Neolithic and Bronze AgeA 1.4 metre tall standing stone on Cnoc a' Charragh (Hill of the Standing Stone) a remote, rocky location on the Isle of Colonsay. Just to the north lies another slab, 2 m by 0.8 m and at least 0.2 m thick. In 1923, S Grieve took it to be the cover of a long cist. This was examined and found to be empty. In 1984 RCAHMS thought it more likely a second, fallen standing stone. Creative Commons photo by Julian Paren, Image submitted by Creative Commons
This site looks to have been well repaired, judging by previous photos we have of this central dolmen in a collapsed condition. Look at the colours of the stones too. Read More | 1 News and Comments | Category: Our Photo Pages

Neolithic and Bronze AgeAn absolutely lovely site and well worth the visit as part of the Clunie Path. When the Clachan an Diridh stone circle was built, it would have had magnificent views to the NE across the River Tummel to Ben Vrackie and the Grampians beyond, and to the SW down the River Tay.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeFurther along the road to Ty-Lia allee couverte (see previous) after 100 yards a 5 foot standing stone is visible on the left. Walk through a gateway and the stone is under a tree, with three smaller stones nearby to the south on the other side of the tree and hedge. Image submitted by bishop_pam

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA fairly complete allée couverte, well signposted and in a little grassy area on the island of Ile-Grande, just off the coast near Trebeurden. It is about 9 metres long by 1.5 metres wide, and oriented to 110°. There are two large capstones which cover most of the chamber. Image submitted by DrewParsons

Neolithic and Bronze AgeWhat was originally a neolithic chamber is now bizarre in appearance, consisting of a capstone apparently delicately balanced on just two tall pointed supporting stones. Although difficult to reach, the effort required is worthwhile. Image submitted by Bladup

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThe Long Rock takes some finding, concealed as it is (was?) by a small wood and a blanket of ferns. It is 2.4 meters long with a smooth face that used to lean towards the southeast and tapers slightly at the top. Image submitted by FionaR
We have many photos on our page of this stone standing up but FionaR sadly found it on its side on a recent visit. Apparently it was knocked over by a falling tree in the severe storm in January. It would be good to see this re-erected and the archaeology investigated at some point. Read More | 3 News and Comments | Category: Our Photo Pages

Neolithic and Bronze AgeDespite looking very difficult to get to on my maps, this lateral entry allée couverte to the southwest of Loguivy is actually very easy to find, as a new housing developement has been made, with the roads through it signposted to the allée couverte, and then a little trackway made up to it.

Early MedievalEarly Christian cross, round tower, rare medieval monastery complex, holy well, bullaun stone and rag tree. The monastery was founded by St Ciaran the Elder in the 5th century, which makes Saighir one of the earliest church/monastic sites in Ireland, older than Clonmacnoise and older than St. Patrick by the tradition that made Ciaran one of the pre-Patrician saints.

Springs and Holy WellsThis must be the most unusual location for a holy well. The well is in the cave and only accessible at low tide. Water seeps from the multi-coloured rock and mothers formerly crossed the sands of Holywell Bay to immerse their ailing children in the healing water. Real pagan magic here with no obvious Christianisation. Image submitted by TheCaptain
SAD NEWS - it appears a major cliff collapse overnight 29 August 2026 at Holywell Bay beach has sealed off the beautiful holy well in the cave. Read More | 9 News and Comments | Category: Our Photo Pages

Roman, Greek and ClassicalThree semicircular apses open off a square central space, roofless now, the fill of the vaults showing where the tiles have gone. This was a Roman tomb, built in the fourth century for the owners of a wealthy villa whose remains lie scattered about a hundred metres away. The masonry is original: small blocks of tufa laid in courses, in the technique called opus vittatum, with brick used inside and tufa outside. Image submitted by Anne T

Modern SitesThe experimental earthwork on Overton Down, its bank and ditch cut into the chalk in 1960 so that archaeologists could watch how such a structure weathers and settles. The posts along the crest belong to the monitoring. The point of the exercise was and is to dig sections through it at planned intervals over more than a century, and so measure decay against a known starting point rather than infer it.

Neolithic and Bronze AgetheCaptain writes: I thought I had seen some pretty impressive megalithic constructions before, but the Locmariaquer ones are making me think again. This is a massively long passage grave, built in at least two different ages, and much repaired/restored with slabs of concrete. We have many more pictures on our page, including some from the inside. Image submitted by stonetracker

Neolithic and Bronze AgeNot far off the busy road between Morlaix and Roscoff, this Tee shaped allée couverte is apparently a very good example of the type, but it has become very overgrown and unloved, almost part of its surrounding field. Image submitted by TheCaptain

A hundred and sixty-five miles of border barrier are proposed straight through a federal and state protected canyon holding twenty-seven painted rock shelters. The threat is not the bulldozer but the blasting: vibration can shake painted limestone off a cliff face hundreds of yards from the workings.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeTwo ancient cairns on a summit on the island of Fasta. The smallest cairn still has a part of a dry-walling, but most is collapsed during time. The site is visitable by a nice 500 m long footpath through a canyon, passing a small cave, a boulderfield and a tower. Image submitted by jopplanje
