Devils Den

Neolithic and Bronze AgeBurial chamber in Wiltshire, reconstructed (rather badly) in 1921. All that remains are two standing stones and a capstone with two fallen stones underneath.

Barlings Well

Springs and Holy WellsAt high tide, Barlings in Lincolnshire would have been an island when the River Witham was still tidal. There are barrows here and a ploughed out Iron age settlement. Later, in 1154, an abbey was built here. Only one wall of it remains. A well is also to be found, at the foot of this tree.

Annan Road Bronze Age Barrow Cemetery

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA group of five Bronze Age barrows on a scrap of water meadow squeezed between the University of Essex and the railway line. Originally spotted by aerial photographs in 1948, the official monument record designates this site as 'a group of five round barrows within the floodplain of the River Colne and at the confluence with Salary Brook'. The mounds are just visible if you know where to look, and one currently lies beneath a derelict car park.

White Moor Down

Submitted by theCaptain on Thursday, 01 May 2025   (18148 reads)

White Moor Down

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA truly lovely 20 metre diameter stone circle, miles away from any signs of modern life in the middle of the desolate Dartmoor. A difficult, and potentially dangerous, 4km (two-and-a-half-mile) mostly uphill walk rewards the circle devotee with one of the most impressive sites in England, if not the entire islands. Reconstructed in 1896 after being robbed by stonemasons, farmers and turfcutters, it retains eighteen of its original nineteen stones, although one is leaning and one has fallen.

Hügelgräberfeld Stendell

Submitted by Boeddel on Thursday, 01 May 2025   (258 reads)

Hügelgräberfeld Stendell

Neolithic and Bronze AgeBarrow Cemetery south-east of the village of Stendell in Brandenburg. Most of the barrows are quite shallow and therefore not all of them are easily recognisable due to the vegetation. Forestry workers have left deep tracks on some of the barrows with their equipment. In the northern part of the burial ground is an elongated stone that may be a fallen menhir. The cup-marked stone nearby is said to have been part of a stone circle, so it is possible that there were other menhirs there.
