Log Text: Visited again and pleased to report that the gates to the Lady Chapel were open - thus allowing unrestricted access to the Hedda Stone.
An information board (elsewhere in the Cathedral) states : 'For centuries the Hedda Stone sat outside and was thought to mark the grave of Abbot Hedda (hence the name) and 83 monks killed by Vikings in 870'

Maiden Castle (Cheshire)
Date Added: 14th Jun 2014
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Cheshire)
Visited: Yes on 14th Jun 2014. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 2 Access 3
Maiden Castle (Cheshire) submitted by PaulM on 13th Jan 2004. Approximately two thirds of the way along the ramparts lies this inturned entrance, designed to protect the fort’s point of greatest weakness. The entrance narrows from circa 5 metres at the outer rampart to 2.5 metres at the end of the inner rampart and was protected by a gate about two thirds of the way down, the postholes of which were discovered during excavations in 1934 and 1935.

Log Text: After a 1.5 hour drive to get here i must admit i was disapointed with this hillfort.Unless you knew it was there/what to look for it'd be very easy to just pass it by.
A good site up on the promontory for a fort but now very liitle to see and virtualy no ambience whatsoever.
One to 'tick off the list' but not one i want to return to.

Log Text: Been meaning to visit here for many years.
Sad to say that the visit left me underwhelmed.
The invasive rhododendrons comletely covered the right hand side of the chamber. The inside of the chamber was cluttered with briars,weeds and undergrowth,making access to it nigh on impossible.
Only the portal stones and the stones on the left hand side of the chamber were visible (externally) and weed free.
This site desperately needs a bit of t.l.c.
Maybe the next visitor could take a pair of secateurs and garden gloves - they're sorely needed!

Andle Stone (Stanton Moor) submitted by PaulM on 1st Sep 2001. The Andle Stone, near Doll Tor Stone Circle, Stanton Moor, Derbyshire GR: SK241630
The Andle Stone or Oundle Stone is a dominating outcrop of sandstone, standing alone in the middle of a field, surrounded by a dry-stone wall and a mass of rhododendrons. Approximately 5m high by 4.5m wide, the rock is supposedly carved with ancient cupmarks on the, modern graffiti, a relatively recent inscription and climbing holes on the sides.
