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.
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: 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.

Coetan Arthur Dolmen submitted by Johnny on 25th Aug 2001. Coetan Arthur, St. David's Head, Dyfed
(SM725 281):
Impressively situated on the hillside close to St. David's Head, Coetan Arthur is the collapsed chamber of what is presumed to be a passage grave which also has a round barrow. The massive capstone measures approximately 5.9 meters by 2.6 meters and is supported on one side by an orthostat approximately 1.5 meters in height.

Log Text: Coetan Arthur Dolmen is in a superb coastal setting on St David's Head. The dolmen is perfectly proportioned. The capstone lies at a pleasing 20 degrees angle from horizontal.
This site is just picture perfect.

Country: Scotland (Isle of Skye)
Visited: Yes on 11th Aug 2011
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.

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.

Claughreid submitted by stu on 17th Jul 2004. NX517560.
Similar to the Glenquickan circle just over the hill, here though the centre stone has fallen.

Log Text: Claughreid Stone Circle is difficult to locate due to its remote location over difficult ground. I was unwilling to trudge through boggy moorland so I devised an easier route via a track to Claughreid Farm: Turn off the A75 for Cairn Holy at NX 5164 5305. Follow the sign for Cairn Holy for c. 100 yards then bear right onto an unsigned single track road. Stay on this winding lane for c. 0.4 miles to reach an unsigned track on the left at NX 5207 5313. Follow this dead-end track for a mile to reach a small car park at the end: the track becomes increasingly rough and dirty closer to the end.
The walking route to Claughreid Stone Circle starts at the end of the public road from Barholm Farm to Claughreid Farm. Park up and walk along the track to Claughreid Farm. Head W through Claughreid Farm then head downhill. Cross over a ford then follow the track through a dry stane dyke. Continue NW for c. 300 yards to go through a gate in the dry stane dyke. Head NNE from the gateway on vague tracks for c. 100 yards to reach Claughreid Stone Circle, partially obscured in moorland. My walking route along this track can be viewed on Claughreid Stone Circle.

Cladh Maolrithe submitted by Postman on 26th Aug 2016. Would you rather be somewhere else?
well yes actually, in a few hours I'll be at Callanish.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: When I visited Cladh Maolrithe Standing Stone I was on my way to the Callanish sites. This stone was an unplanned detour so I was not aware of the complexities of the site. Canmore suggests that this is the location of an old chapel and burial ground.
