Farley Mount
Date Added: 12th Oct 2021
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Hampshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 1970. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 3
Farley Mount submitted by JimChampion on 29th May 2005. May 2005. The mound and obelisk from the southwest. Not all sources agree as to whether this mound was originally a round barrow or not. There are many other round barrows in the surrounding area, but if this was a barrow it must have been made much more prominent when it was turned into the grave for a lucky 18th century horse: it currently has a Silbury-esque gradient.

Rhyl Gorsedd Circle
Date Added: 22nd Jun 2016
Site Type: Modern Stone Circle etc
Country: Wales (Denbighshire)

Rhyl Gorsedd Circle submitted by MartinJEley on 22nd Jun 2016. The complete circle.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: The site is a simple circle in good condition with easy access. I found it unusual in that it has 11 equally spaced upright stones with a 12th smaller stone placed midway between two stones. The 12th stone aligns with the centre of the circle, where there is a recumbent stone, and the diagonally opposite stone. The direction of this line appears to be generally North East or towards the mid-summer sunrise.
I did not find any posted information at the site. Current photos will be uploaded.

Log Text: The Nazca Lines were viewed by aircraft, flying from Pisco Airport near Paracas. The pilot showed us all the main glyphs, often banking steeply to give us a good view. Photographs do not easily do justice to the impressive designs.

Log Text: The Candelabra is viewed by boat, in our case during a trip to the nearby Ballestas Islands. It certainly looks to me like a representation of the Southern Cross Constellation?

Visited: Yes on 15th Apr 2016. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 3 Access 5
Qenko submitted by Michelledubois on 11th Oct 2011. Near Cuzco is at a site called Qenqo, which is a monstrous rock all carved out with tunnels inside, and the whole upper surface is a maze of sculpted surfaces. The stone is andesite. The "thing" in this photo creates a perfect Puma head shadow 2 times a year. Nobody knows its true purpose.
