Albury Park Mound
Date Added: 8th Mar 2021
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Surrey)
Visited: Would like to visit
Albury Park Mound submitted by Andy B on 17th Apr 2005. This is the most overgrown site we have ever investigated. After much searching we think we've located the lost barrow. We think the barrow is under the thicket you see in the background - with a bit of imagination you can see the shape of a barrow in the profile of the bushes.

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Scotland (Perth and Kinross)
Visited: Would like to visit
Devil's Stone (Perth & Kinross) submitted by Nick on 5th Nov 2002. This large stone stands within the grounds of the Swallow Hotel (formerly the Graystane Hotel) just off the main Dundee-Perth dual carriageway, the A85. A small road to Denhead of Gray leads off the roundabout, and there is ample car parking at the hotel. Ask for permission to view the stone, which is readily granted. It lies behind the Conference Centre to the right of the main hotel. Adjacent to a section of railing, there are no cup marks or similar, though there is evidence of carved ini...

Samson, North Hill submitted by howe on 19th Jul 2010. Probable entrance grave on North Hill. Due to the fact that they are overgrown and derelict, most of the sites are difficult to distinguish from the many rocky outcrops

Log Text: It is difficult to visit as the island is a protected area for birds. We were given permission as a group. The sites are all fairly easy to find and in good condition for their age and position.

The conjoined Panels A/G/H are contiguous; during documentation of the site in 2003, Dan
Reeves called these panels the 'Gordian Knot‘ due to the sheer complexity of paintings
located there. Appears as Figure 2 from "Methodological considerations of integrating portable digital technologies in the analysis and management of complex superimposed Californian pictographs: From spectroscopy and spectral imag...

Log Text: Although it is not a long walk it is a little tricky to find. Climb up the steep stone stile from the lane and then head straight on - over a wooden stile, across a small field, a sign directs you to the next field, then head down the side of the field about 3/4 of the way to the bottomkeep an eye right for the entrance which is just a gap in the foliage - but then the beautiful well with its sweet water is before you! Very evocative and peaceful spot on the 'Mary' line..
St Warna's Well
Date Added: 20th Jul 2019
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Isles of Scilly)
Visited: Yes on 1st Sep 2019. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 3
St Warna's Well submitted by Thorgrim on 7th Jul 2003. A Celtic well later Christianised, this is the only holy well in Scilly. Located on the rocky shore above St Warna's Cove on St Agnes at SV 88040778, it has three steps leading down to the stone walled chamber. St Warna landed here in a coracle from Ireland and was the patron saint of shipwrecks. Islanders gave offerings at the well so that the sea would deliver goods from wrecked ships of which there are hundreds around Scilly.

Whitburn Lizards Cave
Date Added: 2nd Jul 2013
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: England (Tyne and Wear)
Visited: Saw from a distance on 1st Jul 2010
Log Text: there is a pub nearby 'The Marsden Grotto' which is formed from a series of caves, set into the cliff. A lift takes you down to it - or there are many steps for the fit. Also nearby is Lizard Lane and Lizard Lane campsite. Perhaps in time past fossilized remains of a reptile/sea creature was found in the cliffs/caves/quarry?

Log Text: interesting that there seems to be no records of this well or why it is dedicated to St. Michael. Any other similar dedications locally? (churches, wells, leylines)
