King Arthur's Hall

King Arthur's Hall submitted by AngieLake on 15th Jul 2005.
Blessed by lovely weather, my visit to this strange site was enhanced by the cloud of fluffy white bog cotton dancing in the breeze. This view looks diagonally back towards the entrance gate, with Roughtor behind me in the distance, at 38degs from the largest pointed stone near to the camera. Note the way the two large pointed stones stick up on the 'west' side of the site. The tallest of these aligns at 109degs with Roughtor. It struck me how much the three of them (with a shorter one bet...

The Soldiers Trench
Date Added: 26th Jun 2013
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Yorkshire (West))
Visited: Yes on 1st Sep 1988. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 5
The Soldiers Trench submitted by andy_h on 4th May 2004. Also known as Brackenhall Green. Situated above Shipley Glen and overlooked by rock art on Baildon Moor to the north and east, this sad little circle lies near the road which destroyed a section of its northern end. It's hard to distinguish amongst the rock scatter and fallen stones, but a couple of (largely reconstructed) double arc settings give it away.

Normangill Henge
Date Added: 30th May 2011
Site Type: Henge
Country: Scotland (South Lanarkshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 1989. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 5
Normangill Henge submitted by h_fenton on 30th Nov 2010. A Kite Aerial Photograph of Normangill Henge viewed from the north. The south (uphill) side of the henge is the most clearly visible here because the ground is generally poorly drained while the banks are well drained resulting in a difference in vegetation.
There are drainage ditches alongside the road which stop the water making a vegetation difference on the north (downhill) side of the road. The internal ditches of the henge seem to be more prominent on the northern side.
On t...

Goodaver submitted by mattimpey on 9th Mar 2009. Several of the stones appear to have an undercut, whether this is due to weathering, the stones being re-errected upside down, or a feature of the circle I do not know.

The triangular stone on the southern side, with a couple of its fellow stumps in the northern arc seen on the skyline. Pity about the china clay works.

Kilnsey submitted by rich32 on 22nd Jul 2004. Kilnsey Stone Circle, Kilnsey, North Yorks (SD951680)
1st of 2 candidates for Kilnsey stone circle, on co-ords given by Burl. This site is about 45 mins walk from the nearest path, all up hill with a few fences to clear. There appears to be 6 stones in the circle, one in the foreground is just about visible. Behind 4 of the stones were other stones, I couldn’t decide whether they were part of the original stones and had broken or had been placed.
A further site about 40 meters away look...

Stanton Moor 4 submitted by PaulM on 31st Aug 2001. General view of Stanton Moor IV (Derbyshire)Overlooking the gritstone moorlands to the east and south, Stanton Moor IV, although referred to as an embanked stone circle, is more reminiscent of a ringcairn. It is now completely covered in heather, but the egg-shaped ring of the embankment can be seen raised up above the ground and is approximately 12.5m by 13.5m internally in diameter. There appears to be one entrance to the south-west.A number of small stones survive on the site, including one...

Stanton Moor 3 submitted by PaulM on 31st Aug 2001. Close up of one of the stones at Stanton Moor III (Derbyshire)Located on slightly higher ground, Stanton Moor III stone circle (or ringcairn) is very similar to IV, but is much larger and more clearly visible. Only partially overgrown by heather, the egg-shaped bank of stones is approximately 19.5m in diameter. There is, what looks like, a small cairn just off centre, but the interior of the site has been greatly disturbed by rabbits.The circle has two entrances, exactly opposite, to the north...

Log Text: Island in the Gulf of Morbihan only accessible by boat, and site not open to the public (bird sanctuary). Boat tours of the gulf do pass by so you can see it from offshore. Actually managed to get on the Island via hiring a boat but nearly died on the return journey as the tidal currents are very strong. Large stones with half the circle submerged or destroyed by the currents.
