| St Ann's Well (Aconbury) | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | England | Herefordshire | AJHL (Blog) | Visited | 3rd Oct 2026 | 4 | 4 | 4 | If you follow the cross field path from The Cotts towards Aconbury Hill, the spring is in the crescent shaped copse down the hill to your left, about 100m off the path. There was a sort of wooden hide there today. The well is right down in the depression behind and below this. Nice little well. |
| Mougau Bihan | Passage Grave | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | stonetracker (Blog) | Visited | 1st Sep 2026 | 4 | 5 | 4 | A very well preserved allee couverte from the mid to late neolithic period with most of its orthostats and capstones still intact, although there is little trace of the covering mound and no surviving peristalth that I could see. Location is at the end of an easy trail that runs 70 m NE from a large parking lot. Some of the orthostats still have discernible engravings.
To get there from the commune of Commana, proceed S on D11 for 0.6 km to D... Read More |
| Kergadiou Menhirs | Standing Stones | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | stonetracker (Blog) | Visited | 1st Sep 2026 | 4 | 5 | 4 | Two magnificent menhirs in a farm field, one upright and the other projecting at a very shallow angle and nearly recumbent. These are among the tallest/longest menhirs in France, let alone Brittany.
To get there from the commune of Brélès, drive west on D27 from the center for approximately 1.4 km. Turn R onto Route du Menhir and proceed N for about 1.3 km to its end and junction with the Hent ar Feunteun C1 road. There is limited parking on ... Read More |
| Kerloas Menhir | Standing Stone (Menhir) | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | stonetracker (Blog) | Visited | 1st Sep 2026 | 4 | 5 | 4 | Welcome to Kerloas, not just the tallest standing menhir in Brittany, France, or Europe but likely in the world. It sneaks past the height of the standing Kergadiou menhir by just under 1 m, and would have been 2 m higher if not for an unlucky stroke of lightning.
To get there from the commune of Plouarzel, drive east from the center on D5 about 2.4 km and turn right onto Route du Menhir. Continue for 1.5 km to a large signposted parking lot ... Read More |
| Creeg Tol | Rock Outcrop | England | Cornwall | Philnr (Blog) | Visited | 2nd Oct 2026 | 4 | Saw coming back from Boscawen-ûn Stone circle, under electricity pole. Overgrown gorse. | ||
| Three Kings | Stone Circle | England | Northumberland | IngridW (Blog) | Visited | 26th Sep 2026 | 3 | 4 | 3 | There is a good, waymarked route to the site from the Hindhope Linn car park in Kielder Forest. There are toilets and picnic tables here too! The walk from the car park is just over a mile, 2.75 mile round trip with some uphill sections but no technical difficulty. |
| Ballykeel | Portal Tomb | Ireland (Northern) | Co. Armagh | Michaelajay (Blog) | Visited | 21st Dec 2022 | 3 | 5 | 4 | A gorgeous dolmen, with offerings left on the winter solstice. Easily accessible and from what I remember, signposted (but very easy to miss!) |
| Ballymacdermot | Court Tomb | Ireland (Northern) | Co. Armagh | Michaelajay (Blog) | Visited | 21st Dec 2022 | 3 | 5 | 5 | Winter Solstice tour of the sites around Newry. Very easy access (even if the roads are a bit steep!) and gorgeous views of the mountains. Someone had left a bunch of flowers as an offering. |
| Ravensdale Park | Modern Stone Circle etc | Ireland (Republic of) | Co. Louth | Michaelajay (Blog) | Visited | 27th Jun 2026 | 5 | 4 | 3 | The surrounding woodland is a lovely walk, and we spotted some deer wandering around the tree lines. I found a perfect pair of antlers not too far from the stone circle! |
| Kerivoret Menhir | Standing Stone (Menhir) | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | stonetracker (Blog) | Visited | 1st Sep 2026 | 4 | 5 | 4 | See my visitor log entry for the Kerivoret Dolmen for parking and directions. The menhir is a mere 40 meters east of the dolmen. |
| Kerivoret Dolmen | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | stonetracker (Blog) | Visited | 1st Sep 2026 | 3 | 5 | 4 | A chamber composed of multiple orthostats with a very large capstone in good condition. Perhaps it was a full-fledged allee couverte at some point but there is no evidence of a passage today. What looks like an indicator menhir is perhaps 100 ft east of the dolmen and easily seen (see the separate entry on the MP for the Kerivoret Menhir).
