Boskednan stone circle
Date Added: 13th Feb 2020
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 15th Sep 2019. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 3
Boskednan stone circle submitted by JimChampion on 22nd Aug 2005. The portal stones illuminated by the last rays of the setting sun. The tallest one (on the left) has a diagonal groove present on this and the opposite side. The holes that the restored stones were raised from have been covered with pegged down foliage, presumably to encourage regrowth on the bare earth.

Blanefield
Date Added: 6th Jan 2018
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: Scotland (Stirling)
Visited: Yes on 26th Aug 2017. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 5 Access 3
Blanefield submitted by Creative Commons on 16th Mar 2014. Duntreath Standing Stones. The line of stones shown here is located at the high point of a field, not far from the West Highland Way (the tops of these stones can be seen on the skyline from the adjacent section of that route). The hill that is prominent in the background is Dumgoyach.
Five stones can be seen in the photograph; another lies hidden by the tall grass between the leftmost two stones.

Log Text: Limited car parking is available at NS 53342 79669. From here walk north along the West Highland Way to NS 53280 80509 and take the path leading north.
A radio-carbon date of 2860 +/- 270 bc suggests that it was erected in the Middle Neolithic period. The Middle Neolithic date combined with the closeness of the stones and the presence of an associated mound suggests that this is more likely to represent the remnants of a chambered cairn facade than a stone row.

Black Tor SW
Date Added: 27th Jan 2019
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 7th Jul 2013. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 3
Black Tor SW submitted by SandyG on 26th Sep 2014. Double stone row leading from the cairn. The grey arrows show the position of stones in the northern row and the red arrow a stone in the southern row. This row is composed entirely of small unimpressive stones and is a powerful reminder that this type of monument is often far from visually spectacular.
