Log Text: It's a whopper. Higher, I guess, than the front end of West Kennet Long Barrow. At a glance from the road it might be mistaken for a modern pile of earth from road building, or similar construction. The aerial view in Bing's mapping shows a crop mark of sorts with squared off corners at NNE, ESE, SSW and WNW, BUT there is horse racing training going on nearby, although one wouldn't expect squared corners on such a circle?

Stoney Littleton submitted by TheCaptain on 18th Mar 2005. Stoney Littleton barrow viewed from the west.
Its a cracking little barrow, with the most wonderful passage and chambers inside, and the powers that be have even left a decent sized area around it free of any farming activity. A lovely sunny day, but some of the walk to the barrow was horrendously muddy.
The fields around the barrow had recently been ploughed, a crop of beet of some sort having been the last grown. While walking back after my visit, I found a bit of the lovely golden colou...

Roughting Linn Hillfort submitted by TimPrevett on 18th May 2010. These ramparts defining an Iron Age promontory fort are very easy to find - just off the track leading up to Goatscrag Hill, and near the more visited Neolithic Rock Art - from where they are clearly visible. 10/04/10

Log Text: What makes us think that this is a hillfort?
I visited in the 3rd week of June when the vegetation was coming on strong, but I walked up, down and along four ditches and walls all parallel-ish and on the west side only. What's "hillfort" about such a structure? Are there walls / ditches on the N, S or E sides?
The ends of the walls slope down in such a way as to be rather less than defendable, I suggest, and I got the impression that the purpose of these earthworks might have been to guide, but also to slow down and build suspense for, a procession of visitors approaching from the west who could have walked an S-shaped route along the ditches towards the sun rising over the art.
Your thoughts?

Roughting Linn Rock Art submitted by TimPrevett on 25th Apr 2015. BBC Countryfile will have a feature with Roughting Linn on 3rd May 2015 - at least that's what they told us when we stumbled upon them filming there during the Easter Holidays. An emphasis on the sound at Rock Art sites in their feature explains the nice parabolic microphone!

Log Text: A fine site to visit. I remain perplexed by the "hillfort" and suspect that the walls and ditches might have formed a processional way. I found that water flows N, S, E & W from the adapted cup and similar marks at the highest point of the rock mass.

Ridley Common submitted by TheWhiteRider on 2nd Jul 2006. Ridley Common Stone Circle. Only visible from the other side of a boundary fence. A number of keep out/private property signs made it abundantly clear that taking the easier route up a road to look at the circle was not allowed. Instead I had to scramble through difficult boggy ground along the field boundary until I spotted the circle.
