Harold Stone (Bosherton) submitted by Bladup on 13th Sep 2013. Harold Stone (Bosherton) - it looked to my eyes to have maybe once been a side slab of a ruined chamber [quoit], and the stones around it - field clearance or part of a chambered cairn?

Log Text: I agree with Bladup: the standing stone could be a remnant of a chamber. It is erected in a grassy mound studded with exposed stones possibly indicating a ruined cairn.

The Devil's Quoit submitted by Adam Stanford on 16th Nov 2006. Devils Quoit (PEM 25) also known as Broomhill Barrows near Freshwater West. I would suggest this is a collapsed burial chamber rather than earthfast (as stated by Nash 2006, Daniel 1950 and others). I say this because of what looks like a large collapsed orthostat that is now visible and that the capstone rests on.

Log Text: I was curious to investigate the Devil's Jump marked on the OS Map close to Carweather Medieval Village. The natural rock feature consists of two granite crags in a wooded valley. I couldn't find out much information on the net. The biggest surprise was a slab of rock resembling a bearded devil on the S crag.

Log Text: It is surprising that there are substantial remains of Delfour Ring Cairn given its proximity to Mid & Easter Delfour Farms: most cairns located in arable land have been robbed out for construction of buildings and walls over the ages. There is a standing stone on the SW perimeter of Delfour Ring Cairn, sole survivor of an outer stone circle. The ring cairn has fared better with discernible inner and outer rings enclosed by large kerb stones.

Log Text: Deepdale Standing Stone is located c. 70 yards NE of the A965 with a distant view of the Ring of Brodgar, Stones of Stenness and Maeshowe. The erect slab is not spectacular but worth a short walk for the sea view. A second stone is marked on OS Mapping but it has been removed.

Log Text: It is often difficult to park up in the vicinity of monuments close to busy roads. Luckily , in this instance there are 2 lay-by's at the junction of a minor road signed for Balloch with the A822 heading S out of Crieff at NN 8580 2012. Walk across the A822 to a gate into a field. Dargill Standing Stone is located c. 110 yards SE of the gate.
