Barclodiad-y-Gawres (Anglesey) submitted by TimPrevett on 13th Apr 2004. A look at the dolmen, which is the top of the cruciform section, inside Barclodiad.
As with many dolmens, the capstone almost seems precariously placed.

Lligwy Burial Chamber submitted by Jimwithnoname on 8th Sep 2011. Amazing dolmen and very unnerving sat underneath the 25 ton capstone. It's perched on very little it seems on the one side. The warden approached us as we sat eating at the site. He asked if we were thinking of stopping the night, which we were, but as he said. that's a no no. We respected him and moved on after our picnic. He was quite pleasant and only doing his job. Many people wild camp as he said, and set fire to crops or drive through hedges!

Stoke Flat submitted by PaulM on 1st Sep 2001. Froggatt Edge stone circle (aka Stoke Flat), Derbyshire GR: SK249768
Froggatt Edge stone circle is set on a flat shelf, overlooking the picturesque Derwent Valley.
Often referred to as Stoke Flat, the site is complex, though now sadly quite ruined. It consists of an embanked stone circle with two entrances exactly opposite, to the north-north-west and south-south-east. Traces of dry-stone walling in the northern entrance suggest that it may have been deliberately blocked at some time in p...

Cilgerran Churchyard submitted by vicky on 4th Apr 2002. Cilgerran Churchyard (SN191431) – one of several standing stones located in churchyards in this part of SW Wales. The stone can be hard to find amongst the similarly grey tombstones and exhibits lettering on one face and crude cross symbols of two other faces. Our research pixie is looking in to this stone further.

Mayburgh submitted by wildtalents on 15th May 2024. The henge banks at Mayburgh were built up mainly using cobbles like those surrounding the one remaining megalith at the site. It's a really large structure and may have been a meeting point for many hundreds of people at a time. These days mainly sheep throng the henge. Image from spring 2023.

Log Text: Finally managed to visit after a number of visits called off due to poor weather. Incredible scale, especially considering it being built from cobbles taken from the river. Was once told it is made up of three colours of rock, from three different sources?

Log Text: Has been on my list of sites to visit for some time, but always a bit far from my where I am in Cumbria or the Dales. What a great stone, complete with cup and ring marks (a first for me on anything other than exposed bedrock or stone repurposed in drystone walls). Standing stone (as a single object) feels well placed to cast a shadow across the landscape, but the subsequent stone circle seems quite odd as it flows down hill. An archaeologist friend of mine was lucky enough to be on a dig here in late 2022!
