Figsbury Rings
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 25th Feb 2010
Figsbury Rings submitted by AngieLake on 25th Feb 2010. I don't think the late John Michell would begrudge us the sight of this photo [credited to 'Cambridge University collection'] on page 81 of 'A Little History of Astro-Archaeology', 2001 edition, Thames & Hudson.
Thom's plan shows a mound which would have been visible from Stonehenge as a mark of a southern extreme of the moon.

Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: England (Cumbria)
Visited: Yes on 18th Nov 2005
Giants Grave, Kirksanton submitted by AngieLake on 18th Nov 2005. I wonder if this is what Jack is referring to as the cup-mark on the eastern stone at Kirksanton? (See the large circular mark about 1/3 of the way up the near stone).

Goonhilly tumuli
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 26th Oct 2007
Goonhilly tumuli submitted by AngieLake on 26th Oct 2007. This is another burial mound near Dry Tree menhir. Indeed, when I was searching for the stone with my dowsing rods, on 22nd May 07, I was led here, so am wondering if the stone (which was re-erected) might possibly have stood on this mound originally?
(The bracken was very vigorous then, and it was difficult to access, but two large stones stand either side of the mound, one slightly obscured in the vegetation!)
Please see plan submitted for this site's position, to the east of Dry Tree me...

Gournay-Sur-Aronde
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: France (Picardie:Oise (60))
Visited: Yes on 13th Dec 2008
Gournay-Sur-Aronde submitted by AngieLake on 13th Dec 2008. The placement of human and animal remains in the enclosing ditch at Gournay-sur-Aronde. Deposits of weapons were also carefully placed in the ditch.
[Drawing after Jean-Lewis Brunaux].
This comes from Mysteries of the Ancient World, edited by Judith Flanders, (Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1998).
Can't help wondering if the ox-burial outside Bryn Celli Ddu is a similar 'Druid' ritual monument.
Maybe King Arthur's Hall was too?

Grange (Co. Limerick)
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Ireland (Republic of) (Co. Limerick)
Visited: Yes on 30th Sep 2007
Grange (Co. Limerick) submitted by AngieLake on 30th Sep 2007. A view along the entrance passage to Grange (also known as Lios) Circle in Limerick, Southern Ireland. At Summer Solstice the sun shines along this passage, into the centre of the circle, which is the 'largest and finest in Ireland'.
You can see the 'V' notch in the stones on the opposite side of the circle, which could have framed the setting sun on Winter Solstice.

Great Cursus Barrows, Stonehenge
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Jan 2009
Great Cursus Barrows, Stonehenge submitted by AngieLake on 2nd Jan 2009. I think some people will be shocked by the view of Stonehenge from the Cursus Barrows. The stones are almost hidden behind the buildings and vehicles in the car park.
The site of the mesolithic posts would be at the right here, with the western one behind the toilet block.

Grey Mare and her Colts submitted by AngieLake on 6th Nov 2005. The fallen stone of the facade of Grey Mare and Her Colts, with field gate not too far away for escape route when the cows come running, as they did when I visited! In the distance there are several hillforts. I managed a visit to one - Eggardon - later that day in May.

Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 5th Nov 2005
Grimspound submitted by AngieLake on 5th Nov 2005. A confused time-traveller fumbles out through the huge portalled gateway of Grimspound settlement on Dartmoor. Will he be swallowed by the mist before he reaches his machine!?? (Will Angie get rapped on the knuckles for posting another gateway picture??) This inside-outside view (the lower pic is looking uphill towards Hameldown Tor - 529m at SE - from inside the protecting walls), gives an idea of the scale of it. Behind our intrepid hero (a 6ft human being from the 21st century, by the na...
