Natural PlacesA huge stone (approx 3m x 1.5m x 1m) definitely propped by a boulder and a smaller stone. On the southern part of Bodmin moor. There is sideways contact with a large adjacent stone that is itself propped. The cavity underneath seems to be the result of manipulation and removals. A stony bank runs straight up the hillside to the feature and then on to the burial cairn beyond. It is hard to conceive of a natural sequence of events that could have produced this arrangement.

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryThere are 2 probable crannogs in the SW corner of Carlingwark Loch, on the S edge of Castle Douglas in Dumfries and Galloway. "Two artificial islands were found when the loch was drained in 1765. At the same time two dugout canoes, a dam, to maintain the level of the water in the loch, and a planking floor were found." OSA 1794 (T Halliday). Fir Island, a natural island in the SW corner of Carlingwark Loch, is likely to be one of the fortified islands. Ash Island, an artificial island c. 55 yards N of Fir Island, is another likely candidate.

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryThe camp is a circular earthwork with double banks. Probably built by the Iceni in the second century BC and occupied until the tribe was wiped out by the Romans after Boudicca's uprising. Unfortunately, the western end which contained the original entrance was destroyed when the river course was re-routed. The other entrances are all supposedly modern. Still, it's a fine, impressive place with high banks and a deep ditches.

Date UncertainThis block of sandstone is located on the southern bank of the River Eden approximately 200m upsteam of another grinding stone discovered over a decade earlier. The stone has around 15 separate grooves, almost certainly made by the use of the stone for sharpening tools. It is highly likely that these tools would have been Neolithic axes and other tools quarried from the central Lake District fells between 4000 and 2000BC, however they could be more recent.

Natural PlacesThis propped stone sits at an altitude of 370m, the slab measuring 40cms thick, 80cms wide and 110cms long. The slab is made of Great Scar Limestone. This slab is placed on a low knoll; its precise origin is not immediately clear, but the stone matches both the scar above and a lower limestone pavement. There are no other similar slabs in the vicinity. There is one prop - an irregular piece of limestone - which supports the slab, which is smaller than in other similar features; it is also trapped by the slab against the bedrock at an unnatural angle.

Modern SitesAn early C18 guide stone which local archaeologist Raymond Hayes thought looked suspiciously like a re-used Roman Altar . It is located on the east side of the road in a small Intake behind a barbed wire fence. This is on Birk Field Bank, south west of Castleton on the road to Westerdale. It is suffering badly from erosion and depending on how the light falls on the stone determines the legibility of some of the engravings.