To get there, drive south of the village of Porspoder on D27 about 1.2 km and take a right E onto the Rou... Read More |
| Bogleys | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Fife | lugus (Blog) | Visited | 28th Oct 2026 | -1 | 1 | 3 | The stone has been left dumped in a dilapidated building and has graffiti spayed and carved into it. It is a shame the council have left it to be destroyed. |
| Landesmuseum für Vorgeschichte | Museum | Germany | Saxony-Anhalt | steinkreisreisen (Blog) | Visited | 1st Aug 2026 | 5 | 5 | 5 | This is my most favourite museum. This was my second visit and I still have not seen everything. There is so much to see, but the items are displayed in a very nice not overwhelming manner. The current exhibition Die Schamanin was extended so go and visit! |
| Bizzicu Rossu dolmen | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | France | Corsica:Corse-Sud (2A) | ciatology (Blog) | Visited | 16th Sep 2026 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Sito interessante in una zona pianeggiante dopo un sentiero continuamente in discesa. Il menhir ha i due lati rivolti ad est e ad ovest e in questa parte si nota una forma allungata in rilievo; il dolmen è ancora piuttosto integro, tranne la lastra laterale sinistra (nella foto) in parte crollata.
ACCESSO. Arrivati al piccolo paese di Grossa, si arriva a piedi al minuscolo quartiere "U LINARU" (o U LINARI). Qui, fra la fila sinistra di case, s... Read More |
| Nuvallela statue-menhir | Sculptured Stone | France | Corsica:Corse-nord (2B) | ciatology (Blog) | Visited | 10th Sep 2026 | 3 | 5 | Le coordinate che avevo trovato da uno dei due contributori erano molto imprecise. Mi collocavano il menhir all'interno del paese di S. Lucia di Mercurio ma, in realtà, mi è stato spiegato che il manufatto si trova a circa 15 minuti di macchina dal villaggio. Le coordinate effettive che ho rilevato con il "Garmin GPSMAP 65s" sono: N 42.326501, E 009.221053 | |
| Torre de Foce | Stone Fort or Dun | France | Corsica:Corse-Sud (2A) | ciatology (Blog) | Visited | 9th Sep 2026 | 2 | 3 | 4 | sito in condizioni precarie, soprattutto a causa di alti alberi che crescono sulla sommità delle mura e il cui peso tende a farle crollare. A mio modesto parere, se si è in zona ha senso visitarlo, altrimenti conviene dirottare su altri castellari più integri. |
| Avebury | Stone Circle | England | Wiltshire | Michaelajay (Blog) | Visited | 20th Jun 2025 | 4 | 5 | 4 | A long-weekend camping trip with close friends, to visit the sites in & around Avebury. My second trip to Avebury circle on the solstice - always a pleasure. The year that fire was ‘banned’, but glad to see the fire dancers performing regardless. |
| Île Carn cairn | Chambered Cairn | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | stonetracker (Blog) | Visited | 1st Sep 2026 | 3 | 5 | 3 | Access to this ancient island-based chambered tomb, despite all the warnings, was a bit easier than I expected. To be honest, I did consult the tide charts of the area carefully before I attempted the crossing. Parking is in a large dirt lot just north of Rue de Porsguen in the coastal town of Ploudalmezeau at 48.56995, -4.69041. This is about 1 km SSE of the Ile Carn site which is only accessible 60-90 minutes either side of low tide. A short sa... Read More |
| Monte Revincu stone circle | Stone Circle | France | Corsica:Corse-nord (2B) | ciatology (Blog) | Couldn't find | 9th Sep 2026 | La visita del sito, purtroppo, è quasi impossibile; questo perché si trova all'interno di una vasta zona adibita all'addestramento militare (Legione Straniera francese, Désert des Agriates). Se ricordo bene, si può entrare in quell'area soltanto il primo sabato pomeriggio (fino al tramonto) di ogni mese.. (Info apprese dai cartelli appesi alle recinzioni militari) | |||
| Menhir du Guilligui | Standing Stone (Menhir) | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | stonetracker (Blog) | Visited | 1st Sep 2026 | 3 | 3 | 3 | This is on the way to the Guilligui Allee Couverte along the trail from the parking area at the roundabout. It is next to an information sign 50-60 m east of the allee couverte and the highest point of the promontory. See the visitor log for the allee couverte for trail access. |
| Browgate 01 | Rock Art | England | Yorkshire (West) | simongreenwood (Blog) | Visited | 28th Sep 2026 | 5 | 3 | 4 | Visited to check its condition and it's getting covered in tree growth and ivy so it's less easy to see the marks but still intact - the walls around it have been hit by vehicles a few times over the years. |
| Pointe de Guilligui allée couverte | Passage Grave | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | stonetracker (Blog) | Visited | 1st Sep 2026 | 3 | 5 | 2 | This turned out to be a little more of an adventure to find than I expected. The closest parking to the site on the hill is just west of the roundabout next to Portsall Harbor where Rue de Port and Rue de L'Eglise meet. There are 5-10 spaces in a little lot next to a Boulangerie-Patisserie called Abers. Just to the left of Abers is a small lane that goes straight up the hill, by a house on the left, and narrows to a dirt path. The Giilligui site... Read More |
| Harolds Stones | Stone Row / Alignment | Wales | Monmouthshire (Sir Fynwy) | GEdge (Blog) | Visited | 28th Sep 2026 | 3 | 4 | 3 | There is still public parking next to a disused chapel. Unfortunately there is no footpath on the short walk to the field containing the stones and the road was busier than expected. The stone alignment runs NE to SW. A local described them as the drunken stones as all three are leaning at different angles. The central stone has two cup marks on the southern side. |
| Créac'h Gallic | Passage Grave | France | Bretagne:Finistère (29) | stonetracker (Blog) | Visited | 1st Sep 2026 | 3 | 4 | 5 | The coordinates are correct and the site is literally right next to the road (maybe partly in it?). Squeezed in between a farm house and a cow pasture. There are fences (electric?) Keeping the cows in the pasture and away from the monument. Parking is limited to a few spaces on the narrow grass verge. You may have to hop the very low wire fence to get close to the chamber but it's easy.
