Boskednan A submitted by AngieLake on 15th Oct 2004. This view of the 'destroyed barrow'/cairn near Carn Galva, shows its alignment with Ding Dong mine on the horizon. Boskednan circle is on slightly lower ground not far from here, and on an alignment between the 'barrow'/cairn and the
mine building. The flat sides of the pointed stones face north/south. (This pic was taken at 4pm in March 2004).
The stones sit on a higher ridge at 227m.

Log Text: Boskednan A Kerbed Cairn is easily visited on the way to Nine Maidens of Boskednan. There are intermittent kerb stones round the cairn up to 4 feet tall. As a starter before the Nine Stones of Boskednan it is very satisfying.

Log Text: It would be easy to drive past this capstone located beside Little Quoit farm c. 0.80 miles E of St Columb Major on the road to Roche. There is no sign for the stone on the roadside and parking is difficult.

King Arthur Stone submitted by Maeg on 27th Aug 2012. A view of the 6th century inscribed stone at Slaughterbridge, as seen from the adjacent footpath. The script is both latin and ogham and reads "Latini [h]ic iacit fili Macari" = Latinus son of Macarus lies here. Latinus is thought to have been a local celtic chief (according to Wikipedia at least).

Log Text: It is ironic that so many antiquarians have driven past this stony cairn crossing the Ballachulish Bridge to and from Fort William, yet so few have stopped to visit it. The cairn is not particularly impressive but it has good southern views.

Achara Standing Stone submitted by caradoc68 on 19th Jan 2012. NM 9866 5455, Achara Standing Stone. Not far from the road but can be quite difficult to see. This stone stands alone in a field and is a joy to see, has it is just over 12 feet in hight you feel quite dwarfed standing next to this huge stone.

Aspers Field submitted by baz on 26th Apr 2003. This stone (at NY558152) lies in the next field to the more well known Goggleby Stone (NY559151), from which I took this picture (with zoom). Both of these stones form a part of the Shap Stone Avenue.

Log Text: I have mixed feelings about the Shap stones. I am grateful for the stones that have been preserved but I regret that Shap Avenue has been effectively dismantled. I would love to have seen the avenue as it was meant to have been seen.
Avening burial chambers
Date Added: 17th Apr 2021
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 11th Jan 2014. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 3 Access 3
Avening burial chambers submitted by theCaptain on 20th Apr 2010. The entrance stones of the SE chamber.
No remains of the supposed porthole entrance can be seen, its now buried below ground level after the hillslide.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: The burial chambers have been artfully placed in the rectory garden in Avening, however, in principle I do not agree with people removing parts of an ancient monument for their own gratification. The original site is devalued and the new site is questionable at best.

Gamelands submitted by drolaf on 15th Aug 2020. View of Gamelands from just up the hill. From here you can also still see the cairns at Raisbeck.

Log Text: This ruined stone circle has a presence greater than its physical footprint. It has no typical standing stones but the N half is well delineated as is the S Arc. The location reminded me of Drummore Stone Circle near Kirkudbright however the remains of Gamelands Stone Circle are more impressive.

Log Text: I summited Hawk's Tor without any expectations. I was surprised to find these mysterious stones wedged into a crevice between rocks. Subsequently I discovered that this arrangement was considered to be a stone row.

Log Text: Carburrow propped stone is a jumble of large stones c. 60 yards NW of the E Cairn on the summit of Carburrow Tor. An elongated cuboid stone points NW, propped up by a small boulder. It is a matter of speculation whether this is natural or modified by man.
