Cosdon Hill Multiple Stone Rows
Date Added: 13th Jul 2025
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 31st Aug 2020. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 2
Cosdon Hill Multiple Stone Rows submitted by TheCaptain on 10th Jun 2004. Cosdon Hill Multiple Stone Rows, Dartmoor, Devon SX643917
The three parallel rows run off down the hillside from the cairn in an easterly direction, for a distance of at least 140 metres. Each of the rows has a large slab placed across the rows at its end by the cairn. The rows are not straight, and curve slightly south and then to the north down the hill.
A smashing place to while away some time.

Log Text: It is quite a steep walk up Cosdon Hill to this outstanding triple stone row. The stones are not very tall but this impressive monument is well worth a visit. The cairn at the W end is ruined but there are remains of a double cist in the centre.

Cosdon Hill Cairn Circle submitted by TheCaptain on 10th Jun 2004. Cosdon Hill Cairn Circle, Dartmoor, Devon SX643916
On a flatter shelf of land on the eastern side of Cosdon Hill are the splendid remains of a cairn and treble stone row.
The remains of the cairn at the uphill end of the rows is approx 8 metres in diameter, and has been substantially messed about with. Despite this, there are the clear remains of a double cist in the centre of the cairn, the downhill one of which still has its capstone largely in place. Several stones also remain in place...

Corrimony

Corrimony submitted by Amouquesoy on 22nd Jun 2025. Taken from the entrance of the site (May 27th 2025 in the evening)

Log Text: Corrimony Clava Cairn has been excavated at least twice: first in 1830, then again in 1952. The central chamber was covered in 1830 but it is now open to the sky. Trove.scot Place 12256 states that 4 of the 11 outer stones are modern additions and 2 stones have been reset in modern times. With all this interference there is some doubt as to the authenticity of the clava cairn in its current form.
Cork Stone
Date Added: 10th Jul 2025
Site Type: Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Jan 2009. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Cork Stone submitted by Vicky on 13th Nov 2001. The Cork Stone, Stanton Moor, Derbyshire GR: SK245628
The Cork Stone is one of a number of impressive natural outcrops on Stanton Moor. Composed of weathered sandstone it resembles a huge mushroom or cork. As with the Andle Stone nearby it is covered in graffiti from the 19th and 20th centuries and has steps carved into the side to allow access to the top.

Log Text: Additions to a site are normally detrimental however the steps and iron rungs added to the Cork Stone are an exception. The base of the stone is sturdy enough to allow people (myself included) to climb onto the top. There is a round rock basin on the flat top of the Cork Stone.

Comet Stone (Orkney) submitted by steveco on 24th Feb 2002. Comet Stone HY296132 standing 137mtrs SE from the Ring of Brodgar.

Log Text: The Comet Stone is an intriguing site to visit because of its proximity to the Ring of Brodgar. It seems likely it had some relationship to the stone circle. The stone stumps on the mound add an extra layer of mystery.
Cardinham Moor row

Colquite Menhir
Date Added: 9th Jul 2025
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 11th Apr 2018
Colquite Menhir submitted by TheCaptain on 7th Dec 2010. The stone is nearly 6 feet tall in a little enclosure type area where the walls go around it, which would seem unusual for many reasons.

Log Text: I passed by Colquite Standing Stone on the way to East Moor Cairns and Nine Stones of Altarnun. It certainly appears to be an ancient stone repurposed as a gate stone at one point. The fact that the stone wall detours around it emphasises its significance.

Colmeallie submitted by PeteCrane5 on 31st Dec 2023. "A stunning location" ... "A classic, if rather mauled recumbent stone circle" .. looking back at 2023 Colmeallie in the GlenEsk is one of my favourites

Log Text: The three standing stones on the SE arc of the stone circle give a sense of scale and structure to the jumbled remains of this monument.

Log Text: I was based in Mosset for a French Holiday. After an ascent of the Col de Jau I continued along the D84 randomly. There was a sign for the Grand Menhir de Counozouls by the roadside. The massive standing stone was an unexpected surprise.

Log Text: There are two strikes against Coille A'chnoic Mhoir Standing Stone: its name is hard to spell and difficult to pronounce. On the plus side it has fantastic views and is accessible from the path to Frachdale Chambered Cairn.

Cnocan nan Gobhar submitted by SumDoood on 3rd Mar 2016. Assuming trees had been removed, the cairn would have been very visible to anyone entering the bay by boat

Log Text: If you are going to visit Dun Ringill it is easy to take a c. 400 yard detour N to Cnocan nan Gobhar Cairn. There is an small exposed cist high up on the SW arc of the grassy mound. When I visited there was significant fern cover on the W arc of the cairn but the cist was clear of vegetation. I have added a route to Cnocan nan Gobhar Cairn on the main page.

A path from here heads SE into moorland leading to an impressive triangular standing stone on a mound. The path continues through rough moorland to Cnoc Nan Dursainean Chambered Cairn. I have posted directions on the main page.

Log Text: This grassy round mound is unspectacular in comparison to the long cairns located c. 500 yards S. You will need GPS to navigate to ND 0138 6585 in rough moorland if you are determined to visit.
