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.

Gardoms Edge 1 submitted by PaulM on 1st Sep 2001. Gardom’s Edge Prehistoric Rock Art, Derbyshire GR: SK273730
One of the finest examples of prehistoric rock art in the Peak District. Discovered in 1965 on a large earthfast boulder 25m east of the enclosure , the design consists of a series of cup and ringmarks together with a small spiral and two circles that enclose multiple cupmarks. Unfortunately, the original boulder had to be reburied some years ago as the pattern was quickly eroding away, but an exact replica fibre glass cast now s...

Twelve Apostles (Yorks) submitted by DavidRaven on 2nd Nov 2003. A stunning location! 12 apostles taken 25 October 2003. It looked like someone had lent a helping hand; several of the stones are propped up by smaller rocks at the base.

Log Text: reminded me of the cockpit up near Orton. Larger stones at regular intervals around the bank. It sits south of the crag, on a sloping platform overlooking the Ure valley southwards.
and there is a small cairn about 50 metres away, between it and the crag. The prominent landmark is Addlebrough hill to the sww.

Swinside submitted by AngieLake on 19th Apr 2020. This large block is stone 30 at the South of Swinside circle. It was one of the focal points in a dowse I did there on 19th June 2002, the evening I met Jack Morris Eyton. It was the link with moves 17 and 18 in this plan.

Log Text: Distinctive tall pointed northerly and large squared southerly stones. At some parts of the ring, stones are very close or touching, suggesting that originally it was a solid circle. So it is possible not correct to say it is complete and perfect. To the north east can be seen the peaks of Dunnerdale, ergo you can see Swinside from Dunnerdale fells. There is a good view of the stone circle if you climb up Swinside fell to the west, from where you will also see a grand view of the Lakes peaks, the Dudder estuary, and offshore windmills (sailing just isn’t fun anymore).

White Hag Hill Stone Circle
The circle has eleven stones, and an outlier. It sits on the hillside above an enclosed area containing earth banks, looking very much like an abandoned hillfort, although there is nothing marked on the OS map. Also a fantastic ancient spring called "Kings Well".
