Threatened Rock Shelters in Islamabad
Date Added: 4th Apr 2012
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: Pakistan
Visited: Yes on 25th Jan 2011
Threatened Rock Shelters in Islamabad submitted by Andy B on 25th Jan 2011. A ‘rock shelter’ (also known as rock house, crepuscular cave or ‘abri’) is a shallow cave-like opening at the base of a bluff or cliff. ‘Rock shelters’ form because a rock stratum such as sandstone, which is resistant to erosion and weathering, has formed a cliff or bluff, but a softer stratum, more subject to erosion and weathering, lies just below the resistant stratum, and thus undercuts the cliff.

Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes
The Devil's Bed and Bolster submitted by JimChampion on 18th Apr 2007. In the foreground are the stones that presumably formed part of the end chamber in the tomb. Beyond are the stones at the entrance. The cut logs show that there has been some clearance of woody plants from the remains of the barrow mound. Signs on a nearby fencepost indicate that this barrow is alongside a 'conservation walk' - a phrase usually used for a permissive path around an area of natural/historical interest. Thankfully there weren't too many nettles beneath these trees - I was wearing s...

The Calderstones
Trip No.14 Entry No.1 Date Added: 13th May 2019
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: England (Merseyside)
Visited: Would like to visit on 6th Sep 2012
The Calderstones submitted by Andy B on 6th Sep 2012. John Reppion writes: The plastic sheeting the stones are wrapped in looks like it may have been loosened since the first time I saw it (last month), possibly to let the stones "breathe" a bit more. Nevertheless the conditions seem terribly humid for a fragile prehistoric sandstone monument which is very susceptible to moisture damage.
