Log Text: Before heading east over the Pennines, I have time to go and visit Long Meg. A new car park has been made which is well signposted, which leaves a 500 metre walk to the stone circle. I start my visit with Long Meg itself, as there are a few other people here who go the other way. What a lovely stone, standing proud overlooking the circle with its spirals and of course the face of Long Meg herself.
Long Holcombe (S)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 13th Apr 2007
Long Holcombe (S) submitted by thecaptain on 13th Apr 2007. When I eventually found the stone, which is almost lost among the long grass, it is only about 18 inches high, and it leans to the south, uphill.
I came to the conclusion that this stone is perhaps the last remaining stone of what was originally a stone setting of some kind, and that there was probably further stones in amongst the moor grass at one time.

London Stone
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Marker Stone
Country: England (Greater London)
Visited: Yes on 24th Nov 2013
London Stone submitted by theCaptain on 24th Nov 2013. I struggled to find The London Stone at first, not helped by looking for it at No 110, instead of No 111, and asked several people of its whereabouts, but nobody knew... Then by looking where I was expecting to find it, and walking the street a couple of times, my Dad said "whats this, is this it?"
Have to say its not quite what I was expecting, and is very disappointing, and not only just about impossile to see from outside, covered off from inside now.
Still, its still there, and I...

Llanrhidian Upper Stone submitted by theCaptain on 9th Jun 2013. Tall stone standing high up on the village green at Llanrhidian, above the track to the church.

Liscuis 3 allée couverte submitted by greywether on 26th Jun 2005. Looking E.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: There are three allée couvertes here on the hilltop on the ridge overlooking the river Dourla, and beside the busy GR37 footpath. They are signposted from all around, and are several hundred metres walk uphill and along the ridge from a little car park. They are all suffering badly from neglect and vandalism, which is a great shame as I was reading a book from 25 years ago which says that they have only recently been discovered and are in a wonderful condition and almost complete. I guess it doesn't help that the rock is a very splitty dark grey slate type rock, which now it is exposed takes little to break it. While I was up there, many people walked past, many kicking the stones as they went, with children (and adults) jumping up and down on them.
This seems to be a V shaped dolmen rather than a pure allée couverte with its chamber widening from less than a metre wide to greater than two metres wide for the main part. Approximately 12 metres long, it has three capstones in place, and faces approximately west at 210°.
It is suffering very badly, not only from graffitti, but also official damage in the form of footpath sign paintings and markings. There is a separate cell at the back, with an entry doorstone, at an angle, making a triangular entrance.

A bit further along the ridge than the other two, and off the main path, this one seems to have suffered a bit less from the vandalism. It faces north at 010° and is about 14 metres long, up to 2.5 metres wide, and 2 metres high, with the southern 3 metres being a seperate cell, both ends narrow down to only a metre wide. It has a paved floor, but there is only one capstone remaining in place. It is still mostly within its mound.

Right beside the busy (on a June Sunday afternoon) GR37 footpath, this allée couverte is suffering badly from neglect and vandalism. The chamber is 11 metres in length, and oriented to the east at 070°. Just two capstones are in place on the chamber which varies from 1 metre wide at the ends, to 2 metres wide at the middle. Part of the surrounding mound survives. There is a terminal cell at the western end, and a doorstone at the eastern end.
Liniez Tumulus elliptique
Trip No.205 Entry No.265 Date Added: 13th Dec 2020
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: France (Centre:Indre (36))
Visited: Saw from a distance on 27th Sep 2005
Log Text: Just outside the village of Liniez, along the D.926 road towards Vatan, and to the left of the road about a kilometre beyond the dolmen is the remains of a large tumulus. I found it difficult to stop here, and there was lots of fenced off land and woodland, so I didn't get to see this directly.
