Langstane (Orkney) submitted by SandyG on 17th Sep 2015. Given its proximity to the road and cottage what are the chances that this stone is prehistoric and if so that it is its original location particularly as it has clearly at some time been broken in half and put back together (3rd June 2015).

Trowlesworthy West enclosure submitted by TheCaptain on 22nd May 2013. A little way from the downhill end of the western stone row is a circular enclosure, about 10m in diameter.
I am not sure whether this is some kind of settlement enclosure (too big for hut circle, too small for animal enclosure) or perhaps a ring cairn.
