Black Pots 02 submitted by Rich32 on 2nd Feb 2018. View of the carvings referred to as Black Pots 02 on ERA. The poor lighting doesn't do this rather lovely carving justice.

Black Loch of Myrton Settlement submitted by dodomad on 31st Jan 2018. Excavations at Black Loch of Myrton in Dumfries and Galloway in 2015, 2016 and 2017 have yielded stunning new information about life in the Iron Age. Work has focussed on very well preserved early Iron Age settlement which was located on the fringes of a boggy loch, long since drained. Photo Credit: AOC Archaeology.

Birkrigg Common Round Cairn 2

Site Type: Round Cairn
Country: England (Cumbria)

Druids Temple (Cumbria) submitted by Alphasmam on 17th May 2014. Yet another view of Birkrigg Stone Circle showing its double rings of limestone.
The reference to it being a Druidic Temple seems to stem from folk lore and is mentioned in "Mannix and Co. History, Topography and Directory of Westmorland" 1851.
Clearly it is not a Druid circle.
That being said there are references in local folk lore of a well in the woods surrounding the Common where Druids met.Wells I believe were places of early ritual and there is a Well Wood adjoining the Common. Ofte...

Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: Scotland (South Ayrshire)

Bencallen Hill submitted by PaulM on 29th Oct 2002. Shiel Bridge/Bencallen chambered tomb
Good navigation is needed to find this cairn as the landscape is pretty featureless (NX33779440). Luckily for us the conifers had been recently cleared. There is parking (just) but the lane is very quiet. I dived up the slope and headed in the vague general direction but struck lucky.
Another strange site as the cairn cover has been robbed for drystone walls which all seemed to have been built to hem in the chamber or perhaps as sheepfolds. All t...

Though incomplete the cairn commands a fine view and is clearly a favourite place for sheep to congregate.

Belinac Menhir
Date Added: 26th Apr 2015
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Midi:Lot (46))
Visited: Yes on 26th Apr 2015. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 5
Belinac Menhir submitted by MichelDRN on 20th Oct 2005. I suggest to rename Livernon Menhir as Belinac Menhir, its local name.
From Livernon (Lot, 46), heading SE towards the road joining Cahors and Figeac towns, a sign indicates Belinac Menhir on the right side. 600 meters and this outstanding monolith appears.
It is 3.50 meters high, 0.40 m wide, and large from 1.50m (base), to 1.90 m (middle) and 1.00m (top).

Beeston Castle submitted by vicky on 7th Jun 2002. The entrance to Beeston Castle in Cheshire where a 13th Century Castle was built on top of an Iron Age hillfort (GR: SJ538592 ). Excavations in 1978 revealed that the Medieval wall of this outer gateway was constructed on top of a prehistoric rampart with external ditch and counterscarp bank.
Prehistoric artefacts including bronze axes and implements, clay moulds and crucibles for casting bronze and a large amount of prehistoric pottery have been on the site of this 4 hectare hillfort.

Log Text: Middleton Moor's rock art is 1-2kms away, but this is a pleasant out and back walk from the highest point on the nearest road, with powerful views from a location itself visible from a wide radius. The cairn is simply a BIG pile of stones, but the location gives it considerable validity.

Battle Standing Stone submitted by Johnny on 3rd Jul 2002. Battle Standing Stone, Powys (SO 006 306):
On private farmland, the stone is marked on maps and is visible from the road near a disused railway bridge 0.8km south-west of Battle.
The Battle stone is a particularly impressive Bronze Age monument: 100m to the south of a tumulus, a stony cairn supports this attractive standing stone which is 3.96m in height.

Bartlow Hills
Date Added: 25th Mar 2016
Site Type: Barrow Cemetery
Country: England (Cambridgeshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Bartlow Hills submitted by Thorgrim on 17th Jul 2003. This is the largest barrow in Britain and very few people know of it. This Romano-British site at Bartlow is on the Essex/Cambridgeshire border at TL 586453. Originally the largest group in Europe when there were seven enormous barrows here. Then the now disused railway came through and flattened four of them! The largest survivor is 45 feet high and the highest in Britain by far. The wooden staicase gives access to the top without causing erosion. You can then look down on the other ...