Agree with the original description that the structure is... Read More |
| Sanctuary of Athena Lindia | Ancient Temple | Greece | Greek Islands | Catrinm (Blog) | Visited | 25th Sep 2026 | 2 | 3 | 3 | Lots of tourists - we didnt pay the 20E entrance but walked around the edge |
| Agathi Caves | Cave or Rock Shelter | Greece | Greek Islands | Catrinm (Blog) | Visited | 26th Sep 2026 | 4 | 5 | 5 | Cool atmospheric cave chapel- almost certainly something pre Christian there before ..can be paintings too. |
| Temple of Zeus Polieos and Athina Polias | Ancient Temple | Greece | Greek Islands | Catrinm (Blog) | Visited | 23rd Sep 2026 | 3 | 3 | 3 | Scaffolding on the temple remains right now |
| Rhodes Archaeological Museum | Museum | Greece | Greek Islands | Catrinm (Blog) | Visited | 22nd Sep 2026 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Good museum for finds from across Rhodes (10E) |
| Rhodes Acropolis | Ancient Temple | Greece | Greek Islands | Catrinm (Blog) | Visited | 1st Sep 2026 | 3 | 4 | 2 | Worth a hike from town as free…currently Temple has scaffolding on it 9/26 |
| West Woods Long Barrow | Long Barrow | England | Wiltshire | ajmp3003 (Blog) | Visited | 1st Oct 2025 | 2 | 3 | 2 | when we visited the monument it was very much overgrown and we really had to look for it. The nearby Wansdyke and the beautiful walk in the woods made up for the rather disappointing state of the barrow. |
| Winterbourne Monkton | Chambered Tomb | England | Wiltshire | ajmp3003 (Blog) | Visited | 1st Jan 0004 | -1 | 5 | We parked near the church where we started our walk to windmill Hill. The chambered tomb is actually a fallen sarsen and on itself not very spectacular. for us, the place was special because of the litle charming church with a very nice font. | |
| Bishops Cannings 6-10 Barrows | Round Barrow(s) | England | Wiltshire | ajmp3003 (Blog) | Visited | 1st Oct 2025 | 3 | 3 | 2 | A group of burial mounts in a field can be viewed from some distance. We came along on a walk visiting the Roman way on Morgan's hill and the Wansdyke. |
| Morgans Hill Earthwork | Misc. Earthwork | England | Wiltshire | ajmp3003 (Blog) | Visited | 1st Oct 2025 | 3 | 3 | 2 | Not very spectacular and not very nice setting. for us it was the age of the earthwork that was the interesting thing. A small bonus on a long walk |
| Cherhill White Horse | Hill Figure or Geoglyph | England | Wiltshire | ajmp3003 (Blog) | Visited | 1st Jan 0004 | 5 | 4 | 2 | A nice place to visit. Easily combined with a visit to the hillfort. A steep climb from Cherhill rewarde with great views and a interesting nature reserve. |
| Oldbury Barrow | Round Barrow(s) | England | Wiltshire | ajmp3003 (Blog) | Visited | 1st Jan 0004 | 3 | 4 | 2 | A very impressive hillfort offering spectacular views. We walked uphill from Cherhill and were rewarde with a spectacular hillfort and great views over the hills. |
| All Cannings | Modern Stone Circle etc | England | Wiltshire | ajmp3003 (Blog) | Visited | 1st Jan 0006 | 5 | 4 | 2 | a reconstruction of a long barrow from 2014. Very nicely done. Don't try to go there by car, because the road leading to it is a nightmare. Your car might not survive |
| Adam's Grave (Alton Barnes) | Long Barrow | England | Wiltshire | ajmp3003 (Blog) | Visited | 1st Jan 0006 | 4 | 5 | 3 | An impressive monument in a fantastic setting. In walking distance from the white horse and Wanns dyke. |
| Alton Barnes White Horse | Hill Figure or Geoglyph | England | Wiltshire | ajmp3003 (Blog) | Visited | 1st Jan 0006 | 4 | 4 | 3 | Very nice to see the size of the horse. A great place for a walk. Combines with Adam's Grave and Wanns dyke you have can make a very good walk through the nature reserve and visit several monuments. The white horse and Adam's Grave can be accessed by the nearby car park |
| West Kennett Long Barrow | Long Barrow | England | Wiltshire | ajmp3003 (Blog) | Visited | 1st Oct 2025 | 4 | 5 | 3 | A superb site in excellent condition. Being able to enter a manmade building this old really felt impressive. We visited several times but the feeling is still very strong when we enter the monument. |
| Longstones Barrow | Long Barrow | England | Wiltshire | ajmp3003 (Blog) | Visited | 1st Oct 2025 | 3 | 2 | 4 | The barrow is on private land and not accessible. On some spots you can see it, like from Beckhampton roundabout and from a little track near the Longstones standing stones. Because of its accessibilaty its is not a very good atmosphere. |
