Hambledon Hill hillfort
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 12th Oct 2005
Hambledon Hill hillfort submitted by AngieLake on 12th Oct 2005. A composite picture of Hambledon Hill, taken from the SE of the hillfort.
(Excuse the difference in tone!)
Sadly, I didn't have time to explore and cattle were roaming freely in its central area, but it was thrilling to see the well-preserved ramparts.

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.

Halliggye
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Souterrain (Fogou, Earth House)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 4th Jul 2006
Halliggye submitted by AngieLake on 4th Jul 2006. When I visited in May 2006 there was too much mud in the passage to try making an entry. Even with boots on I'd have been in peril of slipping up on my bum! This shows the area's fencing. Would hate to stumble across a hole like this in the dark!

Gwernvale
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 16th Oct 2007
Gwernvale submitted by AngieLake on 16th Oct 2007. A reconstruction of the appearance of Gwernvale from 'The Brecon Beacons National Park' [Countryside Commission Official Guide] by Roger Thomas, Webb & Bower (Michael Joseph), 1987.
What fascinated me was the arrangement of posts at the 'false entrance' in the horned forecourt, as I always get three or four 'rod-openings' [ie: my L-shaped rods open at right-angles to each other] on final approach to the 'entrance' during ritual movement dowses at chambered tombs.
Here, it says the posts are ...

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...

Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 6th Nov 2005
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.

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.

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.

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?
