High Bridestones (Yorks)
Date Added: 8th Jan 2018
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Yorkshire (North))
Visited: Yes on 19th Sep 2017. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 5
High Bridestones (Yorks) submitted by JimChampion on 7th Dec 2007. August 2007. The High Bridestones, on the moor. Just one of the megaliths is still standing, with small change firmly wedged into its many crevices. A megalithic shambles indeed. The heather in bloom says that it is summer, although the temperature (and wind) on this day was more like winter!

Despite the problems associated with determining which stones are natural and which ones were placed it is probable that this is a stone row leading away from one of the two stone circles in this area. The presence of considerable quantities of surface stone means that without excavation it is not possible to be certain that this is a stone row.

The considerable gap between the two groups of stones means that it is possible that this monument represents the remains of two separate settings. For this reason this site should properly be considered as a possible row.

Stanton Drew - Avenue submitted by TimPrevett on 18th Aug 2006. For evidence of the avenue, go past the NE circle, and look for the linear earthwork. The line is visible here on the LH corner of the picture; the group is on another part of the earthwork. Looking on the aerial pics, and on the ground, this can be traced from 3 o'clock to 12 o'clock outside the Great and NE circles. I did have an excellent picture of this from the ground, but have accidentally overwritten it!

Porlock Common SW submitted by thecaptain on 4th Nov 2006. Seen here looking west, towards the circle.
I found 5 tiny little stones in two parallel rows. There was one row of three stones, spaced about 1.5 metres apart. Adjacent to this is a second row consisting of one stone at the western end, and one more beyond the eastern end, which would seem to be from a fourth pair. The two rows are less than a metre apart. The largest stone is no more than 6 inches in height !

Porlock Allotment NE submitted by thecaptain on 2nd Nov 2006. What can be found is a large stone which looks like it might once have been standing. It’s a sort of triangular shape, 2.5 m long by 1.5 m wide.
I thought this was a lovely place above the conjugation of the two streams, all very atmospheric.

Date Visited Sunday 7th May 2000
Due to the explicit request not to go off the path, I did not get much evidence of the stone row. This was maddeningly frustrating, given its imminent proximity! However, having studied the map, I went back to where the car was parked, turned left further up the track, and then left up another track, where it intersects the stone row (fenced off with barbed wire). Two stones were just visible to my left through the dense ov...