| Longstone Cove | Standing Stones | England | Wiltshire | ajmp3003 (Blog) | Visited | 1st Oct 2025 | 3 | 3 | Close to the Beckhampton Long barrow. Two large standing stones in a field. we could not go to the stones itself, but on ouw way to Avebury we considered these stones as a bonus | |
| Windmill Hill (Avebury) | Causewayed Enclosure | England | Wiltshire | ajmp3003 (Blog) | Visited | 1st Oct 2025 | 3 | 4 | 2 | Before you pay a visit to Windmill Hill, do some reading. For us the charm of the place is the significance of the place for the population thousands of years ago. The place itself is not specifically attractive although it offers a splendid view of the Kenneth Valley. It is the historic context that makes the hill a great place to visit. Avebury Rings might be a good start for a nice walk (about 2 miles) through the fields. |
| West Kennet Avenue | Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue | England | Wiltshire | ajmp3003 (Blog) | Visited | 1st Oct 2025 | 4 | 4 | 3 | An impressiv monument. Easily accessed from the Avebury Rings, or Silburry hill, or the parking spaces at the track leading to West Kenneth Longbarrow. Silburry hill, The Avenue and Avebury Rings can be done in one walk. |
| Bowl Barrow South of the Sanctuary | Barrow Cemetery | England | Wiltshire | ajmp3003 (Blog) | Visited | 1st Oct 2025 | 3 | 3 | 4 | A group of burial mounts very close to the Sanctuary. This really adds to your visit of the sanctuary. |
| The Sanctuary Barrows | Barrow Cemetery | England | Wiltshire | ajmp3003 (Blog) | Visited | 1st Oct 2025 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Next to the sanctuary. A little group of 3 burial mounts that really contributes to your visit to the sanctuary. |
| The Sanctuary. | Stone Circle | England | Wiltshire | ajmp3003 (Blog) | Visited | 1st Oct 2025 | 4 | 4 | 5 | Interesting place, Very close to Avebury Rings and Avenue and West Kenneth Long Barrow. Next to the monument is a car park. In the fields adjacent to the monument are some burial mounts. Nice place to pay a visit |
| Silbury Hill | Artificial Mound | England | Wiltshire | ajmp3003 (Blog) | Visited | 1st Oct 2025 | 4 | 4 | 5 | Impressive monument. Parking space available, Easy to combine with West Kenneth Long barrow, The Avebury Avenue and the Avebury Rings. These monuments make a great walk. |
| Uffington Castle | Hillfort | England | Oxfordshire | GEdge (Blog) | Visited | 22nd Sep 2026 | 2 | 4 | 2 | Walked up to the castle/hillfort from the Ridgeway. Also went round the other side to the site of the Uffington White Horse and Dragon Hill |
| Barnakill | Rock Art | Scotland | Argyll | Billythefish (Blog) | Visited | 24th Sep 2026 | 5 | 4 | 4 | Park at the picnic site by the canal lock closest to Barnakill farm. There's a sharp slide down slippery grass to the lane north of the canal. Cross the bridge towards the farm and pass through a gate to the right, then follow the track parallel and north of the stream and follow it around to the left (north). Good walking boots / wellies advised as it gets very muddy and cows graze around the track. There is a sign showing where the art is, but ... Read More |
| Ring-Stone, Martin's Haven | Early Christian Sculptured Stone | Wales | Pembrokeshire | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 8th Sep 2026 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Drive out to the point of Marloes headland for a walk around the Martins Haven nature reserve headland for a look over to Skomer island. The sun is out with beautiful light but its very windy. Start off down to Martin's Haven, passing the info centre with a little niche in the wall at the side of the road where this nicely carved stone is presented. Down at the haven there is a boat is leaving for Skomer, and there are signs on the beach warning ... Read More |
| The Hanging Stone (Pembrokeshire) | Chambered Tomb | Wales | Pembrokeshire | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 7th Sep 2026 | 4 | 3 | 4 | I decide I can visit the Hanging Stone on my way back from Porthgain to Tenby, then use the Cleddau Bridge to get back, so set my satnav for Sardis. Once nearby, there is room to park at the edge of the road before walking down what looks like a private driveway to the stones. Upon approach there is a very nice moment when the stones reveal themselves to you along the trackway in front. The main thing is a large capstone sitting on three support ... Read More |
