Log Text: The main difficulty in visiting Pennance Entrance Grave is finding somewhere to park. The monument has been thoughtlessly ruined by modern farming, yet it retains some ancient ambiance.

Overton Hill barrow cemetery submitted by Humbucker on 26th Dec 2017. Overton Hill Barrow Cemetery. A fantastically atmospheric place to visit, especially during the winter months when most other visitors tend to stick to Avebury or The Ridgeway itself.

Log Text: It is a pleasant change to find a standing stone conveniently located on the roadside close to a lay-by. Look out for a recumbent stone on the opposite side of the road.

Date Added: 20th Oct 2022
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Scotland (Dumfries and Galloway)
Visited: Yes on 16th Oct 2022. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 3
North Cairn (Cairn Hill) submitted by markj99 on 19th Oct 2022. E Half of North Cairn (Cairn Hill).
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: The location of North Cairn (Cairn Hill) on the summit of Cairn Hill is an obvious choice, given the 360° panoramic views from this modest hill. The other notable point is the destructive addition of a stone wall across the cairn.
Nine Stones (Altarnun)
Date Added: 14th Dec 2022
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 11th Apr 2018. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 3
Nine Stones (Altarnun) submitted by stonedowser on 1st Feb 2002. The circle at Altarnun is right out on the open moor and there is an excellent cairn circle not too far away, (if you can find it). As far as dowsing goes it is quite straightforward

Log Text: The flatness of the moor and the splendid isolation of Nine Stones (Altarnun) enhance this stone circle. One of the best sites in Cornwall!

Log Text: It is easy to visit this stone row from a dedicated lay-by on the A39. The substantial length of the stone row and height of the stones are impressive.

Nether Largie standing stone

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Scotland (Argyll)
Visited: Yes on 30th Apr 2010. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Nether Largie standing stone submitted by caradoc68 on 18th Aug 2012. This standing stone is in the middle of a field, a short distance of the footpath. The farmer does not like you being there and might put a angry looking bull in the field to put visitors off. Cant find a lot written about this stone or why it seems to be leaning at 45 degrees and pointing to the southeast.

Log Text: Nether Largie standing stone is one of the minor sites to visit in Kilmartin Glen. However, it is only a short detour from Nether Largie Stone Row.

Visited: Yes on 30th Apr 2010. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 4
Nether Largie South submitted by Fairycake on 26th Sep 2020. Looking towards the cairn from the south with the large cist in the foreground. This is by far the biggest cist I have seen. There are several inserted into earlier monuments near to here, apart from this, showing these sites continued to have significance over a long period of time.

Log Text: The central chamber of Nether Largie South Cairn is the most impressive aspect of this monument.

Log Text: Nether Largie North Cairn looks to be intact from a distance. Reality bites when the metal hatch on the summit comes into view. The central chamber and cist have been over restored.

Log Text: I appreciate that this ruined cairn is not worth a visit in itself but if you are visiting other sites in the area it may merit a short detour. I have included detailed instructions for travel from north and south on the main page.
Narrator Brookhead Enclosure
Date Added: 30th Aug 2025
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 29th Nov 2017. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 2
Narrator Brookhead Enclosure submitted by TheCaptain on 21st Nov 2010. There is an opening in the southeastern part of the walling, marked with large upright slabs, and facing directly towards the large cairn.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: The mystery of this enclosure is increased by its proximity to several cairns and a stone row. The quiet isolation of the site is in contrast to the importance of this area in the Bronze Age as suggested by multiple sites and settlements.
