Shealwalls
Date Added: 12th Jan 2011
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Scotland (Perth and Kinross)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Jun 2005
Shealwalls submitted by hamish on 22nd Jun 2005. I had just been to Park Neuk and thought I would try and find this circle. So drive past Newton of Bamff going towards the B954, there is quite a dip in the road. Park here and go through the gate on the left, follow the footpath to the right. At the top of the slope walk for about 150mtrs keeping a lookout to the right and nestled in the long grass is this little "four poster"?? There aren't any other stones around so hopefully this is it. It is very difficult to locate.

Three Brothers of Grugith submitted by hamish on 21st Jun 2005. This is a b*&$%£ to find and the legs will never be the same again. Whoever introduced me to megalith hunting beware. The people at the garage looked on me as someone in need of care, and when I was stumbling through the gorse and heather I could see them pointing and laughing. So drive past the garage and take the first right park as soon as possible. Walk slowly down the right hand side of the road 'till you see a vague path ,this leads straight to the chamber. I did it differently and nearly...

Turn right at the cross roads about a mile out of St.Keverene,at 150yds take the right fork-at the elbow,park close in and look to the left.In the middle of the field is the Long Stone.Access is good-it is on a public footpath.There are many large stones on their sides in the hedges and one can only surmise about what was once here.

Dunadd Fort submitted by hamish on 21st Jun 2005. The Clan Chiefs would bring a pouch of soil from their territory to Dunadd, place this in the foot mark put their foot on top and swear allegience to the High King of Scots with their foot on their native heath.Thus saving the King the bother of travelling round all of them.
If you look on the bottom right hand corner you can see the ogham script.

Hoar Stone at Duntisbourne submitted by hamish on 13th Jun 2005. This is easy to find, easy to park. Just a short walk over the field. The dead vegetation is the remains of last years nettles.

Churchill
Date Added: 12th Jan 2011
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Oxfordshire)
Visited: Yes on 11th Jun 2005
Churchill submitted by hamish on 11th Jun 2005. The Stone Circle in Sarsgrove woods was last reported in 1929 but has not been seen since. It would seem the stones have been removed over the years and are scattered over the village. These stones by the Church are probably from the circle. More info on Celia's pages.

Tregeseal East submitted by hamish on 8th Jun 2005. I took this before the disastrous burn, the area will recover as it has before but not the lichens. Preserve us from well intentioned but thoughtless people.