| Llanrhian Standing Stones | Standing Stones | Wales | Pembrokeshire | TheCaptain (Blog) | Saw from a distance | 7th Sep 2026 | 3 | 3 | 4 | After leaving Porthgain to drive back to Tenby, I quickly glance a stone standing in the field to the left of the road, near to the busy and mucky farm at the Llanrhian junction. Having passed before I realise it, I do not stop to have a better look. |
| Ffyst Samson | Chambered Tomb | Wales | Pembrokeshire | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 7th Sep 2026 | 3 | 4 | 3 | I drive southwest from Goodwick before turning right towards St Nicholas, parking near the farm at the bottom of the footpath which leads up to Ffyst Samson. Initially the path is over open fields, but the last few hundred metres are in scrubland with ferns, gorse and brambles making it quite difficult to get there without getting all scratched up. Once over the big steps style, then the Ffyst Samson dolmen can be seen in clear ground, it's capst... Read More |
| Wayland's Smithy | Long Barrow | England | Oxfordshire | GEdge (Blog) | Visited | 22nd Sep 2026 | 4 | 4 | 2 | Walked the ridgeway from the car park on the B4000. A lovely atmospheric site that i have wanted to visit for a long time. We were watched by a buzzard sitting on the fence oblivious to us and our dogs. I was drawn to the cup marked stones on the eastern orthostats that reminded me of the stones at St Lythans |
| Maen Colman Stone | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Wales | Pembrokeshire | Anne T (Blog) | Visited | 11th Sep 2026 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Capel Colman 1 (Maen Golman): There is a parking area just outside the church, which was busy with walkers; where the traffic was coming from going up and down this small lane left us wondering where it was going from and to. The stone is down the farm track south of St Colman's Church, an easy walk of a few hundred metres from the parking area.
The stone is tucked in the corner of a hedgerow, and only 3 of the sides area visible. The side w... Read More |
| Head of Banks | Cairn | Scotland | Orkney | Heddle (Blog) | Visited | 1st Jan 2026 | 2 | 4 | 4 | A small heather-covered mound. Nothing much to see of the site but amazing views over the Switha Sound. |
| Ridgeway | Ancient Trackway | England | Wiltshire | GEdge (Blog) | Visited | 22nd Sep 2026 | 4 | 4 | 2 | Walked from the car park off the B4000 to Uffington Castle and back. A lovely walk on a Tuesday morning through an ancient landscape with sweeping panoramic views. It is obviously a busy trail at peak times due to the landmarks (Waylands Smithy and Uffington Castle and the White Horse). |
| Cilgerran Churchyard | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Wales | Pembrokeshire | Anne T (Blog) | Visited | 11th Sep 2026 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Cilgerran Stone, St Llawddog's Church: We had trouble finding this church, as the main entrance into the church was from the single track, windy Church Lane with no parking places for visitors. However, from Camaes Street (the main road running through the village) there is a blue notice board for the church, with a lane running northwards towards the church. This led straight to the southern side of the churchyard, with immediate access to the ... Read More |
| Parc-y-Cromlech | Chambered Tomb | Wales | Pembrokeshire | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 7th Sep 2026 | 3 | 4 | 3 | A quick look at whats on the portal before leaving, and see that I can easily walk up the hill to find Parc-y-Cromlech, although unsure whether I will be able to visit, see over the hedges or be completely frustrated. Part way up the hill is an information board, with details of Denys Corbett Wilson, who made the first flight from here to Ireland in 1912 taking off from the field beyond. Once at the top, there is a large farmhouse with B&B, and l... Read More |
| West Kennett Long Barrow | Long Barrow | England | Wiltshire | GEdge (Blog) | Visited | 21st Sep 2026 | 4 | 4 | 4 | As was back in the area and at a peaceful time the visit had to be done |
| Bridell Churchyard | Early Christian Sculptured Stone | Wales | Pembrokeshire | Anne T (Blog) | Visited | 11th Sep 2026 | 3 | 3 | 4 | St David's Church, Bridell (Ogam and cross inscribed stone): We parked outside the southern gates into the churchyard, and were shocked at how unkept the churchyard was, and wondered how we were ever going to find the inscribed stone with all the tall grass - and how I was going to get to photograph it.
