| Ryton Motte or Tumulus | Artificial Mound | England | Tyne and Wear | Visited | 23rd Apr 2017 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Ryton Motte, Gateshead: Parking on the main road opposite The Old Cross pub and Holy Cross church on Barnmoor Lane, as there was an event on at the church, the first surprise was to see the old cross located on the village green.

| Holy Well, Greenside | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | England | Tyne and Wear | Visited | 23rd Apr 2017 | 4 | 4 | 5 | Holy Well, Greenside: From Ryton Motte, we headed off south towards Greenside through the back lanes. Considering how close were are to Winlanton, Blaydon, Gateshead and Newcastle, you could be forgiven for thinking you were in the depths of the countryside at this site. Disappearing down a small ...

| Axwell Park Barrow | Round Barrow(s) | England | Tyne and Wear | Couldn't find | 23rd Apr 2017 | 2 | 5 | Axwell Park Tumulus, Gateshead: OK, even with the grid reference, we couldn't find any trace of this - not surprising, since checking the Pastscape records this morning (24th April), they say no trace of the mound exists! There were lots and lots of humps and hollows on the slope to the left of the... Read More |

| St. Mary's Well (Jesmond) | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | England | Tyne and Wear | Visited | 23rd Apr 2017 | 4 | 4 | 4 | St. Mary's Well, Jesmond: From the elusive (non-existent!) Axwell Park Tumulus, we headed off down the Coast Road to Jesmond to find this well. It was a delight – an oasis in the midst of the city.
Parking on Jesmond Dene Road where it meet Grosvenor Avenue, we headed west up The Grove – a s... Read More |

| Exhibition Park Circle | Modern Stone Circle etc | England | Tyne and Wear | Visited | 23rd Apr 2017 | 4 | 1 | 4 | As we’d failed to find the Axwell Park Tumulus, we sat in Café Nero in Fenwicks and I was looked up details of sites we were going to on the mobile version of the Portal. I came across an entry for ‘Leazes Park Circle’ which mentioned a modern stone circle. This took me by surprise, as we�... Read More |

| Horsley Hill Homestead | Ancient Village or Settlement | England | Northumberland | Visited | 23rd Apr 2017 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Horsley Hill Homestead, Northumberland: Well, this site got the adrenalin racing, if only for the crossing of the footpath across the A69 dual carriageway, at a very fast spot! We parked in Horsley Village on the B6528, outside the Hearth café, and walked up Lead Lane, which runs just to the west ... Read More |

| Ballymeanoch Kerb Cairn | Cairn | Scotland | Argyll | Visited | 18th Jul 2018 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Ballymeanoch Kerb Cairn: With a number of other cars pulling up in the car park with other people wanting to look at the cairn, we hastened down the marked path towards the stone row, wondering why there were large, fresh cowpats in the cordoned off pathway. We were shortly to be confronted by a la... Read More |
