| Torhousekie Standing Stone | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | Visited (still working on) | 17th Jun 2019 | Torhouskie Standing Stone: At the time of our visit, the only route to this stone was either along the very busy minor road then down the farm track (didn't fancy getting run over as sight lines for cars weren't very good) or across the field. With The Huge Bull standing guard, and watching our ever... Read More |

| Torhousekie N | Cairn | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | Visited | 17th Jun 2019 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Torhousekie N cairn: We had a cairn further up slope recorded to find, together with one by the farmhouse, so it came as a surprise to find this cairn here. I took some photographs on the day (a few before a heavy shower of rain, one after in the sun), and found out about it later.
Recorded as C... Read More |

| Torhouse North Side Cairn | Cairn | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | Visited | 17th Jun 2019 | -1 | 3 | 4 | Torhouse North Side Cairn: We had the Canmore ID record printed off for this cairn, but we were a little confused. One entry in Canmore said the cairn had been almost entirely removed and the site used as a dump for field clearance stones, but at the grid reference point there was nothing but a plou...

| Torhousekie Farm Cairn | Cairn | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | Visited | 17th Jun 2019 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Torhousekie Farm Cairn: With tea-time fast approaching and cars whizzing up and down the road at high speed, Andrew pulled into a gateway opposite the cairn whilst I hopped out to take some photos.
It was a lot more interesting than it looked, with definite structures on the sides and top. I cou... Read More |

| Cairnweil standing stone | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | Visited | 17th Jun 2019 | 3 | 4 | 4 | South Carnweil Standing Stone: From Kirkmadrine Church, we travelled back along the road eastwards towards the A716, we stopped off to see this standing stone, by a wall, up a hill, but not quite at the top of the hill. It certainly is a big stone.
The road was narrow, so we bumped right up on th... Read More |

| Torhousekie East | Stone Row / Alignment | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | Visited | 17th Jun 2019 | 3 | 4 | Torhouseskie Stone Row: Crossing the road from the layby by the stone circle, we entered this field through the gate at NX 38340 56494. This proved a little tricky, as it was two gates bolted together, then tied with multiple loops of string. Whilst I managed to untie the knots, and Andrew and I be... Read More |

| Torhouse North Cairn | Cairn | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | Visited | 17th Jun 2019 | -1 | 3 | 4 | Torhouse North Cairn (now destroyed): Being so close to the stone row, the stone circle and other cairns, I was curious to see where this cairn might have been, and what views from it. From the Torhousekie North Side Cairn (to the left/west of the track – see above) we continued up the track for a... Read More |

| Spittal Croft cairn | Cairn | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | Visited | 17th Jun 2019 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Boreland Cairn: By this time of the afternoon (early evening) I was getting more than a little ‘cairned-out’ having seen, and still trying to make sense of, all those cairns at Torhousekie. But this was a lovely little cairn, complete with sheep warming themselves by the small piles of stones on... Read More |

| Kirkmadrine Church Stones | Early Christian Sculptured Stone | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | Visited | 17th Jun 2019 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Kirkmadrine Old Church & Early Christian Stones: Now this site I was so looking forward to seeing, but in some ways it was the most disappointing.
As we arrived at the foot of the grassy lane to the church, the heavens opened, and my, did it pour. Thankfully, we were sheltered to some extent by ... Read More |

| Peter Hill Roundhouse (Whithorn) | Ancient Village or Settlement | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | Visited | 18th Jun 2019 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Peter Hill Roundhouse: Part of the visitor experience at the Whithorn Museum. We arrived just after a small guided tour had started. We asked if we could go round after the tour had finished, but were told we could only get in while there was an official guide there. I cheekily asked if we could jo... Read More |

| St Laurence's Church (Bradford on Avon) | Early Christian Sculptured Stone | England | Wiltshire | Visited | 17th May 2019 | 3 | 5 | 4 | St Laurence's Church, Bradford on Avon: From Wells, we had to decide which church was going to be the very last visit of our Dartmoor Expedition, as we were rapidly running out of time – Deerhurst or Bradford-On-Avon. In the end, the decision was down to knowing that St. Laurence’s Church would ... Read More |

| St Andrew's Well (Wells) | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | England | Somerset | Saw from a distance | 17th May 2019 | 4 | 4 | 4 | St Andrew's Well, Wells Cathedral: After having had an abortive trip trying to find the sculptured Anglo Saxon stones (now shut up in boxes and cages on the triforium, only accessible by cathedral staff) I only photographed this through the hole in the garden wall separating the cathedral from the B...

| Wells Cathedral | Early Christian Sculptured Stone | England | Somerset | Visited | 17th May 2019 | 4 | 4 | 4 | AS Corpus Wells 4, Wells Cathedral: We'd been seriously held up by traffic on the major and minor roads from Exeter to Wells, then by seriously slow roadworks, so were really rushed for time. I'd previously contacted the cathedral to find out if it was possible to see AS Corpus Wells 3, which the Co... Read More |

| High Moorland Visitor Centre | Museum | England | Devon | Visited | 17th May 2019 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Princetown Visitor Centre, second visit: We had arranged to meet one of Sandy G's intrepid Dartmoor Explorers here at around 10.30am, to have a final look around before starting our journey back home. .
I confess to being really disappointed with this Centre as there was only the cast of a standi... Read More |

| Shovel Down row 4 | Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue | England | Devon | Visited | 16th May 2019 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Shovel Down Row 4: From Shovel Down Cairn Row 4, this row started just to the north west, the stones ‘marching’ steadily downhill. These stones were similar in size to the Drizzlecombe Stone Rows 1 & 2, but largely hidden in tall grass.
Whilst everyone else walked down to the Fourfold Stone C... Read More |
