Stall Moor circle submitted by thecaptain on 14th Aug 2006. Kiss-in-the-Ring stone circle.
Seen here looking to the south, from the end of the longest known prehistoric stone row in the World.
The most magnificent Dartmoor stone row can be seen from here (in reality, if not this picture), running over the top of Stalldown Barrow hill in the distance of this picture.

Cosdon Hill Summit Cairns submitted by TheCaptain on 9th Jun 2004. Cosdon Hill Summit Cairns, Dartmoor, Devon SX636915 to SX637917
The remains of five cairns can clearly be found at the summit of Cosdon Hill, approximately following the ridge of the hill in a north-south manner.
The fifth cairn at the north of the hill is a very impressive beast. This cairn must be nearly complete except for a small depression within the centre. The outer edges of the cairn are nicely held in place by a ring of large stone slabs, and within the cairn structure itself can...

Log Text: I was there late evening, a rushed visit due to the next day's weather forecast being so unpleasant. I'm glad I went. Perhaps it's because dusk was upon me that the ambience was quite impressive, and the site's structure is unusual. I'm dead against grouse shoooting, but it would be sort-of helpful good if the heather in and around the circle were burnt again! V diff to photograph without a wide lens (and a long pole).

Barbrook 2 submitted by PaulM on 31st Aug 2001. Barbrook II Stone Circle, Big Moor, Derbyshire
GR: SK278758
Barbrook II stone circle is not marked on any of the maps but is located 600m to the north-north-west of Barbrook I. It is of a similar size to Barbrook I, consisting of an irregular set of nine (originally ten) stones set into a low dry-stone wall, 14.5m by 13.5m in diameter, 3.5m wide and 0.5m high, with one entrance to the north-east.
A small cairn is located in the interior. Only one of the standing stones, to the west-south...

Log Text: Any suggestions / thoughts on the track / path seen here leading south from the sharp turning in the farm road a very short distance south of the circle: http://goo.gl/maps/HKskO ? I didn't notice the track on my visit, but wonder now if it is the original approach route to the circle, rather than a modern but (almost) disused farmer's horse / quad bike route.

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.

Druids Temple (Cumbria) submitted by Alphasmam on 17th May 2014. Yet another view of Birkrigg Stone Circle showing its double rings of limestone.
The reference to it being a Druidic Temple seems to stem from folk lore and is mentioned in "Mannix and Co. History, Topography and Directory of Westmorland" 1851.
Clearly it is not a Druid circle.
That being said there are references in local folk lore of a well in the woods surrounding the Common where Druids met.Wells I believe were places of early ritual and there is a Well Wood adjoining the Common. Ofte...

Castle Howe (Little Langdale)

Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Cumbria)
Visited: Would like to visit
Castle Howe (Little Langdale) submitted by Alphasmam on 25th Jul 2014. Castle Howe is a small volcanic " lump"
guarding Wrynose Pass and is locally known as a Neolithic hill fort. This picture was taken from the approaches to Fell Foot Farm looking towards Blea Tarn and Great Langdale.
Wrynose has probably been a trackway since these times and would have been an important route to take connecting the west coast via the Duddon Valley and Great Langdale where the axe factories are located. It also would lead eastwards towards Little Langdale and south to Conis...
