| Ravenswood Avenue | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Midlothian | Visited | 11th Aug 2019 | 3 | 3 | 5 | A pleasant walk through the housing estate (after visiting the Cat Stane at Inch) brought us to this sad menhir, cut off from its surroundings by an enclosing metal cage. Again, not in its original position, although I was able to dowse the likely location of that in the road.
The metal railings... Read More |

| Cat Stane (Inch) | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Midlothian | Visited | 11th Aug 2019 | 5 | 3 | 5 | Despite previous reports stating that permission is required to visit this stone, we went on a Sunday and the place seemed very quiet, so we just walked in without challenge. The stone is right outside the door to the nursing home and close to windows, so I imagine that on a weekday you might be que... Read More |

| Balgarthno | Stone Circle | Scotland | Angus | Visited | 16th Feb 2019 | 2 | 3 | 4 | I was confused as this circle is described as a recumbent circle, but it has nothing in common with the recumbent style as far as I can see, and the Canmore entry makes this clear..
Access is pretty easy from the road, there is a track that you could get a wheelchair along, but the final 20m or ... Read More |

| Westfield Farm Refuge Stone | Early Christian Sculptured Stone | Scotland | West Lothian | Visited | 10th Feb 2019 | 5 | 4 | 4 | Westfield Farm refuge stone is somewhat similar to the sanctuary stone in the churchyard at Torphichen, being a bit narrower at the base and it clearly appears to have been worked on at least two sides. It's considerably larger however.
There is faint evidence of some tantalising scratchings that ... Read More |

| Brithdir Mawr stone circle | Modern Stone Circle etc | Wales | Pembrokeshire | Visited | 5th Sep 2003 | For an account of the raising of this circle, see: https://geomancygroup.org/sacred-space/stone-circles/brithdir-mawr/ | |||||
| Easthill | Stone Circle | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | Visited | 30th Sep 2018 | 3 | 4 | 3 | A bit of a walk (and this might not be the best route if bracken is high!)- we parked in lane beside farm buildings opposite South Castlehill and followed track up the hill to a ruined cottage and 2 barns. Bear right and continue following track uphill. Once you clear the trees, pass 2 thorn trees a... Read More |

| The Tron | Modern Stone Circle etc | Scotland | Angus | Visited | 22nd Jul 2017 | 4 | 3 | 4 | A strangely poignant atmosphere pervades this solitary stone, left isolated from the rest of the village square by a high hedge.
There is reasonably easy access by walking a short way up the estate side road past the fence, then cutting back through some long grass. The Tron is protected by a woode... Read More |

| Colen | Stone Circle | Scotland | Perth and Kinross | Visited | 22nd Jul 2017 | 2 | 3 | Circle was very overgrown, could only really make out the large stone and the cup-marked fallen stone next to it. With some more thrashing through the undergrowth I found another 3 or 4 smaller fallen stones, but it was heavy going. Lovely view though. | |||
| Spaceguard Centre | Modern Stone Circle etc | Wales | Powys | Visited | 22nd Apr 2017 | 3 | 4 | Access to the site is very easy by car, the circle is right beside the car park. However the circle itself is very overgrown and neglected with some trees within and very uneven ground making walking difficult.
Several stones are literally disintegrating - they seem to be unweathered chalk -and ... Read More |

| Breemie Stones | Modern Stone Circle etc | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Jan 2016 | 5 | 5 | 4 | Open access, park behind BA Country Stores and walk up the hill to the labyrinth and stones. For more info on the labyrinth, see: http://geomancygroup.org/sacred-space/labyrinths/breemie/ | ||

| Annathill Farm | Modern Stone Circle etc | Scotland | North Lanarkshire | Visited | 19th Jan 2016 | 3 | 3 | 3 | I had not heard of this site until seeing it on the Megalithic Portal Google Earth file, so went to investigate. I think it is erroneously listed here as an ancient stone circle, the stones are small and on the whole adjactent to each other giving it more of the feel of an enclosure, possibly 18th C...

| Ōyu | Stone Circle | Japan | Honshū | Visited | 1st Jul 2015 | 4 | 5 | 4 | An excellent visitor centre with good exhibits of Jomon artefacts and cultural displays sets the scene well for these two circles, although there is a distinct lack of English information. They did produce a small brochure with some bits in English when asked.
Clearly a large community lived her... Read More |

| Komakino | Stone Circle | Japan | Honshū | Visited | 1st Jul 2015 | 4 | 4 | 4 | A well-restored Jomon site with easy footpath access from the small visitor centre. The road up the hill to the site is another story however!
A slice has been left unexcavated to allow access to the centre of the circle, which is otherwise forbidden. There is a viewing platform to the west of th... Read More |

| Ballochmyle | Rock Art | Scotland | East Ayrshire | Visited | 1st May 2013 | 4 | 4 | 4 | A wee bit of a walk over rough terrain on the final approach, can be a bit boggy if the weather's poor. |
