1. Re: Cullomane West by frogcottage42
A collection of standing stones, some forming a row and at least one menhir.
The row which is aligned roughly NE/SW consists of three elements; one standing stone 1.6m tall, a second fallen 1....
2. Re: Copplestone Cross by Anonymous
I am currently writing my master's dissertation on the carved saxon stones of devonshire and will hopefully be submitting a copy to English Heritage, as it will include a full condition report and en...
3. Re: Cullenagh by frogcottage42
This superb stone row is a prominent feature in the local landscape.
It's three standing stones are of generous proportions, being almost 1m wide and between 1.3 and 1.9m tall.
A fourth...
4. Re: Cullenagh by frogcottage42
These coordinates are for a stone row which is currently inaccessible due to it being within the boundary of current quarrying activity.
I will obtain photos when the operators have moved over...
5. Re: Clodagh NE by Anonymous
by frogcottage42 on Wednesday, 10 March 2010
A good example of this type of monument in a clearing by the road.
Well maintained and right next to the road, there is parking for...
6. Re: Cullenagh by frogcottage42
OS shows "standing stone" at this spot and there is uncertainty over the exact location of this circle. The coordinates given for the circle are exactly on this spot so it seems likely that this real...
7. Re: Clodagh by frogcottage42
Another typical Cork / Kerry five stone circle with associated stone row.
Aligned to the SW as usual all the elements of the circle and the row are in situ but spoiled rather by all the loose ...
8. Re: Baurgaum by frogcottage42
A fairly standard five stone circle with an associated stone row.
Complete but in rough order and possessing an unusual bifurcated upright.
The stone row (one part fallen) is in line wi...

10. Re: Creag Nan Caorach Chambered Cairn by Big-Sandy
If you are walking to the hut circles you may as well continue on up...:) Not too steep, but definitely no disabled access.

11. Re: Inchybegga by frogcottage42
This is a quaint little circle in a great location.
With one small outlier and signs of several burials in the immediate vicinity it occupies a small paddock on a well kept dairy farm.
...
12. Re: Creag Nan Caorach Chambered Cairn by Big-Sandy
Very tumble down, though can still see stones forming cist, and make out the shape of the cairns. ...
13. Re: Creag Nan Caorach Hut Circles by Big-Sandy
Quite easy to access, some further from the road than others. Not much of them left, some walls still standing a couple of courses high.
Easy if you are relatively fit, not access for...

18. " Syria's Stonehenge" Neolithic stone circles, alignments and possible tombs by Andy B
Whilst I'm sure this is a potentially important discovery, Dr Mason has (whether deliberately or not) so blatantly pandered to those headline sub-editors we know and love that I am finding it difficu...
19. Neolithic stone circles, alignments and possible tombs discovered by Andy B
For Dr. Robert Mason, an archaeologist with the Royal Ontario Museum, it all began with a walk last summer. Mason conducts work at the Deir Mar Musa al-Habashi monastery, out in the Syrian Desert. Fi...
20. Re: Drumlave by frogcottage42
There is a ruined house buried in the gorse approx 10m to the South, a stretch of relict field wall, a possible boulder burial and lots of other stones on this site.
Some of this is undoubtedl...

1. AngieLake: Thanks for this lovely shot Dec. I went to this area a few times and looked at the hill from the town, but never climbed it, so it's lovely to see what I missed!...
2. cerrig: Martin, So that's how you take those elevated shot's. Pole's and lighting stands indeed, you're hovering. Makes me wonder how you hold the camera though....
3. Thingy: Of course you're right. A concerted effort by a variety of interested agencies is the only way to assure preservation. Indeed, strict legal protection is required, as we can't trust individuals to do...
4. frogcottage42: The problem is so often these monuments disappear from view for a while and then the excavator quietly removes them. Farmers often do their best to drive round them but eventually one too many broken...
5. Thingy: I agree, but if the ultimate aim is preservation (which it must surely be) then perhaps hiding them from the 'uncaring tourist' can only be beneficial. It spoils it for the relatively few of us with ...
6. Thingy: Martin, you'll no doubt live in one of those wonderful German Schlosses (forgive my spelling). I think we both have secrets worth concealing! I've been told I'm engaged in that perennial battle betwe...
7. Martin_L: As this might be misleading: The gap inside the barrow was created when the site was restored. The aim was to show some construction details of the chamber and to get some light into the chamber to e...
8. Martin_L: The gap in the barrow was created when the site was restored. The aim was to show some construction details of the chamber and to get some light into the chamber to ease visits for people who left th...
9. Martin_L: "...not allowed out after dark..." Really? Vice versa to me. For some ….um, well…..let’s say „reasons“ I usually spend the daytime home in my…er…my belltower. So taking pictures at night is more a m...
10. Thingy: Yep, it's always scary. But I love that moment when you recover the camera and find a great shot....
11. Thingy: Your use of light is both informative & aesthetically pleasing. I note that capturing these sites at night shows the stones in ways we can't see in daylight, focussing the attention in new ways. I mu...
12. AngieLake: It's lovely Martin! Nice light, too.....
13. AngieLake: Great shot Martin, I agree with Andy and Thingy, and I love the star formation - it makes the photo even more special. ...
14. Martin_L: Now done without my "tent-pole-tripod". Instead I used the "Thingy-lighting-stand-technique" ;-) Thanks again. Nevertheless it is always a bit frightening until one successfully recovered the cam....
15. Martin_L: Thank you Thingy. Used an external flash plus battery torch (to bring out the structure). The exposure time was 20 seconds as far as I remember. Probably not a very instructive picture, but sometimes...
16. Thingy: Superb!...
17. Thingy: Excellent shot Martin. Did you use a torch on a long exposure to illuminate the stones?...
18. Thingy: Perfect exposure in what was clearly a difficult situation, well done....
19. Thingy: Martin, you're too critical of your work - I can't see the joins and anyway, the aim of the shot was to show the entire site. And you've done this very well, despite much of the impact being inevitab...
20. Martin_L: Sirius is also visible in this picture. ...
