Natural PlacesThis outcrop of rock, also known as the Giant’s Footprint, is beside the footpath from the A30 lay-by kissing gate to Boscawen Un, though you may not notice it there on your way to the circle. There is a small, presumably modern stone circle close by, photos of that are on our page. You would be more aware of it when walking back to your vehicle, turn left down a little path beneath the overhead electricity wires. It is marked on the OS Explorer map. The huge rock stands to the NW of Boscawen Un [the circle can be seen from its summit], and St Buryan church tower is about SSW in direction.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA team of archaeologists believes that three impressively sized circular ditch structures from around 4500 BC, discovered by the team in what is now southeastern Austria, are evidence of some of the most impressive Stone Age settlements ever found in Europe. Researchers spent roughly six years using aerial archaeology and geomagnetic surveys in the municipality of Rechnitz (located near the border with Hungary) to discover the ring-shaped structures, which are virtually invisible to the naked eye. They found pits and post holes that, in conjunction with ceramic discoveries, help to illustrate the Neolithic settlements. Teams will further analyze material and soil samples to uncover more information on the origin of the agricultural land and its subsoil.

Date UncertainWhat looks to me like a henge with an entrance at the NNE and another half (finished) henge to the SE, After seeing this on the LiDAR I looked on Heritage Gateway and even though they'd recorded the place they mention everything but a henge!! Anyhow they write: (About the full possible henge) A circular enclosure, possibly Prehistoric, has been picked up on Lidar. It measures over 50m in diameter and could represent a large barrow, a round or even possibly a stone circle.

Date UncertainI had no idea about this stone circle before I went to seek help from a local farmer to find the nearby rock art site at Onsøy when she told me to follow this country road and where to find the stone circle! This one does not appear in any official website or articles. It is located in an open area in the forest and no large trees appear inside the circle.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis medium-sized but pretty round barrow is just next to the main country road 40km south of Oslo. Five large pine trees are growing on the barrow but otherwise the barrow is covered only with short grass, making the details of the barrow easy to see. The barrow is according to kulturminnesøk 18 metres in diameter and 1.5 metres in height and appears to have no damage.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeOn a headland overlooking the Baie D'Audierne, this allée couverte is in a tremendous position. Excavations have shown it to have not only been constructed and used by neolithic flint workers, but also for burials in the bronze age, iron age, and by the Gallo-Romans. In the middle ages it was used as a quarry for building stone, - since then it has been used as a military look out post, and as such was blown up during the second world war. Fortunately it was restored in 1990.
