Site Type: Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature
Country: England (Yorkshire (North))
Visited: Would like to visit
The Bridestones (Staindale) submitted by Sunny100 on 20th Sep 2010. Probably one of the best known of the sandstone rock formations known as The Bridestones at Staindale, North York Moors, is the salt-seller or pepperpot standing at 30 feet tall on its slender stone pedestal. Erosion over thousands of years has caused these curious shapes to occur.

Stoke Flat
Date Added: 13th Feb 2022
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
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...

St Augustine's Well (Cerne Abbas)
Date Added: 22nd Jun 2016
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 9th Jan 2005
St Augustine's Well (Cerne Abbas) submitted by ermine on 9th Jan 2005. St Augustine's well in Cerne Abbas is a tranquil place. Walk up Abbey Street and turn into the graveyard - the well is a couple of hundred yards alond the track. The flow is good and was the village's source of drinking water in the last century.
The Abbey nearby is also worth a visit, as well as the nearby Giant hillfigure.

Rolstone submitted by TheCaptain on 20th Jan 2018. Near Cannaway's Farm, this stone stands in the middle of a field.
Apologies for awful picture. It was a miserable wet and misty day, and the batteries on my camera had died, so this was taken from the fieldgate on my phone.

Mutlow Hill
Date Added: 22nd Jun 2016
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Cambridgeshire)
Visited: Yes on 4th Oct 2004
Mutlow Hill submitted by ermine on 4th Oct 2004. Mutlow Hill, on Fleam Dyke. Looking southeast
The Saxons often used round barrows for secondary burials or, as here, as "mutlows". These were meeting places (mut= meet and low is from hlaw - a sacred mound) At the local mutlow, local matters would be discussed, laws proclaimed and disputes settled. Sometimes punishments or executions would take place and many mutlows retained this last feature and became gallows hills.

You'd be forgiven for thinking this is a dolmen, and it is locally listed as such, but Burl sets you right. These stones were originally a passage grave with an earth mound on top

Le Petit Ménec
Date Added: 22nd Jun 2016
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: France (Bretagne:Morbihan (56))
Visited: Yes on 6th Aug 2004
Le Petit Ménec submitted by ermine on 6th Aug 2004. Confusingly, Petit-Menéc is in fact at the opposite, eastern end of the alignments to le Menéc village at the western end. You need to turn left onto the D186 main road after continuing from Kerlescan. After about 250m turn right into a minor road going past a forest, there is a clearing where you can park after about 400m. The menhirs are in the forest on your right, arranged in a gentle curve. You don't get the same clear overview of the alignments since the view is obscured by the trees, bu...

Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Suffolk)
Visited: Yes on 4th Oct 2004
Lady Well, Woolpit submitted by ermine on 4th Oct 2004. The actual site of the well is difficult to find, as it feeds a moat so there is a lot of water about. This brick enclosure is the well itself.
