Cork Stone
Date Added: 10th Jul 2025
Site Type: Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Jan 2009. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Cork Stone submitted by Vicky on 13th Nov 2001. The Cork Stone, Stanton Moor, Derbyshire GR: SK245628
The Cork Stone is one of a number of impressive natural outcrops on Stanton Moor. Composed of weathered sandstone it resembles a huge mushroom or cork. As with the Andle Stone nearby it is covered in graffiti from the 19th and 20th centuries and has steps carved into the side to allow access to the top.

Log Text: Additions to a site are normally detrimental however the steps and iron rungs added to the Cork Stone are an exception. The base of the stone is sturdy enough to allow people (myself included) to climb onto the top. There is a round rock basin on the flat top of the Cork Stone.
Corrimony

Site Type: Clava Cairn
Country: Scotland (Highlands)

Corrimony submitted by Amouquesoy on 22nd Jun 2025. Taken from the entrance of the site (May 27th 2025 in the evening)

Log Text: Corrimony Clava Cairn has been excavated at least twice: first in 1830, then again in 1952. The central chamber was covered in 1830 but it is now open to the sky. Trove.scot Place 12256 states that 4 of the 11 outer stones are modern additions and 2 stones have been reset in modern times. With all this interference there is some doubt as to the authenticity of the clava cairn in its current form.
Cosdon Hill Cairn Circle
Date Added: 13th Jul 2025
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 31st Aug 2020. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 2
Cosdon Hill Cairn Circle submitted by TheCaptain on 10th Jun 2004. Cosdon Hill Cairn Circle, Dartmoor, Devon SX643916
On a flatter shelf of land on the eastern side of Cosdon Hill are the splendid remains of a cairn and treble stone row.
The remains of the cairn at the uphill end of the rows is approx 8 metres in diameter, and has been substantially messed about with. Despite this, there are the clear remains of a double cist in the centre of the cairn, the downhill one of which still has its capstone largely in place. Several stones also remain in place...

Log Text: It is quite a steep walk up Cosdon Hill to this outstanding triple stone row. The stones are not very tall but this impressive monument is well worth a visit. The cairn at the W end is ruined but there are remains of a double cist in the centre.
Cosdon Hill Multiple Stone Rows
Date Added: 13th Jul 2025
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 31st Aug 2020. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 2
Cosdon Hill Multiple Stone Rows submitted by TheCaptain on 10th Jun 2004. Cosdon Hill Multiple Stone Rows, Dartmoor, Devon SX643917
The three parallel rows run off down the hillside from the cairn in an easterly direction, for a distance of at least 140 metres. Each of the rows has a large slab placed across the rows at its end by the cairn. The rows are not straight, and curve slightly south and then to the north down the hill.
A smashing place to while away some time.

Creebridge Cairn
Date Added: 19th Jul 2025

Visited: Yes on 30th Jul 2011. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4
Creebridge Cairn submitted by PaulM on 30th Oct 2002. Creebridge cairn
This cairn is located on the outskirts of Minnigaff/Newton Stewart and is superbly preserved. It could be associated with a number of cairns in this area.
To find it drive along the B7079 from Minnigaff towards the A75 - the cairn is in a roadside clearing at NX41706560 and stands at least 4m tall. The noticeboard is informative.

Log Text: I had driven past Creebridge Cairn many times before I became aware of its existence: it is screened from the road by vegetation and street furniture. There is no signage marking this ancient monument. The grassy mound is relatively intact.

Log Text: When I visited Cullernie Ring Cairn the field was in grass. I parked carefully in the wide junction of the A96 with Lower Cullernie Farm. There is a gate opposite the junction. This enabled me to walk safely along the margin of the field back to Cullernie Ring Cairn. It is not well preserved but it is still worth a visit if the field is not in crop.
