White Hag submitted by nicoladidsbury on 29th Mar 2004.
White Hag Hill Stone Circle
The circle has eleven stones, and an outlier. It sits on the hillside above an enclosed area containing earth banks, looking very much like an abandoned hillfort, although there is nothing marked on the OS map. Also a fantastic ancient spring called "Kings Well".

Girdle Stanes
Date Added: 4th Feb 2011
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Scotland (Dumfries and Galloway)
Visited: Yes on 31st Mar 2004
Girdle Stanes submitted by nicoladidsbury on 31st Mar 2004. This is an evocative large stone circle, surrounded by ancient hawthorn trees which are covered in large lichen. Half the circle has been eroded by the river running by leaving only a semi circle. The stones stand on a low earth bank. Close by are the Loupin Stanes. We visited this circle on a beautiful hot day in summer, there was no one else around, it was a very peaceful place to be. To see images please visit my website www.northernfells.co.uk

Little Meg submitted by nicoladidsbury on 4th Apr 2004. Photo taken with a zoom lens from the field gate. I liked the way the circle seems to nestle at the edge of the field, overshadowed by conifers.

Cratcliff Rocks

Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 6th Apr 2004
Cratcliff Rocks submitted by nicoladidsbury on 6th Apr 2004. Cratcliff Rocks Defended Settlement.
This photo was taken from Nine Stones Close. The setting sun lit the rocks with a spectactular red light. The settlement is a jumble of rocks, but man made walls can clearly still be seen. When I visited the site, I didn't realise it was a settlement, it is not marked as such on the OS map. I need to go back! Grid Ref:SK227623

Appletreewick stone circle is definately worth visiting - the views are fantastic. When we went there, there were diving, crying Lapwings shouting at us to be careful of their nests. It really added to the atmosphere.

Country: France (Corsica:Corse-Sud (2A))
Visited: Yes on 9th Jun 2004
Filitosa Central Monument submitted by nicoladidsbury on 9th Jun 2004. Corsica
On road D57 north of Propriano
Filitosa, the mysterious, and most celebrated prehistoric site on Corsica. There are six menhir statues aligned on the central monument, with steps leading up to the highest point. This enclosure is thought to have been a temple. The statues have carved human faces, wearing helmets and some carry weapons. In fact some of the statues are very phallic, and its suggested they may have been used to encourage fertility of the land.

Devil's Arrows submitted by nicoladidsbury on 27th Jul 2004. Devils Arrows, Boroughbridge; SE391665
These are incredibly tall stones. I found myself wondering how deep into the the ground they go. This picture shows all three stone, but the third stone is hidden in the shadows of the trees in the distance.
Beautiful stones well worth the diversion off the A1.
