Log Text: What an ENORMOUS hillfort.
50+ acres, double walls and the internal ones measured from outside are 60m (that's 200ft!) high. Much as I like trees, i.e. enormously, less than half of the middle of the enclosed area has been de-treed. Two dog walkers and I both think that The Woodland Trust should get on with the job of clearing the entire area as far as the outer edge of the walls, as it surely would have been in the Iron Age.

Log Text: This is a 4km return walk, if you park at the "P" on the OS map. To drive onward is do-able in a 2WD family car, but though the route is flattish, it is *very* bumpy. There is no tarmac.

St. Ninian's Bay
Date Added: 19th May 2016
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Scotland (Argyll)
Visited: Would like to visit
St. Ninian's Bay submitted by SumDoood on 21st May 2016. The stones would be, I reckon, about 4/10 in from the right, and roughly in line with the peninsula. I haven't yet visited this site, but took these from the A844 thinking that the peninsula looks like a good contender for the south of Scotland's equivalent of the Ness of Brodgar! There you are, I've said it now.
The low island in the L half is Inchmarnock, known for its cist burials and the necklace which made it onto Neil Oliver's 2013 Ancient Britain tv series.

Log Text: Much of its ambience comes from the Arran backdrop, but it's an intriguing site, including the near surroundings, and about all of which I'm sure there is much more to be learnt.

While on a stone hunting day in and around the Black Mountains, the murk on the hills cleared enough for me to get this picture of the Crug Hywel, or Table Mountain fort from near the Llangenny Stones - which I didnt find.

Marden Henge
Date Added: 24th Apr 2016
Site Type: Henge
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Marden Henge submitted by Jansold on 24th Jul 2015. View of excavations during summer 2015.
Marden Henge is the biggest henge in England but because it did not have a stone circle associated with it, has tended to be overlooked. A huge mound, like a smaller version of Silbury Hill, named Hatfield Barrow, once existed within the henge, but it was levelled in the 19th C.
Foundations have been excavated within the henge that could have been a Neolithic sauna, containing a sunken hearth that would have given out intense heat.

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.

Oakley Down Barrows submitted by JimChampion on 9th Apr 2005. April 2005. Looking north at four of the bowl barrows in the Oakley Down cemetery from the Ackling Dyke bridleway. These barrows are aligned along an east-west axis from SU016170 to SU018170 at the south of the cemetery. They were excavated by Sir Richard Hoare (an antiquarian in search of antiquaries) in 1803 and yielded cremations.
