Stanwick Hillfort
Date Added: 16th Mar 2016
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Yorkshire (North))
Visited: Yes on 12th Mar 2016. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 5
Stanwick Hillfort submitted by rich32 on 2nd Oct 2006. Stanwick is one huge site, if you could walk round the ramparts you’d cover about 4miles & internally you’ve got 750 acres to get lost in.
The earliest evidence dates the fortifications from the mid to late Iron Age, with occupation waning towards the end of the 1st century AD. It’s likely to have been an important stronghold for the Brigantes & may have been the home of queen Cartimandua, who ruled at the time those chaps from Rome visited.
Theres bundles of evidence from other per...

Log Text: HUGE site. To reach the middle of the site I still had more than a mile to drive when I stopped to ask a young couple what a line of ancient-looking earthworks might be. I was very surprised to be told it was all part of the same huge site. I drove around, then I walked around, and I came to an excavated section of wall so wide, so high, and so well built that, oh, the shame of it, I assumed I'd made a mistake and it was Roman. But it isn't - it's proper Iron Age British!

Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2014. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 2 Access 3
Standing Stone of Bagbie submitted by vicky on 29th Oct 2002. This single standing stone sits in a field at NX498562 but to the south of, and part of, a complex containing a cairn, four poster stone circle and stone pair.
The Standing Stone of Bagbie is blade-like (as many of the standing stones in this area are) and has no formal access although it can be seen from the lane that runs from the A75(T) in a NE direction in to the hills towards Cambret.
This area is right on the edge of OS Explorer Map 311 (Wigtown, Whithorn & The Machars) and full navi...

Stall Moor circle submitted by thecaptain on 14th Aug 2006. Kiss-in-the-Ring stone circle.
Seen here looking to the south, from the end of the longest known prehistoric stone row in the World.
The most magnificent Dartmoor stone row can be seen from here (in reality, if not this picture), running over the top of Stalldown Barrow hill in the distance of this picture.

St. Ninian's Bay

Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Scotland (Argyll)
Visited: Would like to visit
St. Ninian's Bay submitted by SumDoood on 21st May 2016. The stones would be, I reckon, about 4/10 in from the right, and roughly in line with the peninsula. I haven't yet visited this site, but took these from the A844 thinking that the peninsula looks like a good contender for the south of Scotland's equivalent of the Ness of Brodgar! There you are, I've said it now.
The low island in the L half is Inchmarnock, known for its cist burials and the necklace which made it onto Neil Oliver's 2013 Ancient Britain tv series.

Log Text: This is a 4km return walk, if you park at the "P" on the OS map. To drive onward is do-able in a 2WD family car, but though the route is flattish, it is *very* bumpy. There is no tarmac.
St Elvis Farm
Date Added: 19th Sep 2020
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
St Elvis Farm submitted by Adam Stanford on 18th Nov 2004. Located on a N-W facing slope, the tomb is one of three coastal burial sites in south-west Wales which appear to have been purposely concealed from the sea. A ‘double cromlech’ with 2 capstones is supported by two uprights. There are traces of a mound between both chambers and on the western side of the western chamber. However, both structures are today badly damaged. During the latter years of the 19th century, a tenant farmer from nearby St Elvis Farm was asked to stop ‘blasting’ bits...
