| Candle Hill | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | markj99 (Blog) | Visited | 20th Sep 2019 | 2 | 3 | 3 | It is difficult to access Candle Hill Stone Circle: It is protected by an enclosure and vigorous shrubs. It is best to enter the enclosure on the SE corner adjacent to the remains of the circle. The circle is located c. 30 yards ESE of the centre of the knoll. The most obvious feature is the Candle ...

| Metheral Kerb Cairn | Cairn | England | Devon | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 8th Apr 2025 | 3 | 3 | 3 | So the boundary stone isnt the kerb cairn, so I still need to find that. With a bit of searching around, it becomes clear a short distance over to the southeast. There are a couple of reasonably sized slabs set on their sides and still upright, with several more forming a circular feature, around a ... Read More |
| Lower Camster Stones | Standing Stones | Scotland | Highlands | markj99 (Blog) | Visited | 25th Jun 2014 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Lower Camster Standing Stone are a curious contrast to the Grey Cairns of Camster located c. 1 mile N of the Cairns in flat moorland. The N and S Standing Stones are now dwarfed by Wind Turbines but they still retain a sense of antiquity. The W stone which is adjacent to the road is somewhat less co... Read More |
| Taw Marsh cairnfield | Barrow Cemetery | England | Devon | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 8th Apr 2025 | 2 | 4 | 3 | Before heading up to White Moor, I look for the kerbed cairn Paul has made a sitepage for, over by the marked Boundary Stone. I firstly find the boundary stone, standing proud of the long grass, and it seems to have been mounted on a large stony area. I read later that this has been declared as one ... Read More |
| Ringeby | Rock Art | Denmark | Bornholm | Boeddel (Blog) | Visited | 17th Apr 2025 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Despite the lichen growth, you can see many of the cups. A beautiful stone. |
| Cantraybruich | Clava Cairn | Scotland | Highlands | markj99 (Blog) | Visited | 21st Mar 2012 | 2 | 3 | 4 | The obvious remains of Cantraybruich Cairn are an arc of several standing stones on the grassy margin in the E corner of a field. It has been speculated that it is a destroyed Clava Cairn. In reality, the site is a jumble of recumbent stones which is difficult to interpret. |
| Metheral circle | Stone Circle | England | Devon | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 8th Apr 2025 | 2 | 4 | 2 | From Belstone I head south, crossing the river Taw at the large shallow ford, then keep heading south along the east side of the river, following a simple track along a line of waterworks drains and features, then keep going some more. I don't think I would have been able to find the stone circle wi... Read More |
| Capenoch | Cairn | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | markj99 (Blog) | Visited | 7th Apr 2012 | 3 | 5 | 3 | When I visited I parked in the gateway. The farmer has subsequently prohibited parking at Barr Farm. My updated route can be viewed on Capenoch Loch Long Cairn. |
| Port Sonachan | Chambered Cairn | Scotland | Argyll | Smilemaker (Blog) | Visited | 6th Apr 2025 | 2 | 5 | 3 | A great site although not easy access with a substantial wall blocking the direct approach from the track opposite the hotel's pier. If you follow the track to the water tank area, there is easier access across a non-barbed fence. To see the site at its best, go in the late winter or early spring, b... Read More |
| Unstan | Chambered Cairn | Scotland | Orkney | rachelh (Blog) | Visited | 14th Apr 2025 | 5 | 5 | 5 | Very easy access - a short walk along an obvious path from a car park. Site seems well kept. |
| Dwarfie Stane | Rock Cut Tomb | Scotland | Orkney | rachelh (Blog) | Visited | 16th Apr 2025 | 5 | 5 | 3 | Brilliant atmospheric site in a beautiful location, with views of Hoy and the surrounding islands. There is a car park by the road, then access is via a walk up hill along a relatively well kept path through the peat landscape. We crawled inside the stone and tested out the acoustics by singing! The... Read More |
