Country: England (Norfolk)

Grime's Graves Flint Mines submitted by Thorgrim on 8th Jun 2004. Galleries radiate out from the bottom of the mine shaft in search of the top quality "floorstone" flint. They are only two or three feet high and would have been a tight squeeze

Don the provided hard hat and decend the shaft to view side shafts and artefacts. The surrounding area, with other shafts, either marked or filled, can we rambled on at leasure throughout the year.

Log Text: I know this site well and am pleased to see it here as it is my first new site addition to Megalithic Portal. Condition is somewhere between 2 and 3. A steep climb up from Bantry Riding (excellent riding centre) but well worth it. The views across Bantry Bay are superb and a climb to the top is well worth it too, if you still have the energy!

Lomanagh holy well submitted by KaiHofmann on 20th Sep 2012. Holy well in Kerry. Still in use with modern Christian offerings.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: Easily accessed and located from the main road. Travelling west there is a pull in on the left with a sign to the well. A few minuets walk on the footpath leads you to this well which seems to be well visited judging by the offerings of all types. Well worth a visit. I stop by from time to time when I am in the area.

Gurteen stone circle submitted by BrethynDa on 28th Aug 2002. Gurteen Stone Circle
SW of Kilgarvan, Co. Kerry. Portal stones at NW. Accessible by foot after a 10-minute drive from Kilgarvan. Ask for directions at O'Suilleabhain's Pub in the village.
Note to visitors: if you find yourself in a farmyard with three ferocious dogs, you've gone too far. Go back down the hill and look for the metal gate on the right. The circle is on a small hill beyond the gate.

Log Text: Recent work with a large digger (currently still on site) within a few metres of the circle detracts from the site at present. Also much rampant gorse pushing up around the outer stones. Still a site well worth visiting though.

Derrynafinchin submitted by frogcottage42 on 4th Mar 2010. This is actually a very complete circle, it is so close to the road that two stones have been uprooted and dropped into the circle to allow traffic to pass!
A fence bisects the site and the other stones are hidden in the gorse.
There is parking nearby

Log Text: I pass close by frequently. Always give acknowledgement to it. A pity it is so close to the tared road and that the gorse encroaches so much. A lovely drive across the mountains from Kilgarvan though.

Drombohilly Stone Circle submitted by kenwilliams on 23rd Oct 2005. Drombohilly is a truly magnificent circle, though a visit is not for the faint hearted. After any spell of rain the terrain here is treacherous, barb-wire, slippery rock filled streams, shoe-sucking bog... Bring a trusted pair of wellingtons.

Log Text: A superb setting for this well preserved circle. Could just be seen from the road at the time of my visit but difficult to access due to highish barbed wire fences. I often carry a piece of hessian sacking to wrap around barb wire in these situations.
Drombohilly wedge tomb is about 200m due South, a climb of about 30m according to OS map. Well worth the effort to find.

Drombohilly Wedge Tomb submitted by frogcottage42 on 1st Mar 2010. From this lofty position the occupant of this tomb would have had panoramic views of the Kenmare River and Macgillycuddy's Reaks.
There are many other less obvious burials in the immediate area and the site overlooks the field systems at Lehid

Log Text: Difficult to find and to access. Now with woodland planted all around it. Take a sat nav device if you visit or you may have to settle on visiting the nearby stone circle.

Uragh SW submitted by KenWilliams on 13th Feb 2007. This is a wonderful little circle, though large compared to Uragh NE. Situated on a small terrace enclosed by trees and outcrops it feels very private and there are evidently frequent gatherings by people lighting fires in the middle of the circle. Not easy to find, bloody awful to get back to the car from in the dark...

Derrynablaha submitted by frogcottage42 on 20th Mar 2010. This represents the most basic sort of rock art.
There are about forty shallow indentations on the top of this slab but they are very weathered.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: Many examples of rock art from very clear to almost erased/obscured. Large scattered site that is well worth a visit or preferably more than one if you want explore this area.
A superb setting easily accessed initially before requiring rock scrambling and hunting on both sides of the road.
