You come past the castle bearing round to the right, about 1klm there is a lane on the left.Find somewhere to park and walk up the lane to a gate and follow the path on the left to another gate. A few mtrs past the gate is a stone stile, go over and turn right along the hedge to the Burial Chamber.

Clach Mhic Mhios
Date Added: 12th Jan 2011
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Scotland (Highlands)
Visited: Yes on 9th Feb 2004
Clach Mhic Mhios submitted by hamish on 9th Feb 2004. This wonderful Stone is about 6 miles up the road inland from Lothbeg. There are stopping places,but choose carefully as it is further across the heather than you think. It can be very boggy in the spring. The stone is about 10ft tall. The silence here is most wonderful,there is absolutely nothing to break it but the occasional buzzard. I was called away by the distant and unmistakable call of a fine malt,so I went off to find it.

Chysauster submitted by hamish on 2nd Jun 2005. I have been here so often but each time seems different. I remember my first visit back in the 1950s, it was difficult to find then and few visitors.

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.

Carse Farm I submitted by hamish on 17th Aug 2005. This is the best time to visit here, the field has just been harvested and the farmer is in a good mood. I raised a hare as I was crossing to the stones. I didn't think to look for Nick's cup marks, maybe next time.

Carn Brea Enclosure submitted by hamish on 7th Apr 2002. Carn Brea Near Redruth
SW684412
Explorer 104
Go to Carnkie on the south side of Carn Brea and take a narrow and sometimes bumpy lane to the top,there is plenty of parking spots.Between the restaurant and the monument are some amazing rock formations.
These may be Neolithic or just wind and rain scoured but works of art just the same.

Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 10th Nov 2004
Caer-Dyni submitted by hamish on 10th Nov 2004. I stopped off at Criccieth for a break after a trip round the peninsula and saw this marked on the map. What a lovely rather sad place hidden from direct view, perhaps that is why it has survived. This pic was my first sight of it.

Cae'r-hen-Eglwys
Date Added: 12th Jan 2011
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Wales (West Glamorgan)
Visited: Yes on 21st Aug 2005
Cae'r-hen-Eglwys submitted by hamish on 21st Aug 2005. I had a hard time looking for this, the os ref. is out. I wandered about a massive field looking in the wrong place, it should be SS875809. The access from the road is difficult with dumped rubbish and glass. Once you have trodden down the nettles and dock the stones are great.