| Dronningestenen | Rock Art | Denmark | Bornholm | Boeddel (Blog) | Visited | 15th Apr 2025 | 2 | 5 | Again, a very nice property owner who allowed me to visit the rock. He also showed me some photos when the Queen of Denmark visited. | |
| Stakkevænget Skåltegn | Rock Art | Denmark | Bornholm | Boeddel (Blog) | Visited | 15th Apr 2025 | 3 | 5 | Very nice property owner who allowed me to visit the cup marks. | |
| Hammershus Solur | Rock Art | Denmark | Bornholm | Boeddel (Blog) | Visited | 15th Apr 2025 | 3 | 5 | 3 | Whether it's a sundial or not and even if I don't know how old it is exactly. It's definitely "Rock art" and that's why I thought it would fit into the MP. |
| Penny Stone (Cambret Moor) | Rock Art | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | markj99 (Blog) | Visited | 27th Apr 2022 | 3 | 4 | 3 | There is a significant concentration of ancient sites in Cambret Moor valley probably indicating its importance to the creators of the monuments. It must have been a spectacular vista in its original state. The sites are visited in a linear N-S route from Cambret Hill. The order of the route is Camb... Read More |
| Callanish 15 | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Isle of Lewis | markj99 (Blog) | Visited | 3rd Jul 2011 | 3 | 4 | 3 | I didn't find any rolling stones (I didn't write the description of this site: I inherited it) but I did find a candidate for a recumbent standing stone on the hillside at NB 17754 34588. |
| Banc Du (Powys) | Stone Circle | Wales | Powys | Geraint1 (Blog) | Visited | 14th Apr 2025 | 2 | 4 | 1 | On access, I walked from David's Well to the SE along a "bridleway". There's a 4x4 track that ends at a (broken) gate after a few 100 metres. A few 100 meters further on from the gate and the bridleway pretty much disappeared. Picked up and lost a couple of quad tracks whilst maintaining a route tha... Read More |
| Helleristninger Storløkkebakken 5 | Rock Art | Denmark | Bornholm | Boeddel (Blog) | Visited | 14th Apr 2025 | 5 | I met very nice residents and was pleased that they let me have a look at the carvings. | ||
| Kepwick Long Barrow | Long Barrow | England | Yorkshire (North) | Chappers60 (Blog) | Visited | 13th Apr 2025 | 2 | 3 | 3 | Three round barrows in close proximity to this site are noted as tumuli on OS OL26 but are not mapped here |
| Gallow Hill Tumuli (Cowesby Moor) | Round Barrow(s) | England | Yorkshire (North) | Chappers60 (Blog) | Visited | 13th Apr 2025 | 3 | 5 | 3 | The northern-most barrow has the larger diameter - they are not the same. Views from Gallow Hill are spectacular! |
| Cairnholy 3 | Rock Art | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | markj99 (Blog) | Visited | 3rd Apr 2025 | 4 | 5 | 4 | Cairnholy 3 is an easy walk from Cairnholy Carpark through several grassy fields along a vague path. The large cup and ring marking is clearly visible despite erosion. |
| Cairnholy 2 | Chambered Cairn | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | markj99 (Blog) | Visited | 5th Apr 2025 | 3 | 5 | 4 | I have been a frequent visitor of Cairnholy Chambered Cairns over the years: Too many times to list them so I have added my last visit. These magnificent monuments will continue to draw me back. |
| Cairnholy 2 (Rock Art) | Rock Art | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | markj99 (Blog) | Visited | 7th Apr 2025 | 4 | 5 | 4 | I have visited the Cairnholy Cairns so often I couldn't possibly list them so I recorded my last visit. It was only recently I took more interest in the cup markings on the N Portal stone. I resolved to visit in the soft early light. My resulting photos of the cups were the best I had captured. My p...

| Cairnholy 1 | Chambered Cairn | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | markj99 (Blog) | Visited | 7th Apr 2025 | 4 | 5 | 4 | I have visited the Cairnholy Cairns so often I couldn't possibly list them so I recorded my last visit.

