Merrivale SW row 3
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 29th Oct 2004
Merrivale SW row 3 submitted by AngieLake on 29th Oct 2004. In the foreground, Merrivale Single Row 3 (see thecaptain's overview plan) at sunset on 21st September, the day before the Autumn Equinox, 2004. In the distance, in the glare of the setting sun, can be seen the two west end stones of the southern row. Two other taller stones on the south side of that southern row are also visible above centre, and to right of pic. ('Thecaptain' has a theory that these, and other taller stones in the rows, align with the menhir at certain times of the year.) T...

Merry Maidens (Circle)
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 6th Jan 2006
Merry Maidens (Circle) submitted by AngieLake on 6th Jan 2006. This arc of the Merry Maidens is bathed in light from the setting sun on May 25th 2005. The nearest stone to the camera was approximately at the ESE of the circle, and such an unusual shape compared to the other more rectangular ones that I christened it the 'Goddess Stone', as it has the curvy shape of a female torso and was the focus of the final part of my ritual movement dowsing exercise. (The first part of the movement addressed 290 degs - sunward - on a short looping walk out of the circle...

Metherall Settlement submitted by AngieLake on 23rd Aug 2006. Shall we see this rare sight more often as global warming takes effect? These ancient hut circles are usually under the water of Fernworthy Reservoir. Find them just below the main car park after a very dry spell (such as summer 2006).

Moel Ty Uchaf
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Denbighshire)
Visited: Yes on 17th Jul 2006
Moel Ty Uchaf submitted by AngieLake on 17th Jul 2006. This is the side nearest the ridge upon which Moel ty Uchaf stands, of the pile of stones I was led to whilst dowsing a ritual movement route at the site. At first glance it appeared to resemble a collapsed cairn or tomb. I came from Moel ty Uchaf's circle, down over the slope in a roughly southerly direction, at an angle towards my left slightly but aiming straight towards it (not having seen it before hand). On the way, there were three separate single anticlockwise movements, at equal dista...

Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 10th Oct 2005
Monument 280 submitted by AngieLake on 10th Oct 2005. View of Monument 280 with Druids Circle in the background. The closeness of the kerb-like stones left of centre gave it the appearance of a ruined cairn.

Moss Farm Stone
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Scotland (Isle of Arran)
Visited: Yes on 8th Sep 2008
Moss Farm Stone submitted by AngieLake on 8th Sep 2008. This is the view of Moss Farm standing stone looking towards a boulder which has been inscribed as a present-day memorial. (Hence the fencing around it.)
I wasn't sure if the boulder was brought there recently or always stood in that place, to the NE of the standing stone.
(The flat face viewed here is the stone's West face, the other facing East.)

Nine Stones (Belstone)
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 9th Sep 2007
Nine Stones (Belstone) submitted by AngieLake on 9th Sep 2007. Excuse the poor quality of this compilation pic, but it shows the circle, the river, and to the right, the long stone lying outside the north arc of the circle.
Butler thinks that the full complement of stones are probably present and that this 1.75m fallen slab once stood erect in the single socket hole adjacent to it. He writes that: "The curious arrangement of close-set slabs on the north-west side and the rest being irregularly spaced around the circumference seems to have been the orig...

Nine Stones (Dorset) submitted by AngieLake on 16th Oct 2005. Has anyone noticed these apparent cup marks along the rear of the stone that is lodged in the tree root?

Normanton Down submitted by AngieLake on 14th May 2010. Stonehenge from Normanton Down, just near the junction of the very busy A303. With the large round barrow to SW of Stonehenge behind me, this view to NE lines up with the 'spine' of Stone 16 in the SW arc of the sarsen circle.
