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.

Nether Largie standing stone

Nether Largie standing stone submitted by caradoc68 on 18th Aug 2012. This standing stone is in the middle of a field, a short distance of the footpath. The farmer does not like you being there and might put a angry looking bull in the field to put visitors off. Cant find a lot written about this stone or why it seems to be leaning at 45 degrees and pointing to the southeast.

Nine Ladies submitted by PaulM on 1st Sep 2001. Nine Ladies Stone Circle (aka Stanton Moor 2), Derbyshire GR: SK249635
Nine Ladies is a typical Derbyshire circle consisting of nine visible small standing stones embedded in a grassed over stone rubble bank approximately 11.5m by 10.5m in diameter. The site is the most popular in Derbyshire and much in the media spotlight due to quarrying plans in the area.
The stones are all composed of local millstone grit and none are taller than one metre in height. The bank has now all but disappea...

Normangill Henge

Site Type: Henge
Country: Scotland (South Lanarkshire)

Normangill Henge submitted by h_fenton on 30th Nov 2010. A Kite Aerial Photograph of Normangill Henge viewed from the north. The south (uphill) side of the henge is the most clearly visible here because the ground is generally poorly drained while the banks are well drained resulting in a difference in vegetation.
There are drainage ditches alongside the road which stop the water making a vegetation difference on the north (downhill) side of the road. The internal ditches of the henge seem to be more prominent on the northern side.

Porlock Circle submitted by thecaptain on 10th Nov 2006. View roughly northwest across the circle, with the large prone stone in the foreground and the next largest stone on the western side in the distance.
The diameter is about 25 metres and I counted 16 stones, but many of these are just loose stones on the surface.

Country: Ireland (Republic of) (Co. Kerry)
Visited: Yes on 1st Feb 2008. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Reenkilla submitted by frogcottage42 on 22nd Feb 2010. This is the NW and tallest stone of this unusual group. Measuring 2.4m high and about .75m at it's widest.
The smaller SE and SW stones can be seen to either side.
This monument can only be reached by wading at low tide and is at serious risk of being damaged by falling trees which almost totally obscure it from view.
