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!

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 |

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. |

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 is located c. 140 yards ENE of Cairnholy Sheepfold in a drainage ditch running parallel to a stone wall.

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. |

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. |
