Log Text: I found the Gorse Stone by accident when visiting the Cork Stone. It is less impressive than the Cork Stone however it is a bonus to find it adjacent to a path.

Aspers Field submitted by baz on 26th Apr 2003. This stone (at NY558152) lies in the next field to the more well known Goggleby Stone (NY559151), from which I took this picture (with zoom). Both of these stones form a part of the Shap Stone Avenue.

Log Text: I have mixed feelings about the Shap stones. I am grateful for the stones that have been preserved but I regret that Shap Avenue has been effectively dismantled. I would love to have seen the avenue as it was meant to have been seen.
The Galloway Stone

Log Text: It nice to find a site that you don't have to walk 3 miles over moorland to visit.
The Galloway Stone is just such a site. Simply leave the M6 at Shap, turn L for Orton, then take the R turn to Salterwath just before the M6 underpass.
The Galloway Stone lies c. 50 yards to the L after 150 yards along this lane.
It looks like a large chunk of Shap Pink Granite so it can't be an erratic from Galloway.
The explanation for it's name may be that it was a marker on the Old Scotch Drove Road for turning onto the Galwaithegate or Galloway Road.
As an additional point of interest there is an Ordnance Survey Bench Mark Bolt on The Galloway Stone denoting a height of 98.8m.
Gamelands

Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cumbria)
Visited: Yes on 1st Mar 2014. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
Gamelands submitted by drolaf on 15th Aug 2020. View of Gamelands from just up the hill. From here you can also still see the cairns at Raisbeck.

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.
The Giant's Foot (Cumbria)
Date Added: 20th Jul 2022
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Cumbria)

The Giant's Foot (Cumbria) submitted by baz on 21st Mar 2004. The Giant's Foot at NY563148. This stone is a remnant of the Shap Stone Avenue and lies in a field behind the houses on the A6 in Shap.

Log Text: A path leading W starts off Shap Main Street between the tennis court and Croft Avenue. After c. 50 yards the path continues SW across a field for c. 120 yards to a junction of dry stane dykes. The path turns SE along a dry stane dyke for c. 50 yards to reach the substantial recumbent Giant's Foot stone.
Castlehowe Scar Stone Circle
Date Added: 5th Mar 2023
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cumbria)
Visited: Yes on 19th Feb 2023. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 5
Castlehowe Scar Stone Circle submitted by baz on 3rd May 2003. Castlehowe Scar Stone Circle (NY587155).
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.

Swinside submitted by AngieLake on 19th Apr 2020. This large block is stone 30 at the South of Swinside circle. It was one of the focal points in a dowse I did there on 19th June 2002, the evening I met Jack Morris Eyton. It was the link with moves 17 and 18 in this plan.

Log Text: It takes time and planning to visit Sunkenkirk Stone Circle. However this stone circle, virtually complete in a beautiful location, more than compensates the effort required.
Castlerigg

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.

SW 4281 2394
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: Boscawen-Ros East is easily visited from the lay-by at Boskenna Cross. I followed the right of way path and found the large menhir in the middle of some cabbages. I skirted round the field to find the other menhir incorporated into the hedge at SW42782393. I was convinced that the hedge was built round this standing stone. The second stone is around 100 yards W of the visible stone. There is an interesting capstone shaped stone at SW42872395 on the eastern edge of the field, around 150 yards E of the visible menhir.
Boslow Cross

Boslow Cross submitted by JimChampion on 24th Oct 2007. August 2007. The southern side of the Boslow Cross, alongside a grassy path.

Log Text: Boslow Cross has the appearance of a dressed stone rather than a standing stone. I would err on the side of it being a parish boundary stone rather than a prehistoric stone.

Log Text: I can never resist a standing stone on the horizon as I am driving. I will either investigate there and then or make a mental note to search for the stone later. In this case I was able to park up c. 500 yards NW of the stone at SW 3961 3310, adjacent to a track which led to Boswens Menhir. It is not a spectacular standing stone, however a 15 minute walk while driving is good exercise.
