Buzza Hill
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: England (Isles of Scilly)
Visited: Yes on 17th Oct 2006
Buzza Hill submitted by paulcall on 17th Oct 2006. There are two pairs of stones facing the chamber, one pair in the foreground and one pair to the left. They seem rather far away to be part of the original structure.

Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: England (Isles of Scilly)
Visited: Yes on 17th Oct 2006
Innisidgen Lower submitted by paulcall on 17th Oct 2006. One of my favourite views on Scilly, the north of St Mary's looking towards St Martin's. The fact that there are two burial chambers here is an added bonus.

Mulfra Quoit submitted by paulcall on 28th Nov 2006. A more distant view of the quoit situated right on the top of the hill. The climb up to see it after heavy rain was 'unpleasant'.

Giew Mine
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 28th Nov 2006
Giew Mine submitted by paulcall on 28th Nov 2006. There is some doubt about whether this menhir is a true bronze age standing stone, not helped by the fact that there is a one inch diameter hole drilled into the western face (seen here), but perhaps the local mineworkers used the already erected stone for their own purposes.

Penmaen Burrows
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (West Glamorgan)
Visited: Yes on 1st Dec 2006
Penmaen Burrows submitted by paulcall on 1st Dec 2006. Found 400metres down a track south-east from Penmaen village towards Threecliff Bay. It is quite ruined, and not mentioned in the otherwise comprehensive 'The Ancient Stones of Wales' by Chris barber and John Williams. However, it is marked clearly on O.S. map 159, but I found it surprisingly tricky to find when I visited.

White Island
Date Added: 14th Mar 2011
Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: England (Isles of Scilly)
Visited: Yes on 1st Dec 2006
White Island submitted by paulcall on 1st Dec 2006. A view of White island from Top Rock Carn on St Martins, showing the hazardous isthmus between the two. Very low tides would be needed to get on and off the island to give enough to time to see the monuments which are mainly at the far end.

Tremenhere Menhir submitted by paulcall on 13th Dec 2006. Visited on a very dull day. Access 5, Ambience zero. Obviously used by the cattle as a rubbing post as the mud around it indicates.
