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.
Colmeallie
Date Added: 8th Jul 2025
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Scotland (Angus)
Visited: Yes on 19th Nov 2019. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 4
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.
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.
Comet Stone (Orkney)
Date Added: 9th Jul 2025
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Scotland (Orkney)
Visited: Yes on 7th Aug 2012
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.

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.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
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.
Corrimony
Date Added: 11th Jul 2025
Site Type: Clava Cairn
Country: Scotland (Highlands)
Visited: Yes on 3rd May 2006. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
Corrimony submitted by Amouquesoy on 22nd Jun 2025. Taken from the entrance of the site (May 27th 2025 in the evening)
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
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.

Log Text: An old farm track winds up from the coastal road, A747 to Port William, at Chapel Finian. There is a large grassy car park at NX 2794 4876, on the right of the A747. Walk NE along the road for c. 175 yards to reach a wooden gate on your right, c. 40 yards SE of Chapel Finian, at NX 2786 4887. A vague farm track starts here. The track is overgrown at first but clears into a wide grassy track as it nears Corwall Farm. Two cairns can be accessed from this track. After c. 1 mile there is a gateway into open moor at NX 2855 4915. Corwall S Cairn is c. 270 yards ESE of this location. Retrace your steps WNW to return to the track. Continue N through semi-derelict Corwall Farm to reach a gateway at NX 2897 4946, just before a ruined cottage on your right. Corwall E Cairn is c. 275 yards ENE from here in a grassy field. There is a marker cairn on the cairn to guide you to it. My route can be viewed on Corwall Cairns.

Cosdon Hill Cairn Circle
Date Added: 13th Jul 2025
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 31st Aug 2020. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 2
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...

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 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.

Cow and Calf Rocks

Site Type: Rock Outcrop
Country: England (Yorkshire (West))
Visited: Yes on 21st Jan 2009. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
Cow and Calf Rocks submitted by andy_h on 10th Nov 2003. The most prominent landmark for miles around. There are no visible megalithic remains at this huge rock outcrop, but local folklore refers to this being a place worthy of strong consideration.
I've always found it a little strange that as the most prominent landmark for miles around, the Cow n' Calf didn't bear any cup n' ring marks as they can be found both to the left and the right of the outcrop. It is possible that any that may have been on the rock could have been lost under the onslaugh...

Log Text: They may not have a strong megalithic connection but the Cow and Calf Rocks have a massive presence, and are located close to Ilkley Moor Car Park.

Log Text: The E tumulus, the best preserved of the pair, is visible WSW of Craddock Moor Stone Circle. The W mound has been treated badly by the ravages of time (and Man) resulting in a central mound c. 2 feet high surrounded by a stony bank.

Craddock Moor circle submitted by mattimpey on 9th Dec 2008. Three of the most prominant prostrate stones look East. The large bush is in the middle of the stone circle.

Log Text: Craddock Moor Stone Circle is not Stonehenge. This shy and retiring stone circle can only be seen at close quarters due to all of its stones being recumbent. It is nonetheless a significant monument in an area rich in ancient archaeology.

Craddock Moor stone row submitted by thecaptain on 13th Nov 2009. The stones are spaced nice and evenly at just over one metre from each other, and the row is nice and straight.

Log Text: I decided to visit Craddock Moor stone row from Minions due to perfect weather conditions. I used GPS Navigation to locate the NE end of the stone row at SX24087224. The stone row is easily followed by walking SW.

Log Text: The path to the Cradle Stone starts at the car park at NN 8639 2260 on the SW edge of the woods leading to the Knock of Crieff. Take a path leading NE for c. 140 yards to reach a crossroads. Take the right path for c. 100 yards then turn right downhill for c. 50 yards. The cradle stone should be visible on the right in the trees.
