Steinacleit
Date Added: 9th Feb 2012
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Scotland (Isle of Lewis)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Sep 2011
Steinacleit submitted by pab on 22nd Sep 2011. Central cairn looking NW to the sea.
The stones encircling this cairn define a significant area on this exposed hilltop.
The Interpretation Panel at the car park area reports that the area has not been fully investigated or excavated, so its original usage is unclear but it offers the following suggestion:
"An Ancient Farm: Are the stones the remains of a burial cairn or a stone circle? Using the limited evidence, Stenacleit is probably best interpreted as a prehistoric settlem...

Stenness submitted by PAB on 15th Jan 2021. 5000 years and counting.... as others have commented, for something so tall and slender to have remained in situ for this long is wonderful.
To save people climbing up, this shows what the top looks like!

Stonehenge Aotearoa
Date Added: 7th Jun 2012
Site Type: Modern Stone Circle etc
Country: New Zealand
Visited: Yes on 25th Nov 2011. My rating: Ambience 4 Access 5
Stonehenge Aotearoa submitted by pab on 7th Jun 2012. November 2011
This is the 'Avenue' entrance to the main circle, with my 5ft marker (aka Mrs PAB) standing at the entrance for scale.
There is plenty of information about the purpose and layout - but basically the various monoliths are markers of the limits of events such as the solstice or equinox. It is definitely worth visiting the website to understand the location more fully.

Syracuse Archaeological Park

Site Type: Museum
Country: Italy (Sicily (Sicilia))
Visited: Yes on 19th Apr 2010
Syracuse Archaeological Park submitted by pab on 19th Apr 2010. Inside the cave! The surface of the cave showed the lines of workings, so it isn't a natural cave, but one formed by quarrying. The photo doesn't really show it, but the guide talked us through the progressive layers into the seam the slaves were quarrying.

Tafarn-y-Bwlch submitted by pab on 10th Apr 2009. View between Talfarn y Bwlch stone pair. This photo, taken Good Friday 2009, shows (I'm fairly sure) Garn Farw on the horizon, bearing 282, and 11.9 miles away.
It really can be that clear in Wales, but please don't tell anyone!

Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
The Stiperstones submitted by TimPrevett on 28th Jun 2004. A cairn just north east of Manstone Rock.
"The Stiperstones" is the name for a hill on the far west reaches of Shropshire, well into The Welsh Marches, overlooking the Welsh border. It is the second highest hill in Shropshire, affording superb views in all directions, and having several bronze age cairns along its ridge.
