Aspers Field submitted by baz on 26th Apr 2003. This stone (at NY558152) lies in the next field to the more well known Goggleby Stone (NY559151), from which I took this picture (with zoom). Both of these stones form a part of the Shap Stone Avenue.

Broomrigg A submitted by rich32 on 22nd Jul 2004. Broomrigg A, Cumbria (NY548467)
The Broomrigg sites are set in a pine plantation and are near to a track This image shows part of Broomrigg ‘A’, it was quite difficult to get more in the shot due to the trees. I also found Broomrigg ‘B’, but gave up on ‘C’ & ‘D’ due to eating too many flies (protein or no protein not nice) and a dodgy GPS signal.

Langstane (Orkney) submitted by SandyG on 17th Sep 2015. Given its proximity to the road and cottage what are the chances that this stone is prehistoric and if so that it is its original location particularly as it has clearly at some time been broken in half and put back together (3rd June 2015).

The stones appear to denote the edges of narrow, parallel banks which are on the same alignment as the lazy beds in this area. Whilst the reason why the banks in this area were denoted with edge set stones is not clear, it is possible to be confident that this is not a prehistoric stone alignment. The adjacent cairn may be the result of field clearance.

Log Text: This is not an easy row to get to. The nearest car parking spot is at NM 43350 52269. From here you can either head northward along forest tracks or head back into the village of Dervaig and walk along the road that leads beside Loch a’Chumhainn. When visited in 2016 I chose to walk to the row through the forest and returned alongside the loch. The route via the village is probably the easiest. A map and or reliable GPS device is essential or else the chances of getting hopelessy lost are high.
Eyre Stone Rows

Eyre Stone Rows submitted by SandyG on 6th Jan 2018. Length of field boundary previously identified as a double stone row. View from south east (Scale 1m).
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: The feature described in Canmore forms part of a field boundary that extends further west to NG 57452 34870. The length that was previously described is hidden by bracken making photography difficult in the summer months. The features described are however all discernible. The pairs of stones described are almost touching and represent two sides of an incomplete wall. Walls of this type are present in the vicinity and it was probably intended that the wall would have butted a nearby field boundary at around NG 57541 34821. This is definitely a field boundary and not a stone row.
Blanefield
Date Added: 6th Jan 2018
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment

Visited: Yes on 26th Aug 2017. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 5 Access 3
Blanefield submitted by Creative Commons on 16th Mar 2014. Duntreath Standing Stones. The line of stones shown here is located at the high point of a field, not far from the West Highland Way (the tops of these stones can be seen on the skyline from the adjacent section of that route). The hill that is prominent in the background is Dumgoyach.
Five stones can be seen in the photograph; another lies hidden by the tall grass between the leftmost two stones.

Log Text: Limited car parking is available at NS 53342 79669. From here walk north along the West Highland Way to NS 53280 80509 and take the path leading north.
A radio-carbon date of 2860 +/- 270 bc suggests that it was erected in the Middle Neolithic period. The Middle Neolithic date combined with the closeness of the stones and the presence of an associated mound suggests that this is more likely to represent the remnants of a chambered cairn facade than a stone row.

Torhousekie Stones East submitted by vicky on 29th Oct 2002. The ruined stone row near Torhousekie stone circle.

Log Text: This line of stones is probably entirely the result of field clearance. The largest stone at the northern end clearly sits on top of stones similar in size to those which lie in a line parallel to the field wall. The proximity of the stone circle has probably influenced the interpretation of this site as prehistoric. Whilst a prehistoric date cannot be wholly discounted the feature as a whole has the appearance of being the result of field clearance.

Log Text: Car parking is available at NT 08327 03648. From here walk towards Moffat on the roadside path until you reach the row. Carefully cross the busy road. Best visited in the winter or early spring before the vegetation obscures the stones. One of the few stone rows with dreadful ambience.
