Gray Hill circle

Gray Hill circle submitted by sem on 6th May 2013. Vandalism!
The idiot who sprayed this hand-print probably thought he was being very clever and somehow "enhancing" the work of his ancestors. The sane and sensible among us will view it for what it is, graffiti.
This has been reported to the relevant archaeo trust. Unfortunately I doubt the culprit will be found..... unless anyone knows of someone bragging on a social network site????

Meal-da-Bheinn submitted by BolshieBoris on 27th Jun 2007. Meal-da-Bheinn - This was as close as I could get - according to the OS Map the circle should be on the sunlit bit of the hillside, but it was not accessible from the road without wading equipment. Very boggy ground and 2 deep streams in the way.

Log Text: Tried to find it but ran out of time, and it was the other side of a river and very boggy ground in between.

Grassington B submitted by stu on 11th Oct 2003. SE025 667. Grassington B is a lot more disturbed than Grassington A. With the amount of old workings on the moor it's surprising they've survived.

Bradup circle submitted by andy_h on 4th May 2004. Visited here to investigate reports that the circle had been destroyed and yup, it's gone! A sad cluster of rocks heaved out and dumped near the style still bear JCB marks and the field in which the circle stood has been stripped down to the soil and is now grassed over.
This was a listed, protected monument and I'm sure the landowner can be prosecuted if the destruction was carried out without permission.
Local folklore also tells that a number of stones were taken from the circle to bui...

Na Clachan Bhreige submitted by LivingRocks on 27th Jul 2005. Telephoto shot in torrential rain of the three remaining stones of Na Clachan Bhreige. Close access to the stones was blocked by a flooded stream which feeds a small dam close to the site.

Right next to the M6 southbound carriageway. Ruined double ring, the noise from the motorway takes nothing away from this site. Ask at the farm.

Willy Howe submitted by DavidRaven on 9th Jun 2003. Part of the 'Great Yorkshire Barrows' group. To say that these have been called by some, 'the ancestors' of the mighty Silbury Hill in
Wiltshire, you'd think a little more would be made of them!
Reckoned to be as old as Duggleby Howe, and a similar size: seven and a half meters high and thirty six and a half meters in diameter.
Attempts at finding its secrets in 1857 and again thirty years later yielded nothing. A pit about nine feet deep was discovered but was bereft of objects or human ...

Park Gate submitted by PaulM on 1st Sep 2001. Park Gate Stone Circle, near Beeley, Derbyshire GR: SK281685
Park Gate is a relatively well-preserved embanked stone circle located on a boggy plateau on the moorland above Beeley, at the northern end of a cairnfield. The two ringcairns of Beeley Moor North (GR: SK277687) and Beeley Warren North East (GR: SK279688) are located close by to the north-west.

Stanton Moor 3 submitted by PaulM on 31st Aug 2001. Close up of one of the stones at Stanton Moor III (Derbyshire)Located on slightly higher ground, Stanton Moor III stone circle (or ringcairn) is very similar to IV, but is much larger and more clearly visible. Only partially overgrown by heather, the egg-shaped bank of stones is approximately 19.5m in diameter. There is, what looks like, a small cairn just off centre, but the interior of the site has been greatly disturbed by rabbits.The circle has two entrances, exactly opposite, to the north...

Stanton Moor 4 submitted by PaulM on 31st Aug 2001. General view of Stanton Moor IV (Derbyshire)Overlooking the gritstone moorlands to the east and south, Stanton Moor IV, although referred to as an embanked stone circle, is more reminiscent of a ringcairn. It is now completely covered in heather, but the egg-shaped ring of the embankment can be seen raised up above the ground and is approximately 12.5m by 13.5m internally in diameter. There appears to be one entrance to the south-west.A number of small stones survive on the site, including one...

The Soldiers Trench

Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Yorkshire (West))
Visited: Yes on 1st Sep 1988. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 5
The Soldiers Trench submitted by andy_h on 4th May 2004. Also known as Brackenhall Green. Situated above Shipley Glen and overlooked by rock art on Baildon Moor to the north and east, this sad little circle lies near the road which destroyed a section of its northern end. It's hard to distinguish amongst the rock scatter and fallen stones, but a couple of (largely reconstructed) double arc settings give it away.