| Belstone Dolmen | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | England | Devon | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 8th Apr 2025 | 3 | 3 | 3 | Heading down towards the river and on the south side of the Irishmans Wall, a couple of large slab like stones can be seen. One of these reveals itself to be a good sized slab leaning atop a couple of side stones, with a few more nearby possibly a couple more slabs once holding up what is now a move... Read More |
| Cairnholy 6 | Rock Art | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | markj99 (Blog) | Visited | 7th Apr 2025 | 3 | 5 | 3 | I approached Cairnholy 6 from the Cairnholy Carpark walking S through several grass fields. Cairnholy is located c. 140 yards ENE of Cairnholy Sheepfold in a drainage ditch running parallel to a stone wall. Cairnholy Sheepfold is located at NX 51721 54902 (///critic.jetted.nutty) in the NW corner of... Read More |
| Trippet Stones | Stone Circle | England | Cornwall | Catrinm (Blog) | Visited | 13th Apr 2025 | 3 | 5 | 4 | Impressive site with large stones ( for Cornwall) |
| Hoad Hill | Cairn | England | Cumbria | rvbaker2003 (Blog) | Visited | 13th Apr 2025 | 1 | 5 | 3 | Lovely views… but not of any cairns :( |
| Irishman’s Wall circle | Stone Circle | England | Devon | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 8th Apr 2025 | 3 | 3 | 3 | Fabulous sunny day to Dartmoor to check out the "new" Taw Marsh stone circle etc. This one is easily found by walking along the trackway south from Belstone, and then heading off the track to the west, just before reaching the Irishmans Wall. Its position was notable for the flattened area of short ... Read More |
| Tarn Hill Cairn | Ring Cairn | England | Cumbria | rvbaker2003 (Blog) | Visited | 12th Apr 2025 | 3 | 5 | 2 | Think I found my first cist here, and a wonderful ring cairn to accompany it. The whole area is seemingly littered with man made structures, but as a novice I probably have an eager confirmation bias. |
| Kilhern Spa Well (New Luce) | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | markj99 (Blog) | Visited | 11th Apr 2025 | 3 | 4 | 3 | I visited Kilhern Spa Well after an extended dry spell. Most of the boggy areas on the moorland had dried out, however there was a waterlogged marshy area W of Kilhern Spa Well. I was probably the first visitor in a long time despite its proximity to the Southern Upland Way and the Caves of Kilhern. |
| Clogwyn Arllef Hillfort and Field System | Hillfort | Wales | Gwynedd | w650marion (Blog) | Visited | 11th Apr 2025 | 3 | 5 | 3 | Simple but very steep 30 minute walk along a waymarked footpath from Gwern Einion. Excellent 360 views from the top. The footpath has been repaired since my unsuccessful attempt two years ago!
The instructions and detailed archaeology plan of the hillfort are in this leaflet -

| Emerald Mound, Mississippi | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | Lorienc (Blog) | Visited | 2 | 5 | 4 | Atmospheric site in excellent condition. Beautiful walk around site listening to birds and seeing flora and fauna | |
| Cairnholy 7 | Rock Art | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | markj99 (Blog) | Visited | 7th Apr 2025 | 4 | 5 | 3 | It is somewhat surprising that Cairnholy 7 was only discovered in 2019 given the visibilty and scale of the parallel lines of cup carvings. |
| Cairnholy 4 | Rock Art | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | markj99 (Blog) | Visited | 5th Apr 2025 | 3 | 5 | 3 | The Cup and Ring Carving on Cairnholy 4 is the most obvious of all the rock art on this rocky knoll. |
| Cors Uchaf E Hut Group | Ancient Village or Settlement | Wales | Gwynedd | w650marion (Blog) | Visited | 5th Apr 2025 | 3 | 5 | 3 | Hunting the six hut circles in the field is good fun. Best time of year when the bracken is low. |
| Pena do Raposo Dolmen | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Spain | Galicia | kalcoatl (Blog) | Visited | 1st Apr 2025 | 2 | 2 | 5 | An overgrown jumble at the gates of an industrial farm complex. Almost unrecognisable as a dolmen, with probable collapse of any head stone. |
| Castle Ring (Stiperstones) | Hillfort | England | Shropshire | w650marion (Blog) | Visited | 9th Apr 2025 | 2 | 5 | 3 | Relatively easy walk up from Snailbeach car park (compared with the ankle breaking southern Stiperstones path!) Excellent views down into the dingles and across the Shropshire plain. |
| Ivey Clapper Bridge | Ancient Trackway | England | Cornwall | bishop_pam (Blog) | Visited | 8th Apr 2025 | 5 | 4 | 4 | To get to this lovely bridge, park at the entrance to the Leaze waterworks and walk down a path which is metalled at first, then through a gate, then follow the path to the bridge. |
| Dun Mucaig | Stone Fort or Dun | Scotland | Argyll | rhnthn (Blog) | Visited | 8th Apr 2025 | 2 | 4 | 2 | Challenging access due to lambing season. Found by following coastline and up ridge by waterfall. I am no expert so site identified primarily by burn and OS orientation. |
| Moorgate menhir | Standing Stone (Menhir) | England | Cornwall | bishop_pam (Blog) | Visited | 6th Apr 2025 | 5 | 5 | 4 | This stone is marked on the OS map as The Long Stone.
