Kill Barrow
Date Added: 20th Jul 2017
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 3rd Oct 2016
Kill Barrow submitted by sem on 3rd Oct 2016. I think there is a certain delicious irony in posting the first picture of a site that includes so many members of The Megalithic Portal in it.
Well done all!

Robin How
Date Added: 20th Jul 2017
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 8th Jul 2017
Robin How submitted by sem on 8th Jul 2017. Robin How Cairn together with an unnamed cairn form a pair on the horizon when approached by the track. Joanie Howe Cairn is behind Robin How and does not become visible until you reach the latter. Joanie How and the unnamed cairn then form another pair on the horizon.
This pairing of cairns is very similar to the arrangements found in South Wales.

Date Added: 20th Sep 2016
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Carmarthenshire)
Visited: Yes on 18th Jan 2012
Sythfaen (Carmarthenshire) submitted by sem on 18th Jan 2012. Sythfaen
Standing by the road-side and dwarfed by a modern pole, Sythfaen looks forlorn. Nearly strangled by undergrowth and not even afforded the dignity of being used as a gate-post, how are the mighty fallen.

Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 19th Jan 2015
The Sanctuary Barrows submitted by sem on 19th Jan 2015. Walking anti-clockwise around the most northern of the barrows produces this 'effect.' Doing it clockwise don't work.

Site Type: Ancient Temple
Country: Malta (Gozo)
Visited: Yes on 27th Apr 2015
Ggantija submitted by sem on 27th Apr 2015. The 'carvings' on this stone are described as graffiti, but given the dates visible when does graffiti become history?

Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (West Glamorgan)
Visited: Yes on 17th Jul 2015
Graig Fawr submitted by sem on 17th Jul 2015. It has now been determined that the site has two tombs side by side, though the jumble of stone makes interpreting the layout very difficult.

Visited: Yes on 7th Sep 2015
Woodhenge (Wiltshire) submitted by sem on 7th Sep 2015. Woodhenge -The Model
One picture taken of a 3D model conceived during a wet weekend. Projects like this can reveal previously unseen features.
I would point out that the henge itself is now thought to have been built after the timbers decayed.
