Log Text: Long drive on a single-tracked road followed by more of a walk than it looked on the map, ground was very squelchy underfoot.
Meal-da-Bheinn
Date Added: 7th Jun 2013
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Scotland (Isle of Skye)
Visited: Couldn't find on 27th Jun 2004. My rating: Access 1
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.

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.

Log Text: Didn't have a boat or deep waders so was defeated by the lake/river and not enough time or energy to take the long route upstream.

Croft Moraig submitted by Nick on 5th Nov 2002. From Aberfeldy take the A827 west towards Kenmore. About 6 kilometres along this road on the left (south side) is a small road leading to Tullichuil farm. Park carefully at this entrance, and there is a gate leading in to the field on the west side of the road. The circle is plainly visible from here. Ensure the gate is shut properly as there are often sheep in the field. There is a good information board here outlining the history of the site, which has three distinct phases. Initially fo...

Normangill Henge
Date Added: 30th May 2011
Site Type: Henge
Country: Scotland (South Lanarkshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 1989. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 5
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.
On t...

Log Text: Such a pity the road goes right through it, presumably the builders had no idea what it was. A lovely isolated location.

Cerrig Pryfaid submitted by stonedowser on 23rd Feb 2002. This is a good circle, though not easily seen until you are actually standing by it. There are a couple of outliers associated with the circle and what dowses as a cairn also. More pictures and dowsing diagram on web pages. Ian.

Tyfos submitted by vicky on 7th Jun 2002. Tyfos Circle, Llandrillo, Denbighshire GR: SJ028388
This fantastic little circle lies in a farmer's field adjacent to a country lane near Llandrillo. Around 20 stones stand in a ring which has been described as either a denuded ringcairn or a free-standing stone circle. Although it is on private land it is well worth a visit and there are several gaps in the hedge making viewing easy.
