The Birchwood Monolith submitted by TimPrevett on 24th Feb 2020. Slightly offset from the centre, looking south east. Birchwood Boulevard (to the rear) aligns clearly from the stone and path. Viewing the stone from the boulevard, the stone lines up exactly with the central road markings. Photo 23rd February 2020 with iPhone 6s.

Log Text: Ballakelly Chambered Cairn is in a field on the right hand side of the A25 from Douglas. There is a narrow gate to park in on a sharp corner at Ballakelly Farm. The stones are surrounded by a fence with a gate for access. The chamber and its immediately surrounding stones are impressive but the random circle of stones on the fence perimeter dilute the authenticity of the site.

Cashtal-yn-Ard submitted by TimPrevett on 24th Jun 2015. A low shot atCashtal yn Ard tomb, 31st July 2014, taking in the flowers and the mountains. Magnificent place. We were here over an hour and had it to ourselves. A very exposed location in hard rain and very lovely in warm sunshine, both of which we had in the time here.

Log Text: Despite the narrow single track road to Cashtal yn Ard and difficult parking this ancient monument is a must visit. I approached Cashtal yn Ard from the SE passing by a ruined cottage. It is one of the most impressive multi-chambered cairns I have ever visited. On my visit the site was well maintained. I was lucky to have half an hour alone with these intriguing stones in good weather.