At a glance it would appear that Moorgate Stone is a solitary stone in the middle of a field but you soon realise that it is much, much more. Alongside it is a rough patch of land with two more upright stones and a circle of fallen and broken st... Read More |
| Farley Moor Stone | Standing Stone (Menhir) | England | Derbyshire | Cazkins (Blog) | Visited | 4 | 4 | 4 | Impressive single stone in the middle of a small forest. Seems pretty clear there are other stones around. The application for planning permission to build 75 cabins is a massive threat to what is probably quite an extensive site. | |
| Carn y Defaid (N) | Cairn | Wales | Monmouthshire | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 26th Mar 2025 | 3 | 4 | 3 | From the hilltop southern cairn, the northern cairn can be seen about 100m away down the slight slope with Blorenge and Ysgyryd in the distance. But the ground underfoot up here is so bad for walking across, no path, knee deep heather, broken stone, muddy holes and adders, that I didn't risk my ankl... Read More |
| Efessangus stone | Early Christian Sculptured Stone | Wales | Pembrokeshire | Loveluck (Blog) | Visited | 22nd Mar 2025 | 5 | 5 | 5 | Easily accessible by car, then either climb over a stile or use the gate. The stone stands on the right hand side at the top of a small set of steps beyond the gate. The area surrounding the stone is also well maintained with no weeds, litter or mess.
Facing the gate, the stone features a few lin... Read More |
| Robinstown Great | Stone Circle | Ireland (Republic of) | Co. Wexford | AlanJohnston (Blog) | Visited | 31st Mar 2025 | 4 | 4 | 3 | The correct coordinates are 52.407441,-6.809757 placing it firmly at the top of a gentle hill. Expansive views all around. The monument is in good condition, guarded by some inquisitive sheep! |
| The Gurdy Stone | Modern Stone Circle etc | England | East Sussex | kateshieldsart (Blog) | Visited | 1st Mar 2025 | 5 | 5 | 4 | Perfect stone visiting day- a pre-birthday visit with friends followed by a beautiful outdoor sauna together nearby in Lovebrook Farm. The stone was warm to the touch in the early spring sunlight, and we listened to the song by the stone. Highly recommend! |
| Carn y Defaid (S) | Cairn | Wales | Monmouthshire | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 26th Mar 2025 | 3 | 5 | 3 | A visit Raglan Castle, and as it's such a lovely day and seeing the hills on the horizon, I just had to go up top of Blorenge and walk along to the highly visible Carn y Defaid. It's a terrible path underfoot from the Foxhunter car park, all a jumble of rocks, bog and heather. The hilltop southern c... Read More |
| Botley Stone | Ring Cairn | England | Shropshire | George998 (Blog) | Visited | 1st Mar 2025 | 2 | 4 | 3 | Actually located about 100m west of where the icon is shown on the megalithic map. |
| Corringdon Ball Multiple Cairn Circle | Cairn | England | Devon | Catrinm (Blog) | Visited | This is well worth a visit in this complex landscape. It has at least 6 concentric rings - so unusual hard to capture on camera. | ||||
| Corringdon Ball Tomb | Chambered Tomb | England | Devon | Catrinm (Blog) | Visited | 30th Mar 2025 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Ruined but recognisable long barrow with entrance stones... more importantly in a lesser known megalithic landscape of stone rows and cairn circles. |
| Kirkdale Burn | Cairn | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | markj99 (Blog) | Visited | 28th Mar 2025 | 3 | 4 | 3 | It is all too easy to visit the Cairnholy Chambered Cairns instead of exploring the wider area. Somewhat belatedly, I decided to capture the Kirkdale Burn Cairn. This grassy mound is only a short walk from the Northern Chambered Cairn. Canmore lists multiple carved stones S of the cairn which I inte... Read More |
| Eggardon Hill | Hillfort | England | Dorset | ajd001 (Blog) | Visited | 1st Jan 2016 | 4 | 5 | 4 | Views of around 60 miles to Start Point in south Devon. |
| Cairnderry | Chambered Cairn | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | markj99 (Blog) | Visited | 24th Mar 2025 | 3 | 5 | 4 | On my return visit I found Cairnderry in an improved condition: The kerb of the cairn was discernible and the exposed chambers in the centre of the cairn were free from vegetation. I was able to reconcile the remains of the cairn with the plan.
