| Pierre qui Tourne (Baileux) | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Belgium | Hainaut | Visited | 12th Apr 2014 | 4 | 4 | 5 | Easy access on an (a bit bumpy) earth road, an ancestral road linking two old towns mind you ! Already visible from the N.99 Chimay-Couvin road (at km 30,7), about 150 m towards the South. | ||

| Althing | Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature | Iceland | Visited | 8th Jun 2012 | 5 | 5 | 4 | The closest you can come by car is the car park (64.263337, -21.117194). From there, a walkway leads you as far as the church and old cemetery.
The path to the valley supposed to be just on top of the dividing line Europe-America (where two tectonic plates pull the Atlantic floor apart) is asphalt... Read More |

| Mamoa 3 do Rápido | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Portugal | Braga | Visited | 6th Mar 2014 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Very wisely, the excavations have preserved a maximum of the original cairn, thus allowing visitors to imagine how the tomb was built. | ||
| Menir de São Paio de Antas | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Portugal | Braga | Visited | 24th Mar 2014 | ||||||
| Dólmen da Portelagem | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Portugal | Braga | Visited | 24th Mar 2014 | ||||||

| Dólmens de Lapinhas | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Portugal | Viseu | Visited | 15th Mar 2014 | 2 | 2 | Little known (so far !) and uneasy to access (see road description posted with main photo), that is precisely a good reason to visit these two dolmens.
One more reason is that the region around Penedono is very rich in ancient monuments, spread over a distance of about 50 km, therefore easily req... Read More |

| Menir de Penedono | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Portugal | Viseu | Visited | 15th Mar 2014 | 5 | 3 | 4 | Coordinates 40.973060 -7.39215 are correct as given by Megalhaes.
It stands on the left-hand side of the road from Penedono to Antas, at 2000 m from the castle of Penedono, right at the T-junction with the road towards Ferronha.
Being small (1,90 m high) and thin, Menir de Penedono may be o... Read More |

| La Peña de los Enamorados | Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature | Spain | Andalucía | Visited | 25th Mar 2014 | ||||||
| Casola do Foxo | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Spain | Galicia | Visited | 11th Mar 2014 | 5 | 5 | 5 | A superb monument set in an exceptional site, in a thinly populated region. It is indeed far from everything, but really worth a visit, being accessible by car on asphalted roads all the way. | ||
| Casiña da Moura | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Spain | Galicia | Visited | 11th Mar 2014 | 4 | 3 | 5 | Casiña da Moura has been re-erected here, somewhat arbitrarily, when the dam was built. The choice isn't very happy. In this scarcely populated region, there would have been plenty of suitable isolated spots on the other side of the dam -- and at respectful distance from Casola do Foxo<... Read More |

| Ales stenar | Stone Circle | Sweden | Skåne | Visited | 29th Mar 2014 | ||||||
| Soar Stone | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Wales | Anglesey | Visited | 13th May 2013 | 5 | 3 | 4 | While Soar Stone deserves the same attention as any other menhir, its location along A.5025 isn't flattering. | ||
| Llanrwst Gorsedd Circle | Modern Stone Circle etc | Wales | Conwy | Visited | 21st May 2013 | 5 | 4 | 5 | Very pleasant to discover, by chance, a crisp new (a mere 60+ yo have I read today...) stones circle, in an agreeable village. |
