Log Text: Now to walk around the circle. It's huge, much bigger than my memory was telling me and with a little double stoned entrance up near Long Meg. The stones are basically large rounded boulders, like giant pebbles from a riverbed, and its not really accurate to consider them as standing stones. Lots of young cows in and around the stones, some of which seem to be playing hide and seek.

Log Text: Before heading east over the Pennines, I have time to go and visit Long Meg. A new car park has been made which is well signposted, which leaves a 500 metre walk to the stone circle. I start my visit with Long Meg itself, as there are a few other people here who go the other way. What a lovely stone, standing proud overlooking the circle with its spirals and of course the face of Long Meg herself.
Long Low
Date Added: 30th Aug 2025
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Long Low submitted by TimPrevett on 30th Jul 2006. Looking along Long Low to the SSW. Two interesting things about Long Low: 1) It is the only long barrow in Staffordshire, and 2) It has rounded ends, which are either described as two round barrows, or as rounded terminals. This is very reminiscent of the Broadmayne Bank Barrow in Dorset. Drystone walling intersects it in several places, and I styal is incorporated into one of the western side walls.

Long Holcombe (S)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 13th Apr 2007
Long Holcombe (S) submitted by thecaptain on 13th Apr 2007. When I eventually found the stone, which is almost lost among the long grass, it is only about 18 inches high, and it leans to the south, uphill.
I came to the conclusion that this stone is perhaps the last remaining stone of what was originally a stone setting of some kind, and that there was probably further stones in amongst the moor grass at one time.

London Stone
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Marker Stone
Country: England (Greater London)
Visited: Yes on 24th Nov 2013
London Stone submitted by theCaptain on 24th Nov 2013. I struggled to find The London Stone at first, not helped by looking for it at No 110, instead of No 111, and asked several people of its whereabouts, but nobody knew... Then by looking where I was expecting to find it, and walking the street a couple of times, my Dad said "whats this, is this it?"
Have to say its not quite what I was expecting, and is very disappointing, and not only just about impossile to see from outside, covered off from inside now.
Still, its still there, and I...

It stands about 2 m tall, and is quite wide, but very thin. I'ts downhill companion seems much more "real"!

Log Text: There are three allée couvertes here on the hilltop on the ridge overlooking the river Dourla, and beside the busy GR37 footpath. They are signposted from all around, and are several hundred metres walk uphill and along the ridge from a little car park. They are all suffering badly from neglect and vandalism, which is a great shame as I was reading a book from 25 years ago which says that they have only recently been discovered and are in a wonderful condition and almost complete. I guess it doesn't help that the rock is a very splitty dark grey slate type rock, which now it is exposed takes little to break it. While I was up there, many people walked past, many kicking the stones as they went, with children (and adults) jumping up and down on them.
This seems to be a V shaped dolmen rather than a pure allée couverte with its chamber widening from less than a metre wide to greater than two metres wide for the main part. Approximately 12 metres long, it has three capstones in place, and faces approximately west at 210°.
It is suffering very badly, not only from graffitti, but also official damage in the form of footpath sign paintings and markings. There is a separate cell at the back, with an entry doorstone, at an angle, making a triangular entrance.
