| Ballycrovane | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Ireland (Republic of) | Co. Cork | Visited | 4 | 4 | 4 | It's also known as Faunkill. There's something just odd about walking through someone's garden to visit a megalith, even when you've paid to do it!
This tall thin stone itself is a short walk up a steep incline and it's set on the top. Be careful trying to take a photograph, I had it almost in my s... Read More |

| Isbister: Tomb Of The Eagles | Chambered Cairn | Scotland | Orkney | Visited | 4 | 5 | 3 | This is a superb site as it's run by the family who own the land that the Tomb is on. The visitor centre is excellent for its talks and information. A shortish walk takes you to the Burnt Mound which is in date much younger than the Tomb, and then there's a much longer walk to the Tomb itself.

| Rollright Stones | Stone Circle | England | Oxfordshire | Visited | 1st Jan 1980 | 4 | 5 | 4 | Just came across this old leaflet from my first visit in 1980 | ||
| St.Magnus's Well | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | Scotland | Orkney | Visited | 4 | 4 | 5 | Just spotted this as I was driving along. As I was reading the sign, I heard the trickle of running water and found a pipe sticking out of the ground beside a wooden fence that had a clean mug left there for thirsty travellers. | |||
| Barnhouse Settlement | Ancient Village or Settlement | Scotland | Orkney | Visited | 4 | 5 | 4 | I visited in 2005 so this log’s from memory, it was a superb location. I’ve not seen structures built so close to a loch. Imagine stepping outside first thing in the morning, a few steps and you could have a quick dip and catch your breakfast simultaneously. The Standing Stones of Stenness are ... Read More |

| Hull and East Riding Museum | Museum | England | North Humberside | Visited | 16th Apr 2005 | 5 | 4 | 5 | Very interesting visit and a must for prehistory enthusiasts. J.R.Mortimer, a prolific antiquarian excavated anything that looked like a lump in the landscape in the East Yorkshire Wolds area and his detailed records of neolithic and bronze age discoveries were published in what's known as 'Mortimer...

| Eightercua | Stone Row / Alignment | Ireland (Republic of) | Co. Kerry | Visited | There was no public access when I visited and none of the images we have seem to be taken close to these stones. They are easily visible from the road. | ||||||
| Drumtroddan Cup and Ring Markings | Rock Art | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | Visited | 1st Jan 2006 | 3 | It's quite a walk from the parking area at the farm, not suitable for anyone with mobility problems. The largest easily-accessible outcrop with RA I've seen. There was a large herd of bullocks to walk through which some folks find intimidating. | ||||
| Shronebirrane | Stone Circle | Ireland (Republic of) | Co. Kerry | Visited | 1st Jan 1999 | 3 | 4 | 5 | At first glance as it's only half there, I called this one Shronebirrane semi-circle.
It's unusual inasmuch as it's in the valley-bottom, surrounded by mountains. I felt it had a very forlorn air. There's a modern house literally within a few feet of it which illustrates how incongruous Irish sites... Read More |

| Poulnabrone | Portal Tomb | Ireland (Republic of) | Co. Clare | Visited | 5 | 4 | Situated in the Burren region on the unusual geological Limestone Pavement, exposed rock with its own micro-climate in the cracks - called grykes - for flora and fauna, Poulnabrone Dolmen, made from the same stone, almost blends into its surroundings.
It's so much larger in reality than it looks... Read More |