Cairnderry Cairn is an impressive monument with easy... Read More |
| Cairnderry | Chambered Cairn | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | markj99 (Blog) | Visited | 11th Jun 2021 | 3 | 5 | 4 | On my first visit to Cairnderry Cairn the perimeter and the chambers of the cairn were obscured by vegetation making interpretation difficult. |
| Balker Moor N | Cairn | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | markj99 (Blog) | Visited | 19th Mar 2025 | 1 | 4 | 1 | A visit to Balker Moor N Cairn has two problems: Firstly, the route to the cairn requires walking half a mile over uneven boggy moorland and secondly, the cairn is very difficult to find. All that remains is an earth bank on the N Arc of the cairn with several kerb stones. I didn't even mention that... Read More |
| St. Helen's Well (North Cave) | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | England | Yorkshire (East) | emerald (Blog) | Visited | 1st Jan 0000 | 3 | 4 | 1 | In a private garden |
| Carnac Plage Dolmen | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | France | Bretagne:Morbihan (56) | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 29th Jun 2016 | 4 | 3 | 5 | In square Leblois in the seaside resort of Carnac plage can be found a dolmen and a menhir. |
| Carnac Plage menhir | Standing Stone (Menhir) | France | Bretagne:Morbihan (56) | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 29th Jun 2016 | 4 | 3 | 5 | In square Leblois in the seaside resort of Carnac plage can be found a dolmen and a menhir. |
| Østerballe Runddysse | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Denmark | Midtjylland | Vishap (Blog) | Visited | 19th Mar 2025 | 4 | 5 | 3 | Saw this for the first time from the bus window coming home from Grenaa, far out in a field on a
little knoll; a distant island choked with weeds and crowned with stone. Finally came back to investigate - thanks to the coordinates supplied here - with my wife and daughter on a warm and cloudless M... Read More |
| Duddo Five Stones | Stone Circle | England | Northumberland | wildtalents (Blog) | Visited | 16th Mar 2025 | 3 | 5 | 4 | Visited with Ian M. We took a circular walk approach, with a smattering of lost, which gave a great sense of getting to feel the site as it gradually came into view. Took the direct route back to the lay-by. |
| Ballach-a-Heathry | Cairn | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | markj99 (Blog) | Visited | 19th Mar 2025 | 3 | 4 | 4 | When I revisited Ballach-a-Heathry Cairn it's condition was much improved. The large field clearance stones had been removed, leaving a grassy plateau sloping S-N. The perimeter of the cairn was more sharply defined with steep edges. The cairn has an irregular elongated oval footprint. It is situate... Read More |
| Tholos do Barro | Chambered Tomb | Portugal | Lisboa | j_iglar (Blog) | Visited | 14th Mar 2025 | 3 | 5 | 4 | An impressive monument with an incredible view! The chamber is enormous, about 6m across. It's well worth visiting the museum in the town of Torres Vedras (only 4km away) to see many artefacts and a 3d model of it as it (likely) looked when it was built.

