Carn Briw
Date Added: 3rd Dec 2024
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Yes on 19th Oct 2024. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 3
Carn Briw submitted by pab on 21st Oct 2007. Carn Briw, from the northern slopes of Mynydd Ingli, on which the wonderful Carn Ingli 'sits' - or should that be 'is enthroned'?
COFLEIN refers to this as simply "A disturbed cairn, 17m in diameter and 1.8m high." The name Carn Briw in fact means just ...'shattered heap of stones'!
What a sad name for such an atmospheric place.

Black Hill Cairns
Date Added: 3rd Dec 2024
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 3rd Oct 2024. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 5 Access 3
Black Hill Cairns submitted by AngieLake on 28th Jul 2010. A lovely view of Cairn 4 with the moors in the background, looking approx west here.
I kept thinking of Bruce Chatwin's 'On the Black Hill' while exploring here. It was a brilliant book, but set on the Welsh borders, not Dartmoor. He'd have loved this place, though.
[Oddly enough, his home and the book were featured on the BBC 4 'Britain By Bike' episode tonight, 27th July!]

Visited: Saw from a distance on 20th Sep 2024. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4
Kemp Howe submitted by nicoladidsbury on 29th Mar 2004. This is the remains of what must have been a beautiful stone circle. The stones are pink granite and have a lovely glow. Unfortunately the ambience has been shattered by the "wonderful" victorians, who built the railway on top of it.

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?

Long Meg submitted by JanF on 22nd Jun 2010. Long Meg (and her daughters) Stone Circle, Cumbria UK, is a magical place.. I watched the sunset on this special day in memory of my loved one.. Many others were here with me.. Complete strangers, but yet close friends..

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!

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.

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...
