Date Added: 20th May 2017
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen

Visited: Yes on 20th May 2017. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
Anta de Cas-Freires submitted by Alta-Falisa on 6th Apr 2015. Very ruined dolmen. I am inclined to say that it is a good idea to leave some dolmens as they have come down all those centuries towards the present time.

A fine site with apparent carvings not apparently recorded elsewhere.
Bleasdale
Date Added: 6th May 2017
Site Type: Timber Circle
Country: England (Lancashire)
Visited: Yes on 5th May 2017. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Bleasdale submitted by AngieLake on 14th Sep 2004. This is the (north?)western half of Bleasdale wooden circle. My brother is 6'1" tall, for comparison.
This is a rare timber circle, where the posts have been replaced by concrete markers.

Log Text: It's better at dawn or dusk, of course. I don't think I've been anywhere else where the circle is offset within an ellipse. The overall position where the circle is cupped inside a combe with two mountains backing it up is impressive, though not particularly unusual, but the fact that the land occupied by the circle is slightly but significantly higher than the wider surroundings, yet receives the sunlight last, is quite exceptional.
The circle is (exactly enough) equidistant to north and south from the headwaters of two rivers both known as the River Brock which combine at 53.895482, -2.662299.
The views to the west are very wide, and long. Watching the sun coming down onto the treetops before slicing on down into the circle was such a thrill. I'd like to be there on one of those misty mornings when you can only just see the sun so as to try and record its alignment. I guess that at midsummer it might rise out of, or become completely visible in one particular notch on the ridge, "Nick's Chair", which is exactly due east of the circle.
