys, on the way to Arzon. No serious attempt has been to date this large pile of rocks, but it is largely in the state it was in 2050 years ago, when it was first mentioned. Gaius Julius Ceasar allegedly used it as a command post, from which to survey troop movements and fleets while concluding the Gallic wars but it predates his appearance by over 2,000 years. This is a somewhat ...

Log Text: I stumbled across Tumiac Tumulus while waiting for the Petit Mont Cairn to open; Mad dogs and Scotsmen go out in the midday sun. I saw the mound on the horizon and experienced the usual gravitational attraction. A path to Tumiac Tumulus is conveniently located in a lay-by on the E edge of Arzon in a long straight on the D780. The site is closed to the public, a relatively common state of affairs in my experience, so I contented myself with a distant view.
Twelve Apostles (Dumfries)

Twelve Apostles (Dumfries) submitted by Greengirl on 3rd Feb 2020. The complete circle taken from the east end of the field. It's such a large circle that it is difficult to fit it all in one photo!

Log Text: The scale of the Twelve Apostles Stone Circle is impressive. There are however obvious gaps in the circle and an assortment of stones which diminishes its gravitas. That said, it is obviously worth a small detour if you are passing through Dumfries.

Log Text: There is something attractive about an intact cist exposed in a cairn. The isolated location of the cairn probably contributed to its survival.
Two Eggs (N) 02
Date Added: 21st Dec 2022
Site Type: Rock Art
Country: England (Yorkshire (West))
Visited: Yes on 21st Jan 2009. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Two Eggs (N) 02 submitted by Rich32 on 2nd Aug 2019. This photo shows the 'Two Eggs' as found identified on the Ordnance Survey Maps. Both stones have cup-like natural depressions on the upper surface.
It's worth noting, whilst Ilkley Archaeology Group gave the same OS coordinates for the Two Eggs, they photographed completely different stones. Interestingly the stones they photographed are more 'egg-like' in shape. Maybe OS assigned the name to the wrong stones.

Log Text: While I was travelling back home from John O' Groats, I decided to revisit South Yarrows Archaeological Trail with a fresh eye, having 10 years of antiquarian meanderings under my belt. I found that I understood more details of the sites on my revisit. South Yarrows Archaeological Trail is thoroughly recommended!

Warrior's Rest submitted by Anne T on 29th Jun 2015. A close up of the Warrior's Rest east face, but no cup marks that I can see. I wonder if the report of these cups got muddled with the Glebe Stone, just down the road, as I could see two cups on its eastern face.