As we walked up towards the church, the stone stood tall and narrow above the surrounding gravestones, so in the end it was easy to spot. Som... Read More |
| Drumnahare | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Ireland (Northern) | Co. Down | cmcauley770 (Blog) | Visited | 23rd Sep 2026 | 3 | 4 | 3 | thankfully the flagpole is gone now |
| Garn Wen 4 | Chambered Tomb | Wales | Pembrokeshire | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 7th Sep 2026 | 2 | 3 | 4 | A bit further to the north from 3 and another slab can be found laying in the undergrowth. Not as big or prominent as the other three, this is possibly the remains of a fourth burial chamber. Overall it has been good to find these stones, but their situation leaves a bit to be desired, and at least I can now give them accurate grid references! |
| Garn Wen 3 | Chambered Tomb | Wales | Pembrokeshire | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 7th Sep 2026 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Just a bit further north, and chamber 3 is found. It is either one slab capstone on another large slab and some small supports, or two capstones, now one sat on the other. Many other stones are in the vicinity. |
| Garn Wen 2 | Chambered Tomb | Wales | Pembrokeshire | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 7th Sep 2026 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Moving north along the path, and soon get to the second chamber, basically a large slab capstone resting on several small supporting stones. |
| Margarites Tholos Tomb | Chambered Tomb | Greece | Crete | CoppellaiaMatta (Blog) | Visited | 1st May 2026 | One of my favourite sites, thank you Klingon! And an easy walk from the main road, nowadays! We left the car by the side of the road at 35.366176 24.689430 and took the dirt road on the right. Beautiful round construction. Mind the cobwebs. | |||
| Garn Wen 1 | Chambered Tomb | Wales | Pembrokeshire | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 7th Sep 2026 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Drive to Goodwick then up the hill on the road directly opposite the main road in, which bears round to the right. Follow this road up and there is then a sign pointing left to the burial chambers and a parking area behind the row of houses, with a footpath through behind the gardens. The first chamber (I presume is No 1) is the largest of the four, with a large capstone known as Carreg Samson. There is a little sign with some sort of generic "bu... Read More |
| Dolmen dels Tres Reis | Burial Chamber or Dolmen | Spain | Cataluña | Lorienc (Blog) | Visited | 1st Sep 2026 | 3 | 4 | Good signage on side of road and parking lay-by nearby. Information board. | |
| Lochstein (Wenigzell) | Holed Stone | Austria | AufderSuche (Blog) | Visited | 11th Sep 2026 | 4 | 4 | 4 | There are two holed stones at the church. One is integrated into the outer wall, the other one stands around the corner at a bench and is nearly overgrown. It is said that the one integrated in the wall still stands at its original position. | |
| Cerrig Arthur | Stone Circle | Wales | Gwynedd | w650marion (Blog) | Visited | 18th Sep 2026 | An easy one to visit when you don't want to be in the rain and wind for a long time. 😀 | |||
| Stoney Littleton | Chambered Cairn | England | Somerset | GEdge (Blog) | Visited | 1st Aug 2024 | 4 | 5 | 3 | This is a wonderful site. Very peaceful. The first time i used the app to find a place as the main footpath was out of action at the time. It worked but we did take a 20 minute detour. Famous for the ammonite cast at the foot of the entrance stone. It must be muddy in winter. Long trousers recommended in summer as friend picked up a tick!. |
| St Aidan's Church (Solva) | Early Christian Sculptured Stone | Wales | Pembrokeshire | Anne T (Blog) | Visited | 8th Sep 2026 | 3 | 3 | 4 | St Elvis 1 at St Aiden's Church, Solva. I didn't expect this somewhat 'modern' church to be on a busy main road, and we had to drive up and down the road a couple of times to find somewhere to park, then cross the busy main road where cars and heavy lorries passed by seemed to whizz by. Thankfully, there was a space in the small car park almost opposite the church at SM 79919 24389, with a crossing point adjacent. The church is on the southern... Read More |
| Tremaenhir Standing Stones | Standing Stones | Wales | Pembrokeshire | Anne T (Blog) | Visited | 8th Sep 2026 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Tremaenhir Standing Stone: We were driving down the lane near to this stone to reach our next destination. Neither of us remembered coming here before, but as soon as I saw the stone, it was very familiar. We last visited on 22nd August 2014, and not a thing has changed since our last visit, except the cottages on the small lane leading down to the stone were being refurbished, and builders vans lined the side of the lane (and blocked our exit!...

| Llanhowel Church | Early Christian Sculptured Stone | Wales | Pembrokeshire | Anne T (Blog) | Visited | 8th Sep 2026 | 3 | 4 | 4 | St David's Church, Llanhowel: A lovely little church in a peaceful location. We parked just outside the church and made our way up the path - before the gate was covered in moss, and was really slippery. The church inside is quite small, with the stone immediately to our right hand side against the west wall of the church, somewhat dominated by the adjacent organ against the southern wall of the church.
