An incredible complex of monuments. Dragon Hill was amazing, the wind was roaring over from the East, if felt like the dragon was roaring in my ears! The photo was taken from the white horse, which can be seen in the foreground.

Girdle Stanes

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

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.

Filitosa Central Monument

Site Type: Cairn
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.

This stone is similar to the red sandstone circles found at machrie moor.
Aubrey Burl identifies a possible source for these stones at Auchencar, which is 5 km to the north of machrie moor. If this is the site of the quarry for the machrie moor stones, was this particular stone some sort of marker.
