Chestnuts
Date Added: 15th Aug 2015
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Kent)
Visited: Yes. My rating: Ambience 2 Access 5
Chestnuts submitted by enkidu41 on 8th Apr 2004. The stones are massive (the 2 capstones and some uprights weigh up to 10 tons) and once formed a rectangular chamber 12' long and 7' high entered through a facade of sarsen stones. The owner will suggest you try dowsing rods. Do so, because you will be able to trace out the full extent of the chamber and long gone mound. TQ 652 592

Grotte de Mas D'Azil
Date Added: 15th Aug 2015
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter

Visited: Yes on 1st Jul 2013. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 4 Access 5
Grotte de Mas D'Azil submitted by thecaptain on 13th Dec 2003. The southern, upstream, entrance to the magnificent cave at Mas D'Azil, Ariege, southwest France.
The river takes a shortcut through the hillside here, and has created a massive cave, which is so big that a fairly large road also runs through the cave.
Within this cave were found signs of life going back tens of thousands of years, and indeed the world famous Faon aux Oiseaux spear thrower. The finds here gave the name Azilian to an entire prehistoric culture.

Visited: Yes on 1st Jun 2014. My rating: Ambience 3 Access 1
Coed Ynys Faen submitted by pab on 12th Apr 2007. Coed Ynys-faen, Stone 2or3, embedded in bank.
This close-up of the stone in the bank of the track shows it to be remarkably intact and erect considering the proximity of the Forestry track - but perhaps I am being unduly cynical
The height from earth to top on the outer face was approx 1.1m. RCAHMW described Stone 2 as "An erect monolith, 0.84m high by 0.64m by 0.51m, possibly destroyed by falling trees" in 1981, so it would be an amazing rediscovery and recovery for the stone in the p...

Stanton Drew - Avenue
Date Added: 14th Aug 2015
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes
Stanton Drew - Avenue submitted by TimPrevett on 18th Aug 2006. For evidence of the avenue, go past the NE circle, and look for the linear earthwork. The line is visible here on the LH corner of the picture; the group is on another part of the earthwork. Looking on the aerial pics, and on the ground, this can be traced from 3 o'clock to 12 o'clock outside the Great and NE circles. I did have an excellent picture of this from the ground, but have accidentally overwritten it!
