The full rundown of the Top 15 single standing stones (and pairs) in the UK according to you, our Megalithic Portal visitors and contributors is here. Also announcing the two winners of the competition. I have added all the sites as entries in my visit log.

The two winners are: Most correctly guessed entries: Xseawitch45 on Instagram. Had it not been for my slight curveball at #4 she would have almost entirely nailed it! Remarkable. 2nd prize drawn from all the entries who correctly guessed a stone in our Top 10 is: TheSweetCheat on Mastodon. Both have chosen Megalithic Portal T Shirts as they already have our book.

So without further ado here is the first part of the Top 15 - well done to everyone who guessed one or more correctly.

#15 Dry Tree Menhir (Cornwall)
#14 Gardoms Edge Stone (Derbyshire)
#13 Carreg y Big (Arthog) Standing Stone (Gwynedd)
#12 The Drift Stones (Cornwall)
#11 Men Gurta Standing Stone (Cornwall)

#10 Merrivale Menhir (Dartmoor)
#9 Clach An Truishal Standing Stone (Isle of Lewis)
#8 Ty Gwyn Standing Stones (Anglesey)
#7 Penrhos-Feilw Standing Stones(Anglesey)
#6 The King Stone at the Rollrights (Oxfordshire)

Maen llia must be close to the top of that list, also, the Fish stone on the Glan Usk estate, and the Druidstone monolith.

The Pipers (Got to be on the list as they're near the very visited Maidens and the SW one is the most aesthetic and the NE one the tallest in Cornwall)
