Log Text: The stones which once formed a dolmen are now for well documented reasons now located arranged in a circle in a locked greenhouse in a public park just south of Liverpool. In some ways it's a shame that they're so removed from their original setting and arrangement, but on the other hand it's fortunate that they have been been protected from being broken up and reused as so many other similar monuments over the centuries have. It would been really nice to have been able to get into the greenhouse and examine the carvings closely, unfortunately this is a rare opportunity and would need to be planned well ahead by contacting their custodians.

Log Text: I've visited the rollrights several times, it's probably the nearest significant site to where I live. It's very close to a main road, so easy access. Despite that, it always has a good atmosphere and I'll be back at every opportunity.

Log Text: It was a long time ago that I visited this site, as I recall it was in the midst of a large nature reserve. It was one of the best preserved cairns I've visited and the setting was very peaceful. The only noise was birdsong. I'd love to go back one day.