| Graig Lwyd Neolithic Axe Factory | Ancient Mine, Quarry or other Industry | Wales | Conwy | Supersequin (Blog) | Visited | 15th Mar 2025 | 3 | 5 | 2 | An amazing site, but clearly one that is under threat from modern visitors deciding to have a go and hammer their own stones off. It was very upsetting to see that people are not giving this site the respect it deserves. |
| Vale de Rodrigo 1 | Round Barrow(s) | Portugal | Évora | Greifensteiner (Blog) | Saw from a distance | 15th Mar 2025 | Unfortunately I couldn’t access the site, because the meadow was really wet after the rain. | |||
| Menir dos Almendres | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Portugal | Évora | Greifensteiner (Blog) | Visited | 14th Mar 2025 | 5 | 5 | 4 | The short footpath is in a very bad condition. After rain it is really muddy. |
| Grabhügel Wehe | Round Barrow(s) | Germany | North Rhine-Westphalia | morgainelefay (Blog) | Visited | 2 | 4 | Small hill remaining of original bronze age barrow, located on the edge of a small woodland right by the main road and next to an abandoned farm. There is a wooden sign mentioning further barrows that have been lost to destruction as well as findings such as bronze jewellery, a sword and urns. Off-r... Read More |

| Bury Ditches (Shropshire) | Hillfort | England | Shropshire | Foxy97 (Blog) | Visited | 9th Aug 2024 | 5 | 5 | 4 | My favourite hillfort by far and one of my most cherished places in England and the world. I visited last in late summer 2024 when the gods decided to bless me, after a beautiful sunny day, with a rolling thunderstorm followed by a torrential downpour and hail. It's one of the most remote and atmosp... Read More |
| Bwlch y Ddeufaen N | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Wales | Conwy | Supersequin (Blog) | Visited | 15th Mar 2025 | 5 | 4 | 2 | Smaller and less imposing than the southerly stone. The overall impression is somewhat spoilt by the adjacent pylon. |
| Bwlch y Ddeufaen S | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Wales | Conwy | Supersequin (Blog) | Visited | 15th Mar 2025 | 5 | 5 | 2 | Amazing stone, immediately visible as you enter the pass. |
| Langdale Axe Factory | Ancient Mine, Quarry or other Industry | England | Cumbria | GrimKnapper2650 (Blog) | Visited | 31st Aug 2024 | 4 | 5 | 2 | Summited this peak on my birthday last year, and despite the late August heat, it truly was an incredible experience. It really did feel like I was climbing into the heavens and I can easily see why the stone from these mountains was so highly prized and revered. |
| Men-An-Tol | Holed Stone | England | Cornwall | Dormouse (Blog) | Visited | 8th Mar 2017 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Been here a few times and remember the napalm attack:) Another place you can be reasonably alone outside the tourist season. Some more great video opportunities here. Not overlooked but have found people eating lunch on the stones which wasn't resipectfull. |
| Merry Maidens (Circle) | Stone Circle | England | Cornwall | Dormouse (Blog) | Visited | 8th Mar 2017 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Easy to get to but it is over looked and you may be being watched. Look out for the pipers in the field on the other side of the road. Usually have the place to yourself - out of tourist season. |
| Kenidjack Common holed stones | Stone Row / Alignment | England | Cornwall | Dormouse (Blog) | Visited | 14th Mar 2010 | 4 | 3 | 3 | Worth vising if you go to Carn Kenijack (Park on road and walk up the oft muddy farm track).There's a stone circle on the right which can be seen from the Carn. Walk further on to the right of the Carn and you find them. Fun video opportunities here. |
| Pocahontas Mound A | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | stonetracker (Blog) | Visited | 1st Feb 2025 | 4 | 5 | 4 | I had visited this site a few years ago as Mound A is in a convenient state roadside park area with bathroom facilities. It's also on the way to more northerly MS mound sites like Jaketown and Winterville.
