Neolithic and Bronze AgeA 3.5 metre tall menhir, stood outside the main entrance to St Julien Cathedral, Le Mans, in the department of Sarthe. A truly lovely stone, made from a very heavily stratified, and vividly coloured rock. From certain angles, and in the right light, it looks for all the world to be a man dressed in hooded cloak stood outside the entrance of this sacred place. Image submitted by w650marion

Springs and Holy WellsA stone built well-house sitting beside a path along the River Helmsdale which is on the A9 south of Wick. Water from the well flows across the track and into the river. The well is located just across the river from the site of St John the Baptist’s Chapel, the probable remains of which consist of a low earth bank in a burial ground. Image submitted by hoya105

Rock ArtAn easily accessible rock petroglyph site next to a wooden corral on Route 162, about 0.2 miles east of Bluff UT town center. The rock art, on a large boulder face at the end of the parking area, is a melange of horse images as well as elk and probably deer. All are in good condition.The horse images are from the historic period, as domesticated horses were not introduced until the Spanish arrived in the 16th and 17th centuries CE. There are also a few scattered abstract images that could be prehistoric. Image submitted by stonetracker

Neolithic and Bronze AgeOn Blakey Ridge about 400m (¼ of a mile) to the south of Blakey Junction is an old sandstone quarry whose northern edge is the ‘Site of’ a bronze age round barrow, named Trattle Howe on historical OS maps. The 1857 OS map shows the barrow still all in one piece to the immediate north and still separate from the quarry. Image submitted by johndhunter

Neolithic and Bronze AgeAlthough vandalised this is still a very impressive structure along with its sister cairn Carn Biga I (seen here to the right of this photo). These two cairns stand out very strongly in the surrounding area and can be seen on the skyline from the source of the Severn to the west and from Carn Fach Bugeilyn cairn to the NW.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeLong Barrow with Chambered Tomb in Saxony-Anhalt. The original size of the long barrow was about 46.5 x 6.5 x 4.8m (A bit smaller on the south end). The barrow had about 60 kerbstones, 53 of them are still there. All of these kerbstones have fallen and are out of place, this mass of de-arranged stones give the tomb a bit of a weird look.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThe remains of a fairly large megalithic structure with a single capstone resting (just) on three support stones. It looks like a fourth support has recently broken and fallen, it looks most precarious and that it could fall at any time. The main chamber is about 4 metres by 2 metres and 2 metres high.

Neolithic and Bronze Age150 metres southeast of White Moor Stone circle stands this stone, which is more than 5 feet in height, and has been adapted as a parish boundary stone, with its parish marks cut into it. This stone is almost certainly much older than just a boundary stone, and is likely to be associated in some way with the circle. Image submitted by TheCaptain

Pre-ColumbianCannon Ball Mesa is an extensive area that stretches along County Rd G west of Cortez CO to nearly the Utah border. There are ruins of small Ancestral Pueblo structures tucked in many places along this land form. The ruins are very small and typically facing south under very large boulders or overhangs. I was able to find 4 or 5 different sites but I'm sure there are more. Image submitted by stonetracker

Access is poor as the area is a nature reserve, but a good view can be had from the high observation hide overlooking the marshes on the edge of the woods. The camp was also reputedly used by the Danes. Image submitted by Bladup
