Modern SitesA small stone labyrinth on Bryher, one of the Isles of Scilly. Created in the 1990s, the labyrinth is formed from rounded rocks gathered from the adjacent storm beach and is 5.0 metres in diameter, with two larger rocks placed at the entrance. The design is basically a spiral with five circuits, but with several choices and switch-backs that increase its complexity and make it a simple maze rather than a true labyrinth.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThe main Calanais I site forms a sort of Celtic Cross shape. Check the nearby sites list and map from our page for more details of this and each of the dozens of surrounding standing stone sites.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA stone circle on Mull set in a natural amphitheatre formed by the surrounding hills - a magical place. The 13.4m diameter circle originally consisted of 9 stones, one of which has disappeared and been replaced with a small boulder. The stones range in height from 1.2m to 2m and have flat faces faced inwards. There are 3 outliers, the nearest of which is 0.85m high and lies just to the SE, the tallest 2.7m to the SW.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA Neolithic stone axe quarry on Lambay Island, a small island 4 km off the north Dublin coast, east of Rush. Stone from the island's porphyritic andesite (Lambay Porphyry) outcrops was quarried and worked into polished stone axes from the early Neolithic onwards. Lambay axes have been found at sites across eastern Ireland. The only Neolithic stone axe quarry in Ireland with evidence for all stages of production, from quarrying to final polishing. The island setting meant all raw material had to be transported to the mainland by boat, indicating the value placed on this particular stone source and the maritime capabilities of Neolithic communities in the Irish Sea.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeOne of the smallest Penwith chambered tombs. Only 3 of the 4 support stones remain so the 2.9m square capstone has slipped and leans against the 3m x 1.7m x 1.7m high chamber. Similar to Chûn Quoit but sadly not as well preserved. The capstone has fallen and now leans on the two remaining uprights. There is a possible cup mark on the capstone.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeAt a prominent height in an area of gravel eskers. A shallow forecourt at the eastern end opens between tall portal stones into a two-segment burial gallery. One huge slipped capstone survives. The gallery is surrounded by a rectangular cairn, approx. 30m long x 15m wide. The gallery is 2.25m wide. In the rear of the cairn are two lateral chambers, originally reached between portals tones from the long sides of the cairn.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeIn a lovely location overlooking Kames bay and the mainland hills, but positioned so there are also views of North Arran. It's hard to get photos of the stones as the cairn is covered in gorse. A short but stiff hike up the hill from the road layby.

Early MedievalWith its early origins, we hunted around for any signs of a preaching cross, and whilst there were odd rectangular, worked sandstone blocks around the churchyard, I (Anne T) spotted this limestone Anglo Saxon cross base. A very pleasant location, and interesting to look around. More photos from the church, including Roman pottery, on our page

Neolithic and Bronze AgeA barrow 25 metres long by up to 12 metres across and 0.3 metres high. The barrow is aligned roughly southwest to northeast about 70 metres north of Uffington Castle. The long barrow also seems to be the focal point of a later Romano-British inhumation cemetery.

Iron Age and Later PrehistoryHome to an Iron Age hillfort also known as Kimsbury Camp. The interior has been extensively quarried and parts are now a golf course, but much remains of the ramparts.

Date UncertainStones near the Devil’s Churchyard - These may or may not be stones connected with the rumours and folklore of a megalithic site at The Devil’s Churchyard a little to the west. They are the best and nearest possibility of something megalithic surviving nearby, with big slabs of oolitic limestone. The page also includes a link to Tim's video exploring the The Devil’s Churchyard.

MuseumsPictured is a newly acquired artefact now on display at the museum - a beautifully crafted Saxon ring with gems inset into a bird in flight design at its centre. Described as as "on a par with" the many fine Saxon objects found at the famous Sutton Hoo ship burial.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeStanding Stone in Oxfordshire, part of the Rollright Stones complex. The King Stone is thought to have been erected around 1800 BC. It stands some eight feet tall by a mound of earth, alleged centuries ago to be the remains of a prehistoric tomb, but which was only confirmed as such in the 1980s, when an old covering stone - said to be the entrance to faerie-land - was found to be the entrance to a tumulus, built around the same time as its attendant monolith.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis circle has 14 stones (the dancers - but some of them look like sheep) and an outlier: the Piper. They are also known as the Piper's Stones but as there are other Piper's Stones round about it is usually known by the name of the local townland, so Athgreany.

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThis long barrow (or chambered cairn) was subject to total excavation under Dr Saville - see the comments below on our page to download his report. The barrow was methodically examined layer by layer, to gain information on how it and other Cotswold long barrows were constructed and used and to gain information about the people who built and utilised it. The main chamber (pictured left) is now in the Corinium Museum.

Multi-periodOne of the most significant multi-period cropmark complexes in Scotland, known entirely from aerial photography since its discovery in 1964. The site occupies a river terrace on the south bank of the Tweed near Kelso and spans at least 3,000 years of activity, from the Neolithic to the early medieval period.