Anyway I just stopped by to check out the latest improvements. The site's outdoor interpret... Read More |
| Schälchenstein Pehlitzwerder | Rock Art | Germany | Brandenburg, Berlin | Boeddel (Blog) | Visited | 13th Mar 2025 | 4 | 4 | 4 | We didn't find the cup stone we were looking for, but discovering a previously unknown one is of course also nice. :) |
| Pehlitzwerder Schalenstein | Rock Art | Germany | Brandenburg, Berlin | Boeddel (Blog) | Visited | 13th Mar 2025 | 3 | 4 | 4 | I finally visited this stone. With over 40 cups, some of which are really big and deep. |
| Fitzhugh Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | stonetracker (Blog) | Visited | 1st Feb 2025 | 2 | 5 | 5 | The site is very scenic, thus the Superb ambience rating. Unfortunately all that remains of the 7 mound site are two small mounds. The unusual elevated causeway is also long gone.
Mound D just so happens to now be the site of a still-used cemetery so I parked there. It is about 200 yds south of L... Read More |
| Hügelgrab Berkenlatten | Round Barrow(s) | Germany | Brandenburg, Berlin | Boeddel (Blog) | Visited | 11th Mar 2025 | 4 | It was a wonderful misty morning | ||
| Schälchenstein Stendell | Rock Art | Germany | Brandenburg, Berlin | Boeddel (Blog) | Visited | 6th Mar 2025 | 4 | 4 | 4 | The ticks I picked off my clothes were not so nice, but the stone is really beautiful. A visit is therefore recommended in frosty temperatures. |
| Hügelgräberfeld Stendell | Barrow Cemetery | Germany | Brandenburg, Berlin | Boeddel (Blog) | Visited | 6th Mar 2025 | 3 | The ticks there in the tall grass were annoying. | ||
| Hügelgrab Stegelitz 1 | Round Barrow(s) | Germany | Brandenburg, Berlin | Boeddel (Blog) | Visited | 4th Mar 2025 | 4 | Beautifully situated on a hill with beautiful views over the Uckermark landscape. | ||
| Julice Mound | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | stonetracker (Blog) | Visited | 1st Feb 2025 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Like nearby Transylvania Mounds, parking is tricky here. I was unwilling to park a rental car near the interpretive sign in the adjacent historic cemetery as it would have involved crossing a ditch in who knows what condition. Your mileage may vary, but I was able to find a conveniently vacant prope... Read More |
| Transylvania Mound | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | stonetracker (Blog) | Saw from a distance | 1st Feb 2025 | 3 | 3 | This was originally a 12-mound site, but cultivation has completely leveled the smaller peripheral mounds. The site is now on a large private farm set well back from the road and only 5-6 mounds remain visible above the surface. The closest extant mound is about 500 ft south of LA State Highway 581 ...

| Brautstein Petersberg | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Germany | Saxony-Anhalt | AufderSuche (Blog) | Visited | 10th Mar 2025 | 4 | 5 | 4 | Possible Menhir on the Petersberg. It was customary for newlyweds to sit on this stone after the wedding ceremony. The location given here is wrong. The stone lies on the westside of the monastery about 20m west of the monastery tower. You have to go through the cemetary to get there. |

| La Salle Street Mound | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | stonetracker (Blog) | Visited | 1st Feb 2025 | 3 | 4 | 5 | This mound is very close to Schicker Mound and on neighboring La Salle St. On-street parking is available on La Salle right next to the mound or across the street.

| Schicker Mound | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | stonetracker (Blog) | Visited | 1st Feb 2025 | 3 | 3 | 5 | This site consists of a single platform mound. A house with cellar was built on it in 1926 and I believe what you see now is the original dwelling. It is currently occupied so the site is private and can only be viewed from 100 yds away. The location is in Tallulah, LA in a residential area on the w... Read More |

| Smith Creek Mounds | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | stonetracker (Blog) | Visited | 1st Feb 2025 | 3 | 3 | This was somewhat disappointing for what is a pretty interesting mound complex. All of the mounds are on private property although you can get very close to Mound A as it's literally right next to the highway. There's not much of a shoulder but you can pull mostly off the road next to that mound. Th... Read More |

| Frogmore Mound | Artificial Mound | United States | The South | stonetracker (Blog) | Visited | 1st Feb 2025 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Like DePrato, Frogmore is on private property fronting Route 84, but in this case there is a convenient side street (Frogmore Plantation Rd) with a reasonable shoulder leading to a residential subdivision. I was able to pull slightly off the side street and park 100 ft from the mound. |
