Roughting Linn Rock Art

Roughting Linn Rock Art submitted by TimPrevett on 25th Apr 2015. BBC Countryfile will have a feature with Roughting Linn on 3rd May 2015 - at least that's what they told us when we stumbled upon them filming there during the Easter Holidays. An emphasis on the sound at Rock Art sites in their feature explains the nice parabolic microphone!

Log Text: A fine site to visit. I remain perplexed by the "hillfort" and suspect that the walls and ditches might have formed a processional way. I found that water flows N, S, E & W from the adapted cup and similar marks at the highest point of the rock mass.
Roughting Linn Hillfort

Roughting Linn Hillfort submitted by TimPrevett on 18th May 2010. These ramparts defining an Iron Age promontory fort are very easy to find - just off the track leading up to Goatscrag Hill, and near the more visited Neolithic Rock Art - from where they are clearly visible. 10/04/10

Log Text: What makes us think that this is a hillfort?
I visited in the 3rd week of June when the vegetation was coming on strong, but I walked up, down and along four ditches and walls all parallel-ish and on the west side only. What's "hillfort" about such a structure? Are there walls / ditches on the N, S or E sides?
The ends of the walls slope down in such a way as to be rather less than defendable, I suggest, and I got the impression that the purpose of these earthworks might have been to guide, but also to slow down and build suspense for, a procession of visitors approaching from the west who could have walked an S-shaped route along the ditches towards the sun rising over the art.
Your thoughts?

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...

Belinac Menhir
Date Added: 26th Apr 2015
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Midi:Lot (46))
Visited: Yes on 26th Apr 2015. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 5
Belinac Menhir submitted by MichelDRN on 20th Oct 2005. I suggest to rename Livernon Menhir as Belinac Menhir, its local name.
From Livernon (Lot, 46), heading SE towards the road joining Cahors and Figeac towns, a sign indicates Belinac Menhir on the right side. 600 meters and this outstanding monolith appears.
It is 3.50 meters high, 0.40 m wide, and large from 1.50m (base), to 1.90 m (middle) and 1.00m (top).

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.

Mull Of Galloway Earthworks submitted by andyturner on 9th Apr 2004. NX145306
Mull Of Galloway, Dumfries and Galloway.
The southern of two sets of defensive earthworks across Scotland's most southerly point, the Mull Of Galloway.

Log Text: Only about 300-400m long, but about 600-900mm high in places. Parts appear to be totally built of soil, but in other rounded boulders are clearly visible. Clearly marked on 1:50000 OS map. Though much lower, it is reminiscent of the better parts of Offa's Dyke.

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.
