Harold Stone (Bosherton)
Date Added: 16th Aug 2025
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Yes on 28th Aug 2014. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
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.

Access is easy to find if approaching from Stackpole warren, after entering the double gate enclosure from the woods, before leaving through the second gate in front of you. look right and you'll see a side gate that leads to the stone.

Log Text: The Devil's Quoit (Stackpole) is easy to visit from Stackpole Quay Car Park. Head W out of the car park. After c. 400 yards head straight through a crossroad. Continue W for c. 500 yards to reach a path heading S. Take the path S heading for a forest. After you exit the forest turn W into a field for c. 120 yards to reach Devil's Quoit (Stackpole Warren). My walking route is viewable on Devil's Quoit (Stackpole Warren).

Log Text: The remaining stone of Hauteville's Quoit half-buried next to a hedge requires more imagination than I have to reconstruct the monument. One for the completists.

Stanton Drew NE Circle submitted by Horatio on 23rd Apr 2022. The NE circle the smallest of the 3 circles at Stanton Drew, includes some of the heaviest blocks of stone. Within this circle geophysics have shown that four enormous timber once once stood., it is not yet understood if these where buildings, raised platforms or some other form of ceremonial structure.

Grey Man of the Merrick submitted by markj99 on 27th Oct 2020. Grey Man of the Merrick Close-Up
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: The Grey Man of the Merrick is an unusual rock site in a valley c. 1 mile SE of the summit of Merrick, the tallest hill in the Galloway Forest. There are multiple routes available but I have walked my route twice: the path is relatively obvious for most of the route and there are good landmarks confirming accurate navigation. The Grey Man of the Merrick is located on a rockface at the top of a valley. The illusion of the bearded man requires an eastern view across the rock face looking towards Benyellary. Directions to the Grey Man are available in the main page.

Log Text: To find Cnoc Chaornaidh North West Cairn you require GPS navigation because the cairn is not visible from the A837. I parked up at NC 29662 08278 at a private road end c. 170 yards W of Stratheskie. Cnoc Chaornaidh North West Cairn is c. 300 yards NE across pathless rough moorland from here.

Log Text: Ardvreck Chambered Cairn lies c. 250 yards NE of Ardvreck Castle. Therein lies the problem. Thousands of people walk past an anonymous grass mound transfixed by its more attractive companion. I myself was guilty of this on my first visit. It was only on my second visit to Ardvreck that I targeted the cairn using its grid reference.

(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: The Bone Caves are set at the base of Creag nan Uamh in a spectacular highland glen. All of the discoveries have been removed to museums so it requires some imagination to reconstruct the caves as they were discovered. The impressive nature of the site more than makes up for this.

Log Text: Altnacealgach Cairn is accessible from Altnacealgach Motel if you have walking boots or wellies as it situated on a rough moorland slope. The c. 0.5 mile return trip is more than compensated by a heather clad cairn with a 45 degree arc of exposed stones in the SE.
