Nether Largie standing stone
Date Added: 27th Mar 2016
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Scotland (Argyll)
Visited: Yes
Nether Largie standing stone submitted by caradoc68 on 18th Aug 2012. This standing stone is in the middle of a field, a short distance of the footpath. The farmer does not like you being there and might put a angry looking bull in the field to put visitors off. Cant find a lot written about this stone or why it seems to be leaning at 45 degrees and pointing to the southeast.

Kemp Howe submitted by nicoladidsbury on 29th Mar 2004. This is the remains of what must have been a beautiful stone circle. The stones are pink granite and have a lovely glow. Unfortunately the ambience has been shattered by the "wonderful" victorians, who built the railway on top of it.

Kingston Russell Circle
Date Added: 26th Mar 2016
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes
Kingston Russell Circle submitted by JimChampion on 31st Dec 2004. Boxing Day 2004. Composite image, taken shortly after noon looking south-west. The field is currently being used as pasture, which means that access is muddy but at least the circle is not lost in crops. Lyme bay can be seen in the distance, and Abbotsbury hill-fort to the left of this.

Hangman's Stone (Northleach) submitted by thecaptain on 14th Jan 2007. Is this the remains of a burial chamber from a longbarrow ? Is it a fallen menhir ? Is it a more modern boundary stone ? Is it the remnants of a hangmans gibbet ?
I don't know, but to me it could easily be the remains of a burial chamber.

Tyle Bychan submitted by sem on 12th Mar 2005. Not very picturesque and like many stones ruined by the agriculture going on around them. However it does have one saving grace - Fan Brycheiniog is visible from here.
