Sölden menhir
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Austria
Visited: Yes on 20th Feb 2015
Sölden menhir submitted by theCaptain on 20th Feb 2015. Within central Sölden, there is a large stone of 3 to 4 metres height just standing there.
I have no idea as to whether this is an ancient menhir, but what else would it be doing here?

Stoanerhof stones
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Austria
Visited: Yes on 20th Feb 2015
Stoanerhof stones submitted by theCaptain on 20th Feb 2015. To the southern side of the town of Mayrhofen, in the locality of Stoanerhof, a couple of large stones can be seen standing at the sides of various lanes between the farms and chalets. I only have pics of this one.
I have no idea whether they are ancient menhirs, but they don't look natural to me, and look to have been stood in their positions deliberately.

Showery Tor North Standing Stone
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 11th Jul 2015
Showery Tor North Standing Stone submitted by TheCaptain on 11th Jul 2015. Looking around from one of the cairns, I again notice something over towards Davidstow, about halfway to the forest, and wonder what it is, so I decide to walk over and have a look.
This is definitely a standing stone, still stood upright and held in place by a good amount of packing stones.
