Gatcombe Lodge
Date Added: 5th Aug 2022
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 25th Jul 2022. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 3
Gatcombe Lodge submitted by thecaptain on 24th Mar 2009. Having read several tales of people being stopped and questioned by rapidly arriving police here, I didn’t spend long, and just took a photo from the entry to the estate.
It looks to be the regular shapeless lumpy bumpy mess covered in trees.

Log Text: site is fenced and has mature trees grown on it. these will have destroyed much of the internal structure. Gatcombe is a royal residence with security staff so it is not advisable to go on the land, and there's nout to see anyway.
Giant's Graves (Isle of Arran)
Date Added: 13th May 2023
Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: Scotland (Isle of Arran)
Visited: Yes on 6th May 2023. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 5 Access 2
Giant's Graves (Isle of Arran) submitted by tsujigiri on 28th Jul 2005. First shot from behind the site. The day was a bit rainy off and on and the overcast sky made the lighting a bit iffy for my digital camera. The climb up was very invigorating and well worth the effort.
Unfortuneately, I neglected to get a shot from the front of the main site. Maybe next time I'm up there.

Log Text: a great way to see how people mined copper in the Bronze age. they used fire to break the rock, and must have been expert at ventilation. they also smelted it on site.
Great Skirtful of Stones
Date Added: 2nd Jan 2021
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Yorkshire (West))
Visited: Yes on 26th Sep 2020. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 3
Great Skirtful of Stones submitted by DavidRaven on 9th Jul 2003. A massive cairn near the Grubstones circle. It sits in a very exposed part of the moor, over 1150 feet above sea level, overlooking the Wharfe valley. A fallen stone lies in the centre of the 'crater', like a recumbent menhir - though it may be nothing of the sort.
