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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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! The...

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...

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...

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.

Its position was notable for the flattened area of short ...

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.
