New King Barrows submitted by AngieLake on 17th May 2010. This is the barrow down-slope towards Stonehenge from the New King Barrows. I'm told it is known as Barrow 40. IIRC it lies to the south of the site of The Avenue.

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?

Browne’s Hill
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Portal Tomb
Country: Ireland (Republic of) (Co. Carlow)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Aug 2005
Browne’s Hill submitted by AngieLake on 22nd Aug 2005. Browneshill Dolmen photographed in July 1999. This huge capstone is the heaviest in Europe, weighing about 150 tons according to the site noticeboard. The brown heritage noticeboard at the layby next to the R726 (find it on the right opposite a garage, about 2 miles outside Carlow going east) has the Irish name too: 'Dolman Chnoc an Bhrunaigh' and the English 'Brownshill Dolmen' underneath. (The spellings vary locally). There is gate here and a fenced lane leading to the dolmen, which you can...

When visiting in 2001 and dowsing the site, I took compass reading that showed this entrance faced towards NNE.

Derreenataggart
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Ireland (Republic of) (Co. Cork)
Visited: Yes on 16th Sep 2004
Derreenataggart submitted by AngieLake on 16th Sep 2004. Here's another view of the circle near Castletownbere, on the Beara Peninsula in West Cork. The spelling on the brown pointer notice board at the site was 'Derrintaggart West', but in the Discovery Map series it is referred to as Derreenataggart. It is a beautiful site that I hope to return to one day: one of the hundreds of megalithic sites that litter the Beara Peninsula.

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.

Lough Gur E
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: Ireland (Republic of) (Co. Limerick)
Visited: Yes on 15th Mar 2008
Lough Gur E submitted by AngieLake on 15th Mar 2008. This site, taken from camcorder footage from the field gate, was just across the road, to the right of the farmhouse when viewed from Grange circle. Therefore, it must have been NW. The farmer showed me the site but I didn't go into the field to read the sign by the stones, and because it was 7 years ago, I don't recall what the farmer said about it!

Aberlemno
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Scotland (Angus)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Nov 2004
Aberlemno submitted by AngieLake on 2nd Nov 2004. The reverse (south side) of my favourite Pictish stone at Aberlemno seemed to have cup-marks carved in the lower part of it. This shot taken 5th July 2001.
This is one of the finest Class I Pictish stones. It is of sandstone and stands on the roadside to the north of the church. The design shows a snake, double-disc and Z-rod with a mirror and comb below

Temple Wood S submitted by AngieLake on 12th Nov 2005. Temple Wood on a sunny day in 2002. The central cist below, and all the stone arrangements immediately around it looked too neat, somehow. Just part of an amazing area of megalithic sites running SSW/NNE through the Kilmartin Glen in Argyll.
