Engine Vein, Alderley Edge Copper Mines submitted by Vicky on 25th Sep 2001. Engine Vein, Prehistoric Copper Mine Workings, Alderley Edge, Cheshire NGR:SJ 861774
The copper mines at Alderley Edge have been mined intermittently during recent centuries from 1693 until 1919, but there is evidence to suggest that Bronze Age man also exploited the ore and there may even have been activity in the area much earlier in the Neolithic period.
A number of Grooved Stone Hammers and other stone implements were discovered lying on sand and gravel a couple of feet below the groun...

Scheduled as an Ancient Monument earlier this year, this mound at Alderley Edge in Cheshire is not only the site of an Armada Beacon (erected in 1578), but is also a Bronze Age barrow.

Arbor Low 2
Date Added: 23rd Aug 2024
Site Type: Henge
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jun 2024
Arbor Low 2 submitted by PaulM on 1st Sep 2001. Arbor Low II Earthworks, Derbyshire GR: SK157633
A second possible henge site, known as Arbor Low II lies to the north-west of Gib Hill. Consisting of a curved ditch, some archaeologists believe it may be an unfinished henge, but others consider it is probably nothing more than a ditch created as a result of stone quarrying in the area.

Log Text: Slight issue visiting this one - a herd of lovely cows had taken refuge in it so we could only look from outside at a short distance and couldn't explore properly. Easy to get to from Wetton Mill, but path is up a hill and a bit hidden

Pendreff Alignement
Date Added: 12th Aug 2024

Country: France (Bretagne:Finistère (29))
Visited: Yes on 1st Jul 2024. My rating: Ambience 5 Access 3
Pendreff Alignement submitted by thecaptain on 7th Dec 2006. The Pendreff Alignement consists of three gorgeous tall slender menhirs standing in a row at the edge of a wood, a couple of kilometres south of Plomeur.
To me, these are supermodels of the menhir world, each being over 5 metres tall yet only 30cm thick, and are very elegantly shaped into curvy features.
