Log Text: The stones are easily accessed with two standing in a field still in use and the third just across the road. The close alignment is clearly visible. Worth the visit.

Charles De Gaulle Obelisk submitted by martinjeley on 10th Nov 2014. The view of the reverse side of the Obelisk is in contrast to the smooth sides presented to the street. It reminds of the masonic symbolism of the rough stone yet to shaped.

Log Text: An interesting site in itself it is made more interesting because of its relationship to the Rollright Stones themselves.
A little trivia: The "latin" inscription on the nearby bench reads "ORE STABIT FORTIS ARARE PLACET ORE STAT" but a Google search reveals that it is really "O rest a bit for 'tis a rare place to rest at".

King Stone at the Rollrights submitted by enkidu41 on 30th Apr 2004. SP 297308
One of the Rollright Stones group, this extremely weathered 8' high stone is 300' away from the King's Men stone circle. It may have been connected with a destroyed Neolithic cairn.

Rollright Stones submitted by JimChampion on 17th Feb 2005. February 2005. A worms-eye view looking north into the King's Men circle. Lovely winter morning sunshine on a somewhat eerie site.

Log Text: The stones are stunning because of their somewhat unusual appearance. The circle still presents a good sense of the importance of the site. We visited the day after the Druid celebration of the autumn equinox. A labyrinth had been laid using bird seed and it served very well in identifying the main axis, as shown in the photo that I have uploaded.

Mottistone Common Bowl Barrow submitted by ringpaw on 27th Aug 2007. Pick your way to the barrow through heather, gorse (& bees) from a gravel trackway. August is the time to catch the heather.

Log Text: Although the seasonal coverage prevented a good view of the mound the panorama was excellent with the hills opening up to the sea. It is very easy to see the value of this site from here.

Long Stone (IOW) submitted by Avaloniaspirit on 17th Oct 2007. The Long Stone is a place that I have visited on many occasions and I have taken shed loads of photos but this one is probably one of my favs...lol though it does look a bit phallic looking from this angle!
The closest village is Mottistone and unlless you are up to a hike then I wouldn't park by Mottistone Manor. The best place to go is up Strawberry lane(theres a interesting house on the corner which is actually the National Trusts office) Go past the driveway for the house and a little wa...

Kerlescan Alignements submitted by thecaptain on 18th Oct 2004. Kerlescan Alignements, northeast of Carnac, Brittany.
This picture was taken looking east in 1987, when wandering amongst the stones was OK. I think many of them have been fenced off to try and combat erosion these days. I must go back sometime.

Log Text: These alignments show converging lines which distinguishes them from the other main alignments. The ability to experiment and build on this scale is still hard to appreciate today.

View of the Ménec alignements as they were in summer 1987, when you could walk amongst them before they were fenced off, and with an awful lot of erosion going on around them.

Log Text: These alignments have many of the larger stones in this complex. It is hard to imagine the level of commitment required to establish this site. My only regret is that we visited in September when direct access to walk among the stones is not available, at this alignment and others.
