Raigmore
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Clava Cairn
Country: Scotland (Highlands)
Visited: Yes on 7th Oct 2006
Raigmore submitted by TimPrevett on 7th Oct 2006. My tripod was still packed, and I had the narrowest window of opportunity to visit this as the daylight faded on a dark, wet evening. Though relocated, this cairn is still impressive in itself, but I suspect some stones have been moved out from their positions. Taller stones (about 4 foot high), decreasing in stature around to the opposite side. This gives some idea of the cairn's contemporary context, with the large industrial estate to its east.

Old Sarum submitted by TimPrevett on 8th Oct 2006. Walking from Salisbury centre along the river, then taking The Portway, just SW of Old Sarum is this stone set off the track. I assume it's modern, and once had a plaque on it, but does anyone know why it's here?

Great Cursus, Stonehenge
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cursus
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 10th Oct 2006
Great Cursus, Stonehenge submitted by TimPrevett on 10th Oct 2006. One of the National Trust interpretive signs for the Cursus area. Such a small percentage of the visitors to Stonehenge actually get to see there. In a 4 hour walk from Stonehenge, taking in the Cursus, Old and New King Barrow, Cuckoo Stone, to Woodhenge and Durrington Walls, returning along some of the Avenue, I met 1 other person. If you want some solitude near Stonehenge (I was going to say peace, but helicopters were buzzing around very often), explore the wider landscape. It's a treat.

Balnuaran of Clava Kerb Cairn
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Scotland (Highlands)
Visited: Yes on 15th Oct 2006
Balnuaran of Clava Kerb Cairn submitted by TimPrevett on 15th Oct 2006. When visiting this site, if you bear in mind that the Victorians presented this site in accordance with their interpretation, you'll understand why the trees dominate. They believed the tombs here were Druid temples, and so they planted the area with Beech in the 1870s to reflect their notion of it as a Druidic Grove.
