Log Text: Island in the Gulf of Morbihan only accessible by boat, and site not open to the public (bird sanctuary). Boat tours of the gulf do pass by so you can see it from offshore. Actually managed to get on the Island via hiring a boat but nearly died on the return journey as the tidal currents are very strong. Large stones with half the circle submerged or destroyed by the currents.

Ewden Beck submitted by PaulM on 31st Aug 2001. Close up of some of the stones at Ewden Beck stone circle (aka Broomhead I). GR:SK238966. Ewden Beck is the most northerly of all the known sites in the Peak District to the north-west of Sheffield and west of Stocksbridge and marked on the map as ‘enclosure’. The circle is named after the nearby stream of Ewden Beck and is located on a flat shelf just above the steep valley, in an area surrounded by a bank and ditch of unknown date.

Fernworthy circle
Date Added: 7th Jun 2013
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jul 1997. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 4
Fernworthy circle submitted by AngieLake on 4th Nov 2005. The southeast-to-south arc of the circle, seen from inside its area, with the angular south stone at the right of pic. The left-hand stones of the main south row lead down towards the light green fir tree. In fact, there are many small stones lying in the coarse brownish grass, which are quite difficult to pick out as rows. 'Must try harder' next time - when it is drier weather!

Goodaver submitted by mattimpey on 9th Mar 2009. Several of the stones appear to have an undercut, whether this is due to weathering, the stones being re-errected upside down, or a feature of the circle I do not know.

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.

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????
