Rollright Stones
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Oxfordshire)
Visited: Yes on 4th Jul 2005
Rollright Stones submitted by AngieLake on 4th Jul 2005. Rollright Monster??? This weird stone would look good in 'War of the Worlds'! On my first visit, I was stunned by the shapes of some of these gnarled and twisted stones. Here are two views of the tallest of the 'King's Men', taken after the Cotswold Pagans' ceremony on 19th June 2005.

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.

Whispering Knights submitted by AngieLake on 25th Nov 2006. The Whispering Knights discussing the visit of Aubrey Burl on 19th June 2005.
It was a *very* hot day, and Dr Burl and other important people were still cooling off in the marquee by the Kings Men, having walked to see these stones at the end of their new pathway to declare it 'open'.

Stanton Drew Great Circle
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 12th Nov 2004
Stanton Drew Great Circle submitted by AngieLake on 12th Nov 2004. One for Templar - panting sheep, sweating buckets in the May heat, in the shade of a stone of the main avenue. (Two days later, they'd been shorn!) For Liz's info, there was a small iron framework structure in the field, not far from the main entrance gate, that I'd not previously noticed, and a group of people were standing inside it, observing ....maybe afraid of the cows too?

Ham Hill stone circle
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Modern Stone Circle etc
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Jun 2006
Ham Hill stone circle submitted by AngieLake on 2nd Jun 2006. Stone-lovers may have a 'love-hate' relationship with this modern circle at Ham Hill, but the shapes are interesting - especially here, as two curving menhirs seem to acknowledge the daytime moon.

Ham Hill (Somerset)
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Jun 2006
Ham Hill (Somerset) submitted by AngieLake on 2nd Jun 2006. I got permission from the quarry-man to go close enough to take this picture of the strata of the quarry face on Ham Hill. (The one nearest the modern circle). If this transfers to the web page successfully it might be possible to see the layers of stone used to create the Iron Age fort. (At least, that's what it looks like to me!) A similar pic was posted on Porth Island fort near Newquay.

Cow Castle submitted by AngieLake on 30th Apr 2007. Cow Castle from the base of the Calf, the smaller conical hill. You can see the well-worn footpath leading to the fortification. It was a bit cloudy when I got there (about 5.30pm last Weds.), but the sun obliged by coming out later on.
[This is the S/SE side.]

West Kennet Avenue
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 29th Nov 2004
West Kennet Avenue submitted by AngieLake on 29th Nov 2004. West Kennett Avenue - This is my version of "andyb456"'s 'Jaws', viewed from the inside of the avenue. As you can see, he has quite a few holes, and you have to wonder whether they - especially the larger one at wrist level - were significant. I recently asked if anyone has any idea why this particular shape of prominently angled stones (there's one in Callanish's avenue too) were placed where they are. Was there a moon, sun, star alignment for instance, at a particular time of the year? Perhaps...

Avebury
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 6th Jan 2006
Avebury submitted by AngieLake on 6th Jan 2006. This stone is near the ENE henge banks at Avebury. Though it's in the segment where the Cove stands, it is one of the furthest from that feature.
As it was hot and sunny the day after Summer Solstice I made the effort to walk right around the banks barefoot and saw parts of Avebury that I didn't know existed.

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 10th Dec 2006
Cuckoo Stone (Wiltshire) submitted by AngieLake on 10th Dec 2006. A twin shot of the western end of the Cuckoo Stone near Larkhill on 5th December. In the top close-up pic you might notice a round indentation at bottom right of stone, behind a tuft of grass. Don't know if this is significant, or just man's damage.
This was taken around 3pm, looking towards Woodhenge.
