Cerrig Pryfaid submitted by stonedowser on 23rd Feb 2002. This is a good circle, though not easily seen until you are actually standing by it. There are a couple of outliers associated with the circle and what dowses as a cairn also. More pictures and dowsing diagram on web pages. Ian.

Log Text: I visited Cerrig Pryfaid Stone Circle en route to the cairns and standing stones at Bwlch y Ddeufaen. The stones are relatively small and there are significant gaps but it is located adjacent to the path so why not visit.

Log Text: I was somewhat underwhelmed by the Cerne Abbas Giant: drone pictures of the giant raised my expectations of the site. From ground level the chalk figure loses its impact.

Caulside Burn Stone Setting
Date Added: 13th Nov 2018
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: Scotland (Dumfries and Galloway)
Visited: Yes on 5th Nov 2018. My rating: Access 3
Log Text: While visiting the Cauldside Burn Cairn North I looked for the two stones first using GPS, then by grid searching the area S of the cairn. This was difficult due to tussocks of heather and uneven ground. I found no substantial stones in a 30 yards by 30 yards area.

Cauldside Burn Cairn South submitted by rogerkread on 1st May 2013. The thick mist began to clear just as I arrived at the cairn - invisible until 50 yards from it, which may be difficult to believe. Looking towards Cambret Hill from the top of the cairn, the largest of the visible flat stones near its base has an excellent large cup and rings. Climbing the wall/barbed wire fence between hill and cairn is the only problem!

Caulside Burn Cairn North submitted by markj99 on 13th Nov 2018. Cauldside Cairn North from N, in line with Cauldside Cairn South & Cairnharrow Summit.

Log Text: This ruined cairn can be found by parking at Cambret Hill just above the cattle grid on the road to the Cambret Hill mast. Head downhill towards the summit of Cairnharrow opposite. Cauldside Cairn South, a large well preserved cairn will be visible half way up Cairnharrow across the valley. Cross the fence at the bottom of Cambret Hill and line up the summit of Cairnharrow with Cauldside Cairn South.
You should see a green area, a reed bank, stand out from the brown moorland around 100 yards straight ahead. The ground is boggy up to the cairn. The ruined cist is surrounded by reeds and an earth bank.

Log Text: Cauldside Burn Stone Circle is located immediately S of Cauldside Burn S Cairn. Most of the stones are small and partially hidden by moor grass. The sole exception is a slab measuring c. 4 feet high and 3 feet broad on the SSW of the circle.

Log Text: Castlerigg Stone Circle has four positive points.
1) Location, Location Location: it has the best views of any stone circle I have visited. The views of Skiddaw & Blencathra are awesome.
2) The stone circle is almost intact and the stones are reasonably large.
3) The remains of The Sanctuary add a mysterious dimension to the site.
4) The site is well maintained, free from vegetation.
The only negative point is it's popularity: it is unusual to get some time alone with the stones.

Ten stones form this small stone circle which is now huddled up against a drystone wall, in a field with a locked gate. On the other side of the wall, there appears to be a stone row.

Log Text: Castlehowe Scar Stone Circle is easy to visit, located adjacent to a minor road to Orton near Shap. This small stone circle consists of an assortment of rounded stones. Despite its stature this site is well worth a visit.

Log Text: Hillforts are one of my least favourite type of sites: it takes time and effort to investigate all the humps and hollows. Castle O'er Hillfort is no exception. I arrived at a satisfactory understanding after an hour of wandering up and down.

Log Text: One of my pet hates is a footpath off a narrow lane with no parking available. A footpath starts at Castallack Farm on a narrow Cornish lane. I parked carefully opposite the footpath in front of 2 houses. Follow the footpath NW for c. 350 yards to Castallack Round: depending on the season the SE entrance may be blocked by vegetation.
