St Lythans Burial Chamber is a highly accurate tool for determining the Winter Calendar and making this stunning Arrowhead light-beam at Midsummer.

The 3 stones in the background are probably the remains of the crescentic forecourt of a chambered long barrow similar to Grey Mare & Her Colts. The centre stone is nearly 6'6" high. The stones in the foreground lie to the west and may be the end stones of the forecourt.

Hellstone submitted by TimPrevett on 28th Jun 2018. First light at the Hellstone 22nd June 2018. A perishing cold morning courtesy of a strong northerly breeze. Photo taken on iPhone SE.
Access is now via the main Ridgeway Path to the north. Park in layby, walk past the farm buildings on the left, follow the signage to the main path, across a field boundary, head downhill, then a steep step-over stone stile on the right hand side (south) takes you along to the dolmen.

Drizzlecombe menhir 2 submitted by TheCaptain on 13th Jun 2007. This magnificent menhir at the downhill end of row 2 (or C) at Drizzlecombe is the largest on Dartmoor, and said to be "by far the finest in the west of England".
I wouldnt argue with that.

A nice neat little stone circle on the moors below Belstone Tor on the common to the south of the village of Belstone, Devon. This circle is almost certainly the remains of a round burial cairn, and traces of the burial chamber can be seen within the circle.
This is a view looking north

Nine Stones (Dorset) submitted by JimChampion on 31st Dec 2004. Boxing Day 2004. Composite image. A bright sunny morning, but the trees keep this little circle in the shade. Only eight stones are visible: the ninth is being engulfed by the roots of the large beech tree on the left of the picture.

Log Text: the access through the field next to the 'little chef' which is looong gone and is now a car dealership is currently not possible due to National Power building something, so I had to walk along the road, past the site, then double back through the small bit of woodland. Easy enough, but there is no pavement on the road and it's very busy, so be careful.

Rolstone submitted by TheCaptain on 20th Jan 2018. Near Cannaway's Farm, this stone stands in the middle of a field.
Apologies for awful picture. It was a miserable wet and misty day, and the batteries on my camera had died, so this was taken from the fieldgate on my phone.

Log Text: Just a single stone, access is via hopping over a gate into the field. I cycled here as it's not far from where I live, but theres a few wider parts of the road you could probably park in.
Lots of quartz in the stone.