We were surprised to find such a small... Read More |

| Devil's Quoit (St Twynnells) | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Wales | Pembrokeshire | TheCaptain (Blog) | Saw from a distance | 6th Sep 2026 | Time to get back to base, but not before a quick stop to see if I can see the Devil's Quoit in the fields to the west of the road. Yes, but too far for a decent pic on my phone | |||
| Harold Stone (Bosherton) | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Wales | Pembrokeshire | TheCaptain (Blog) | Saw from a distance | 6th Sep 2026 | Time to get back to base, but not before a quick stop to see if I can see the Harold stone in the fields to the east of the road. Yes, but too far for a decent pic on my phone | |||
| St Govan's Well | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | Wales | Pembrokeshire | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 6th Sep 2026 | 3 | 5 | 4 | Drive out to the car park at St Govan's for a quick look at the chapel and cliffs. Quite a few people there, and it seems like the steps down to the chapel have been made easier than I remember. |
| Devil's Quoit (Stackpole) | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Wales | Pembrokeshire | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 6th Sep 2026 | 4 | 4 | 3 | Circular walk from Bosherston to Broadhaven beach beside the lily ponds, then around the cliffs to Stackpole Head and Barrafundle beach. I then head westwards up through the dunes and woodland of Stackpole Warren to find the cross track which takes me to the Devil's Quoit. A nice stone in the afternoon sun, which has eluded me before. I head back over the eight arch stone bridge and around the lily ponds to Bosherston, for a well earned pint at t... Read More |
| Cwrt-yr-ala | Hillfort | Wales | South Glamorgan | GEdge (Blog) | Visited | 30th Jul 2020 | 2 | 3 | 3 | Next to a ruined church overlooking Caerau where there has been recent archeological digs. Looking Eastwards you would be looking towards Dinas Powys hillfort that is only a couple of miles away as the crow flies |
| Hogtivis Stone | Early Christian Sculptured Stone | Wales | Pembrokeshire | Anne T (Blog) | Visited | 7th Sep 2026 | 2 | 2 | 4 | St Dogewell's Church, Well and St Dogwell's 1 Carved Stone: We last visited this site in 2014, when the churchyard was well tended and cared for, and the church, whilst boarded up, was still in good order. I was shocked at the deterioration in both. The churchyard was completely overgrown, and we had to pick our way over brambles and tall weeds to get to the Hogtivis Stone (now called St Dogwell's 1 by Coflein). The trees behind the stone were... Read More |
| Mowingword Promontory Enclosure | Promontory Fort / Cliff Castle | Wales | Pembrokeshire | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 6th Sep 2026 | 1 | 4 | 3 | Park at Bosherston, then walk alongside the lily ponds to Broadhaven beach, then up onto the cliffs and around to the east to Stackpole Head, passing some tremendous geology, with sea stacks, steep sided coves, arches, caves and round holes. I later notice on the Portal that the thumb of land sticking out from Stackpole Head, Mowingword Promontory, is included as a promontary fort. Has to be said that I saw no evidence of any fortifications, but ... Read More |
| Cross Stones, Llanddowror | Early Christian Sculptured Stone | Wales | Carmarthenshire (Sir Caerfyrddin) | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 5th Sep 2026 | 2 | 3 | 4 | On the way back to the car, I notice "Cross Stones" marked on the map, so go look for them in the playing field beyond the churchyard. What looks like two stubs of once larger stones, a cross carving can be seen on the larger of the two stones, but difficult to see anything on the smaller stone in the shade. |
| Llanddowror Standing stone | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Wales | Carmarthenshire (Sir Caerfyrddin) | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 5th Sep 2026 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Travelling to Tenby and notice a standing stone marked just off the A477, so go have a look. The A477 has been rebuilt and almost passes over the top of this stone, so park in the village and walk along the track under the new road and there it is in the field ahead. Is that really it? looks way too small compared to the pictures I have seen. Yep, it is. Now I guess the art is to get pictures which make it look bigger! |
| Llanllawer Holy Well | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | Wales | Pembrokeshire | Anne T (Blog) | Visited | 7th Sep 2026 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Llanllawer Holy Well: We last visited this site in August 2014, so called again on our way up to the church to photograph the cross inscribed stones in the gatepost to the church, which we hadn't been aware of on our last visit. Nothing much has changed about this site. I didn't remember the drive up to the well, or using the very small layby at the junction of minor roads opposite, but as soon as I saw the well, I remembered having been here b... Read More |
| Verulamium Town Walls | Ancient Village or Settlement | England | Hertfordshire | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 5th Oct 2025 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Much of the city walls can be traced, and now surround the park. I didn't have time to see much of these, but I did go to look at the main remaining stone section, which somehow survived demolition. Most of the Abbey was built using the roman wall and city stone, brick and tile. |
| Verulamium Mosaic & Hypercaust | Ancient Village or Settlement | England | Hertfordshire | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 5th Oct 2025 | 4 | 3 | 4 | From the museum, walk across Verulamium Park for a look at the covered mosaic floor from a large house, complete with hypercaust flues etc underneath. A feature is the mosaic panel which was built wrongly, at a 45 degrtee rotation to what it should have been! |
| Verulamium Museum | Museum | England | Hertfordshire | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 5th Oct 2025 | 5 | 4 | 5 | Stop off to have a look at the Verulamium roman city remains, when on my way back from Essex. I haven't been here since primary school, and I still remember the Roman fort I made out of cardboard. What an excellent museum, with some tremendous finds and displays. Genuine roman wall paintings and superb mosaics incorporated into the displays. |
| Twmpa cairn | Cairn | Wales | Powys | TheCaptain (Blog) | Visited | 31st Aug 2026 | 1 | 5 | 2 | A blowy and blustery bank holiday Monday trip to the Black Mountains, we head up the Gospel Pass to park, then walk southwest along the top to Lord Hereford's Knob (Twmpa) and on to Rhos Dirion for a sit down and lunch. At the top of Lord Hereford's Knob used to be a walkers cairn, but this has now been flattened, leaving a sort of circular base of stones, in which at one point I am sure is the remains of a cist, with two side set stones creating...

