| Menir do Padrão | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Portugal | Faro | Visited | 1st Nov 2019 | 3 | 4 | 5 | This is a good one to stop at if you’re nearby. There may be at least one other fallen megalith in the brush nearby on the other side of the road. | ||
| Museu Municipal de Marvão | Museum | Portugal | Portalegre | Visited | 4 | 4 | 4 | Marvão itself is one of the most fantastic places I have ever been in my life. Like a giant Glastonbury Tor, the high stony mount on which it is built stands high high above all of the land around it so that you can see for miles until everything becomes small and blue in every direction.

| Waun Mawn NE | Standing Stones | Wales | Pembrokeshire | Visited | 20th Sep 2018 | 2 | 3 | Visited not long after MPP's excavation there. The squares of turf were still freshly replaced.

| Columcille Megalith Park | Modern Stone Circle etc | United States | Pennsylvania | Visited | 28th Jun 2015 | 5 | 4 | 5 | A fun place for US megalith fans. Built after a dream about megaliths, and it does have a dreaminess about it. It's up on the Kittatinny Ridge, surrounded by woodland and next to a religious retreat. There is a lovely chapel with a big stone in the centre, where you can sit and read or contemplate. | ||
| Bosley Minn 1 | Standing Stone (Menhir) | England | Cheshire | Visited | 9th Jun 2015 | 4 | 5 | Beautiful spot, but it was unclear whether the stones were ever part of an ancient site. Still, it's worth a visit, since perhaps they were, and anyway, there are beautiful views from up on the hill, and a tranquil feel to the area. | |||
