Site Type: Henge
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 6th Nov 2005
Knowlton Rings submitted by AngieLake on 6th Nov 2005. This area of the henge seemed very mystical, probably an original entrance between the two yew trees when the church was in use?

Kinnerton submitted by AngieLake on 9th Aug 2008. The stone at Kinnerton. I didn't want to disturb the ponies in the field, so had to be content with this shot from the gate.

King Stone at the Rollrights
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Oxfordshire)
Visited: Yes on 4th Jul 2006
King Stone Round Cairn submitted by AngieLake on 4th Jul 2006. The King Stone viewed from near the brow of the hill to its north, and a cairn-like circle of stones that were possibly in the area of the tumulus mentioned in the legend. Unsure if these have always been in this position.
The Kings Men are across the road behind the trees, to the far right of this view.

King Doniert's Stone
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 19th Oct 2004
King Doniert's Stone submitted by AngieLake on 19th Oct 2004. In this picture, the interlaced engraving on the side of the tallest stone can be seen more clearly. Granite is very hard stone to carve, so it must have taken a long time to make those patterns. The inscription about King Doniert is on the shaded side of the shorter stone in the foreground.

King Arthur's Hall
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 15th Jul 2005
King Arthur's Hall submitted by AngieLake on 15th Jul 2005.
Blessed by lovely weather, my visit to this strange site was enhanced by the cloud of fluffy white bog cotton dancing in the breeze. This view looks diagonally back towards the entrance gate, with Roughtor behind me in the distance, at 38degs from the largest pointed stone near to the camera. Note the way the two large pointed stones stick up on the 'west' side of the site. The tallest of these aligns at 109degs with Roughtor. It struck me how much the three of them (with a shorter one bet...

Kestor Settlement
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 24th Oct 2004
Kestor Settlement submitted by AngieLake on 24th Oct 2004. This old plan of Kes Tor hut circles and fields, includes the Round Pound. It appears that the line of parallel stones that theCaptain queried could be an old drove way. (Here referred to as 'Lower Drove Way'). In very small letters halfway up the right side of the plan, near the letter 'A', is 'Upper Drove Way'. The small print at the bottom of pic says: "Fig 2. General Plan of the Settlement at Kestor, by E.C.Curwen and R.Gurd, with additions. The field walls of the stippled areas are of...

Kenidjack Common holed stones
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 19th Jul 2005
Kenidjack Common holed stones submitted by AngieLake on 19th Jul 2005. Described as Kenidjack Holed Stones in Ian McNeil Cooke's book, Journey to the Stones, this was my first view late afternoon (slightly dull then), looking approximately west from the largest one towards the other two that remain standing. Apparently they were re-erected after the mid-19th century.

Hurston Ridge
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 14th Aug 2005
Hurston Ridge submitted by AngieLake on 14th Aug 2005. This is the lower end of the long Hurston Ridge avenue, showing how the stones turn towards another angle (19 degs) as they approach the blocking stone. Standing back beside the straight side of the avenue, looking up its length, I measured the orientation of the avenue to be 198 degs, yet there seemed to be a definite turn in this end of it. If you stand behind the stone at far left and look towards the blocking stone, you will see it aligns with Kes Tor rock at 375 degs.

Holywell Bay
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 12th Sep 2005
Holywell Bay submitted by AngieLake on 12th Sep 2005. "Sunset and evening star and one clear call for me......"
I would like to dedicate this Holywell Bay sunset to all those poor souls who perished in 'Nine Eleven'. If the Earth lasts out for another four thousand years someone might be investigating what our generation did, and what monuments we left behind. The former 'Twin Towers' of Manhattan, and the ensuing 'Ground Zero' would be well-documented, but I wonder how they will access their historic records then? Meanwhile, to help to ensur...

Hindwell Enclosure

Site Type: Timber Circle
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 9th Aug 2008
Hindwell Enclosure submitted by AngieLake on 9th Aug 2008. NB: Copyright: Rodney Castleden from his book 'Britain 3000 BC'.
I am sure Mr Castleden wouldn't begrudge us the use of this helpful map on p.71 of the above book, to enable us to understand the layout of the various sites in the Walton Basin. He describes this area's prehistory under the heading 'Hindwell - a major ceremonial focus in Wales.'
(Note the Fourstones, upper left.)
See 'Walton Palisaded Enclosure' site page for photos taken from Old Radnor Church, looking out over the fla...
