Saith Maen WSW submitted by cerrig on 24th Jan 2010. This is looking South. It's a quite overgrown and confused site now. I counted upwards of 20 stones in this "coral", there should be only 8.

Quartz stones are everywhere, scattered around loose on the ground. Thanks to the book Ancient Exmoor I was able to follow these quartz rocks on through the hedge at the back of the photo, across the road and into the field the other side, and for several hundred yards distance after the road.

Furzehill Common stone row submitted by TheCaptain on 19th May 2010. Here I found four little stumps of stone in a row, in a boggy hollow on top of the ridge. They are spaced 2.5, 5, 2.5 metres apart, suggesting a missing stone in between those I could find.

Inverewe
Date Added: 16th Feb 2020
Site Type: Class I Pictish Symbol Stone
Country: Scotland (Highlands)
Visited: Yes on 13th Jul 2018. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 3 Access 5
Inverewe submitted by andy_h on 14th Aug 2006. To be found in the ruined churchyard up the turning by the campsite, re-used as a grave slab. The stone is located at the back end of the ruined church and is a little hard to find, as it is very worn and looks much like other grave slabs around it. It depicts a crescent and a 'V'. Another Pictish stone can be seen in Gairloch Heritage Museum, which depicts a fish and the lower part of an eagle.

Tom Nan Carragh submitted by cosmic on 4th Aug 2004. Tom Nan Carragh at NJ011246 in Highland region is a dog leg of three stones. The end stones are not visible form each other due to the lie of the land although all three stones are about seven feet high and about 100m apart. The bearing between the East stone and the middle is about 40 degrees whilst between the middle and West it is nearer 80 degrees.

Commonbank submitted by Nick on 5th Nov 2002. Looking to the east over the row. Take the turning into Glencarse from the A90 between Perth and Dundee. Head NNW just after the hotel, and follow signs for Gouktoun. Take a right, then right again for Balthayock, and follow this road for about two miles. The stones lie within the farm lands of Commonbank Farm, lying to the west of the road.

Threestoneburn submitted by Creative Commons on 19th May 2013. Also known as Ilderton Stone Circle. The view here is easterly, with your back to the forest fence, looking back down the valley towards Threestoneburn House.
Some of my friends taken on the long walk here would have said, "OK, it's a stone circle but it's hardly Stonehenge or Calanais, is it?".
No it's not Stonehenge or Calanais; it's a north-east stone circle. We do it differently up here. We put rough stones in a rough circle. Job done. Not for us this hacking great lumps of stone...

Log Text: This is not an easy row to get to and some might wonder whether the effort is worth it. Bridleways shown on Ordnance Survey maps do not exist and visiting it on the hottest day of the year is not recommended. Sadly in common with many rows next to forestry you will need to watch out for ticks. The route described below worked for me, but alternatives may exist. Park at NT 96325 23259. Cross the bridge and follow the footpath to NT 96195 22029. From here the best way is to follow the quad bike track on the southern side of the wall. This will take you to the access gate into Threestoneburn Wood at NT 96970 20964. From here follow the forest track to the row and circle.

Log Text: Limited car parking is available at NY 83118 75082. From here follow the track south looking out for the small four-stone circle at NY 82942 74717. Follow the track past Great Lonbrough and onto the access land at NY 81612 73313. From here it is a short walk west to the stones.
There are a number of separate and connected reasons for doubting the prehistoric stone row interpretation of this site:-
In places there seems to be a rubble bank between the upright stones.
At one point near to the sheep fold there is a clear lynchet along the orientation of the feature
At the northern end, the feature descends a very steep slope. No other row is known to do this.
A line of lines at NY 81514 73328 suggests that the feature turns at a right angle and heads east from NY 81499 73317. Severe shifts of alignment such as this are not a characteristic of stone rows but are common in field boundaries
The spacing between the rows is inconsistent
The form of the feature is similar to prehistoric boundary walls
The southern part of the feature is orientated on a pronounced kink in a boundary bank.
On the basis of the available evidence it would therefore appear unlikely that this feature represents the remains of a prehistoric stone row and instead is more likely to be the partly robbed remains of a field boundary, probably of prehistoric date because historic boundaries in the vicinity appear to be of the ditch and bank type.
