V/V
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Rock Art
Country: United States (The Southwest)
Visited: Yes on 31st May 2010
V/V submitted by TimPrevett on 31st May 2010. The rocks are dense with petroglyphs, some of which feature in an archaeo-astronomical event. I saw a token of this event in the afternoon of my visit on 15th August 2009.
Two deliberately placed and shaped stones above the panels cast shadow daggers across different glyphs, pointing to different marks at key times of the year. A lot more information on this (and more generally) is at the website http://www.sinaguasunwatchers.com/vbarv.htm
Although I didn't witness a key event, to see ...

Fairy Stone submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Aug 2011. Long time coming in getting to this stone! Found out about it about 2005, and got visit earlier this week.
In Paul Devereux's book "Places of Power" pages 121-2 he records this diminished standing stone known as The Fairy Stone (AKA The Devil's Stone). It has a long tradition of fairy lights associated with it, and an account of someone walking past the stone one night getting the fairy lights stuck to his trousers. On getting home he found the trousers to be scorched - according to the tale.....

Log Text: The Fairy Stone Grid Ref: SJ372798 In Paul Devereux's book "Places of Power" pages 121-2 he records this diminished standing stone known as The Fairy Stone (AKA The Devil's Stone). It has a long tradition of fairy lights associated with it, and an account of someone walking past the stone one night getting the fairy lights stuck to his trousers. On getting home he found the trousers to be scorched - according to the tale... Or did he invent the story to explain why he maybe got his best trousers damaged? The stone is said to be situated close to a geological fault.
St Augustine's Well (Cerne Abbas)
Date Added: 9th Jan 2017
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 28th Dec 2016. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
St Augustine's Well (Cerne Abbas) submitted by ermine on 9th Jan 2005. St Augustine's well in Cerne Abbas is a tranquil place. Walk up Abbey Street and turn into the graveyard - the well is a couple of hundred yards alond the track. The flow is good and was the village's source of drinking water in the last century.
The Abbey nearby is also worth a visit, as well as the nearby Giant hillfigure.

Tout Quarry Sculpture Park Stone Circle submitted by TimPrevett on 14th Aug 2017. 12/08/17
This circle (more of a 'cove' of stones, I suggest) at Portland's Tout Quarry Sculpture Park was officially opened on June 21st 2017. It's just on the south side of the arterial route at the top of north end of Portland, parking at The Heights Hotel just across the road, or if that's full, parking around the corner to the north of the hotel near The Olympic Rings monument. Not to be confused with "The Circle of Stones" further into the sculpture park.

Log Text: Visited on a bright winter day, the stone is slightly up from what has become a parking bay, well outside the last of the three properties in this cul-de-sac. The laurel seen in photos quite a few years back has been kept from swallowing seeing the stone. 10 digit grid reference from the OS app while leaning on the stone is SO 85742 02389, and I know some find it helpful, what3words is alongside.tame.forgot . The stone is well outside private property boundaries, but nevertheless one feels very conspicuous poking around!
Woodbury Hill (Dorset)
Date Added: 3rd Jan 2025
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 30th Dec 2024. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
Woodbury Hill (Dorset) submitted by JimChampion on 5th Jun 2005. June 2005. Looking northeast across the Bere valley at Woodbury Hill from Bowcroft Hill. Appropriately for its name the hillfort looks woody, although its interior is under pasture. The hill doesn't look too steep from this angle: it is much more formiddable when viewed from the north and west (from the A31 road).

Log Text: Steep approach from the Bere Regis side, down and up steps bisecting a hollow way. View to the ramparts on the south and north, and cracking views from the path to the east from Bere Wood, looking west.

Broomhill Barrows

Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 30th Dec 2024. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 2
Broomhill Barrows submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd Jan 2025. The tallest, easternmost barrow, just as the track drops downhill heading east towards Bloxworth.
Three surviving round barrows on a spur, following the ridge east from Woodbury Hillfort, near Bere Regis. Situated in dense woodland, the barrows were covered with trees which look to have been cleared during 2024.
The barrows are immediately adjacent the track, and the woods have a very heavy ambience. Quite a walk from Bere Regis or Bloxworth, but very enjoyable.

Log Text: A long walk from either Bere Regis or Bloxworth, surprising to find these having been cleared of trees in the middle of dense woodland.

The Dasses submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Jan 2025. Six possible hut circles in this area, see person to the right for scale. The OS map denotes hut circles but the Canmore record becomes increasingly unsure as to their prehistoric origin. Can be seen looking north from Arthur’s Seat.
