Log Text: I sailed past Er Lannic on the way to Isle de Gavrinis so I suppose that counts. However I was on the starboard of the boat (right-side) so I wasn't able to get a good picture.

Log Text: Er-Grah Tumulus is one of Locmariaquer's big three sites. It is only accessible via the Site des Megalithes Visitor Centre for 6 euros. To be fair, there are three impressive monuments, unrestricted visiting time and free parking so what's not to like?
Er-Grah Tumulus has gravitas but it's long thin footprint make it difficult to capture a definitive image. The undoubted focus is the central tomb with its massive capstone, the cherry on the cake. I decided to walk slowly round Er-Grah Tumulus absorbing its antiquity as I strolled.

Log Text: Fell of Barhullion Hillfort occupies the summit of the Fell of Barhullion. The ruined fort has an original entrance on the S flank and a prominent modern cairn and OS trig point on the N flank. Canmore ID 62757 suggests there was a construction of randomly positioned vertically embedded stones on the N and E flanks known as a Cheveux de Frise. Several vertical stones survive on the N flank.

Log Text: Fell of Loch Ronald Cairn is not easy to find but the route to it is a wide track until the last 200 yards on rough terrain. The cairn has been badly mauled by forest ploughing however an excavated cist with six large stones has survived. GPS navigation is essential to locate the hidden cist.

Date Added: 4th Nov 2022
Site Type: Causewayed Enclosure

Finnarts Hill Enclosure submitted by markj99 on 27th Oct 2022. Finnarts Hill Enclosure viewed from S.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: Finnarts Hill Enclosure is located in heather moorland on the summit of Finnarts Hill. Reeds have largely obscured the ditch surrounding the enclosure and the irregular surface of the cairn is covered in grass tussocks. As with nearby Finnarts Hill Cairn, the W view of Loch Ryan is its most impressive aspect.
Four Parishes Rock
Date Added: 31st Mar 2023
Site Type: Sculptured Stone
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 15th Oct 2012. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Four Parishes Rock submitted by Bladup on 4th Dec 2017. Four Parishes Rock, I believe the right hand side of this stone is a slightly different colour because it was once in the ground (for a long time), therefore making this a former Standing Stone. The weathering at the other end (left) is also going in the right direction if made when stood up. Ding Dong mine is visible on the right.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: The Four Parishes Rock is obviously a recumbent standing with two crosses and indecipherable script inscribed on the stone. It is located at a crossroads in an area rich in megalithic remains. Worth a look in passing.

Country: Scotland (West Lothian)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Apr 2023. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Galabraes submitted by postman on 11th Nov 2012. Site in West Lothian Scotland
Galabraes standing stone, it's not far from Cairnpapple and very close to the road, how com no-ones posted on here before
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: Galabraes E Standing Stone is on the left side of the narrow road approaching Cairnpapple Hill. I resolved to visit it on the way back. To paraphrase Charles Dickens, Galabraes is "A Tale of Two Stones": the E Standing Stone is a tall erect slab and the W broken stump on the edge of gorse bushes is a sad remnant of a standing stone. In fact, the gorse bushes are encroaching on W Galabraes stone so don't leave it too long. The condition rating of Galabraes E is 4 and Galabraes W is 2, hence the average rating of 3.
Galachlaw Cairn

Log Text: There is room to park at the end of Galachlawside cul-de sac. A vague path leads SW into the woods on the edge of the Fairmilehead housing estate. A short clamber up a grassy slope leads to the badly preserved remains of Galachlaw cairn, which lies on a busy woodland path running E-W.

Galla Hill submitted by markj99 on 17th Oct 2022. Galla Hill Mound viewed from S.

Log Text: It is probably easier to park at the junction to Culhorn House rather than take your car down a rough single-track farm road. Galla Hill Mound is not spectacular in its current state, but it is a worthwhile trip nonetheless.

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.
