Log Text: A very interesting burial camber. A long walk require from the National Trust car park (charges apply) , the sign post said 1 1/2 miles but l took a route near the Uffington Horse so it was nearly four miles there on very muddy paths. Great site though, reasonably well sign posted (although l did wonder when l was a mile down the track leading to it and qondered whether l had passed it!) Very clean area, atmospheric but isolated

We have the NorthEast Trilithon on the left with the morning-shadow of Stones 6/7/107 falling across it.

It was a lovely morning!

Log Text: Well sign poated, as is The Cove in the village. A couple of parking spaces available near the gate leading to the circle. I could only look from the wall at the edge of the field as it was extremely muddy- the circle is on farmland with permitted access and had been used for cattle so was very churned up. Could of been amazing going to the stones with the low winter sun

Log Text: Before turning into Goodmanham village from Market Weighton turn into Spring Lane. There is now a small layby with a sign pointing down to the well. Well cared for space with steps down- quite steep. Someone had cut foliage around the well so l scooped out what l could to help the water flow. Clootie tree further down (more steps) and a sign with information on
I also looked for the Lady well in Goodmanham village but no sign so maybe dry at this time of year

Log Text: Electric fencing surrounds this field in which the circle lays, which has been recently used for cattle. The stones are surrounded by a wooden fence and more electric fencing. Extremely muddy (sunk up to my ankles ) and very boggy so l dodged and went under electric fencing to get to this very overgrown/feels neglected site. Site most definately not easy to get to

The shot is of entrance passage and its massive portals. The original 'torba' flooring of the apses can also be seen. (Torba is a cement-like substance made from the local limestone by crushing, watering and pounding).
