Avebury

Avebury Aerial 0507 submitted by JJ on 4th Nov 2003. Here's my theory: As you can see, the shadows cast on the western side of the circle point to the exact spot for the next stone in line. Perhaps this is why Avebury is more hexagonal in shape than round.
Based on this assumption, then it would be easy to work out the heights of the missing stones without too much difficulty. Maybe the distance between each stone along this side was calculated not by 'linear measurement' but rather set by the preceding stone and shadow cast.

Log Text: The earthworks are still visible although they are low in some places. However they can still be clearly traced. The interior is planted with beech trees and carpeted in bluebells in the spring, when it can often become busy. Outside these times it is usually quiet.

Ballinaby submitted by Andy B on 13th Jun 2011. Standing Stone Near Ballinaby
This tall stone is clearly visible from the road to the north of Loch Gorm, but is hidden from view on the path leading in from Saligo Bay. It's worth the walk. There's a second smaller stone in the next square, just visible in the left-hand side of this shot below a rocky outcrop.

Park at the Mull Pottery and take the track just north of the buildings which leads west up-hill. The stones are around 400m in, on a raised platform. There are 3 stones here, the centre one being recumbent. The northern stone is the larger, being just over 2.5m in height. The row runs roughly N-S, and the southern stone is well under 2m. The central recumbent stone looks as if it would have been the largest, it's around 3m long in its current position.
This is a p...

Log Text: Visited this impressive site on a fine spring evening. The lengthening shadows helped to show the height of the banks and how the henge fits into the surrounding landscape. Although located very close to the city of Belfast, the urban landscape feels a world away here.

Log Text: A circle which is not only interesting, but also evocative and atmospheric. There is a short walk from the A30 layby through Willowherb and Bracken to reach it, and a small rise in the path affords a tantalising preview glimpse of the circle just before arriving at it. Boscawen Un sits within its own enclosure, but even without this it would still have a tangible sense of place and space.
The leaning central stone is a focal point, but the whole site has a special fascination and beauty.

Log Text: Situated within easy reach of Criccieth this site deserves to be better known even if it has sustained some damage. Rather than accessing it from the car park off the main road I think it is best appreciated by walking along the path by Dylan's restaurant between the railway and the golf course. The path turns sharp left to cross the railway and at this point the capstone is quite prominent on the hillside and is visible as you approach,. The views across the beach and town to the castle are spectacular.

Carn Euny Fogou submitted by AngieLake on 2nd Jan 2005. This shot shows the huge but low (4.5ft - 1.4m) SE-facing doorway of the Carn Euny 'Beehive Hut' underground chamber, with its own short passage leading into the fogou passage which runs SW/NE, (but snaking here with a flatter, more W/E run), just outside the doorway. It is thought that the Beehive Hut (chamber) was the first structure on this site, so that originally the eastern wall of the fogou passage would not have obstructed the view. It is possible that the sun was meant to shine down t...

Log Text: Situated in the heart of Carn Euny village, this was my first visit to a Fougou and it did not disappoint! It was interesting to see how it interacts with the buildings in the village and find the signs of how its layout has evolved.
Visited during a July heatwave, so the intererior of the Fougou was dry!