| Ffynnon Wnda | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | Wales | Pembrokeshire | Anne T (Blog) | Visited | 7th Sep 2026 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Ffynnon Wnda Holy Well: Coming from St Gwndaff's church, we followed the directions, but still had difficulty finding this well; we were put off by the proximity of the builder's vans and equipment left at the edge of the small copse, as we thought this was part of the garden of the house they were working on.
The directions said to return to the lane from the road, spot a copse opposite, and there is a wooden gate leading to the well. The co... Read More |
| Llanwnda Cemetery Crossroads stone | Early Christian Sculptured Stone | Wales | Pembrokeshire | Anne T (Blog) | Visited | 7th Sep 2026 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Llanwnda Cemetery Stone: After visiting St Gwndaff's Church and the Llanwnda Holy Holy Well, we drove back down the road to find this stone. Many thanks to h_fenton for his diagram, which enabled us to find the stone really easily.
It was obviously rubbish/bin collection day, but thankfully, everyone had piled their rubbish on the opposite side of the road to this stone, so I was able to take a close look at it, and to photograph it.

| Segontium | Stone Fort or Dun | Wales | Gwynedd | GEdge (Blog) | Visited | 12th Mar 2025 | 2 | 3 | 5 | Parked on road right next to the site. A small museum and free entry to the grounds. On an elevated position overlooking the Menai Strait |
| St Nicholas Church Inscribed Stones | Early Christian Sculptured Stone | Wales | Pembrokeshire | Anne T (Blog) | Visited | 7th Sep 2026 | 3 | 4 | 4 | St Nicholas's Church, Tremarchog: First stop of the day, and a beautiful, peaceful spot. The houses, largely ancient, are built right up to the eastern end of the churchyard wall, vaguely reminiscent of a much smaller version of Hexham Abbey but with the same peaceful, cloistered feel.
The stones inside the church are easy to find, and to photograph. Andrew and I were both really interested in the Greater Dewisland Local Ministry Area Websit... Read More |
| Fynnon Drudion | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Wales | Pembrokeshire | Anne T (Blog) | Visited | 9th Sep 2026 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Ffynnon Druidon Standing Stone: This stone can be seen from the small, single track lane which runs just to the east of it. Whilst there were sheep in the adjacent field, the gate into this field had been left open, although the ground was extremely boggy, so we viewed it from a distance. A bonus to see this after having tried to see the Ffynnon Druidion Chambered Tomb just to the north; there was no trace of this, but very large lumps of ston... Read More |
| Fan Lau Stone Circle | Stone Circle | China | longhintim (Blog) | Visited | 18th Nov 2013 | 2 | 3 | 1 | Surrounded by a wired fence, long walk to reach but not strenuous, most of the way was through the Lantau trail, but the final stretch was a bit difficult to navigate and locate. It has been a while since I visited, unsure if this information is still up to date | |

| Great Orme Mine | Ancient Mine, Quarry or other Industry | Wales | Conwy (Bwrdeistref Sirol) | GEdge (Blog) | Saw from a distance | 11th Mar 2025 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Lesson learnt. Check if i site is open before walking all the way up the Great Orme. However there was still plenty of other stuff to keep me occupied |
| Willesley Warren | Long Barrow | England | Hampshire | Spiderdrone (Blog) | Visited | 11th Sep 2026 | Managed to get in the air and see if there was anything that can be seen however it looks like this has been completed destroyed with nothing but a possible mark left in the ground as seen via Google Maps. | |||
| Dun Burgidale | Stone Fort or Dun | Scotland | Isle of Bute | ashughes (Blog) | Visited | 13th Sep 2026 | 2 | 5 | 1 | A long walk well off the West Island Way path across boggy terrain. You'll definitely need a compass and map to navigate (or GPS in your phone could do I suppose). Watch out for livestock. |
