Chun Quoit
Date Added: 27th Mar 2013
Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 8th Mar 2013. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3

Chun Quoit submitted by sem on 16th Jun 2005. The capstone and the horizon.
There is a theory that dolmens (or quoits as they are known in Cornwall) were not totally covered in earth but the capstones were left uncovered and were a copy of the horizon. I have manipulated the tones in this shot to show this, but no shapes have been altered.

Knock Stone Circle
Date Added: 27th Mar 2013
Site Type: Modern Stone Circle etc

Knock Stone Circle submitted by Andy B on 12th Mar 2011. A faux stone circle, located by Knock in the Bathgate Hills, 2 miles (3 km) northeast of Bathgate in West Lothian. Comprising 50 stones, arranged in two concentric circles in a field by the roadside, the circle was built as a 50th Birthday surprise for the farmer by his son in 1998 and was undoubtedly inspired by the nearby Neolithic site at Cairnpapple Hill.
