| Wayland's Smithy | Long Barrow | England | Oxfordshire | Visited | 24th Jun 2022 | 4 | 4 | 3 | A must see on our day out from London to Avebury.

It was fun to see the kids playing around on what to them must have just been another field trip, but for us was a (possibly) once in a lifetime visit. | 20 | 2 |

| Uffington White Horse | Hill Figure or Geoglyph | England | Oxfordshire | Visited | 24th Jun 2022 | 4 | 5 | 3 | We just caught oblique glimpses of it from the road below. Once at the horse itself, it is surprising just how small the cuts in the turf are. I was expecting them to be measured in yards, but instead you could measure them in feet, or inches in some places. I'm sure there are better places to vi... Read More |

| Avebury | Stone Circle | England | Wiltshire | Visited | 24th Jun 2022 | 4 | 4 | 5 | Alas, due to rental car problems we had all of 45 minutes to explore the whole Avebury area. I only got to see 1/4 of the circle and we had to leave. | 20 | 6 |
| Silbury Hill | Artificial Mound | England | Wiltshire | Visited | 24th Jun 2022 | 5 | 3 | 5 | Somewhat disappointed that there is no pedestrian access, but it is understandable. | 20 | 7 |
| West Kennett Long Barrow | Long Barrow | England | Wiltshire | Visited | 24th Jun 2022 | 4 | 5 | 2 | As spectacular as expected. Great to visit a chambered tomb that still has its covering of earth. | 20 | 8 |
| West Kennet Avenue | Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue | England | Wiltshire | Visited | 24th Jun 2022 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Unfortunately we were able to spend all of a minute or two here before having to head back to London. | 20 | 9 |
| National Museum of Scotland (Pictish Stones) | Museum | Scotland | Midlothian | Visited | 27th Jun 2024 | 5 | 5 | 5 | First in person view of Pictish stones. I eventually found the ones I was looking for, but they are scattered through several rooms on two floors of the museum. | 21 | 1 |
| National Museum of Scotland (Early Christian Stones) | Ancient Cross | Scotland | Midlothian | Visited | 27th Jun 2024 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 21 | 2 | |
| National Museum of Scotland | Museum | Scotland | Midlothian | Visited | 27th Jun 2024 | 4 | 5 | 5 | Lots of very interesting and important prehistoric artifacts, but it is very hard to find specific items due the the organization of the floors. They are laid out according to a curator's whim of what "theme" the artifact falls unter, rather than chronological. There were carved stone balls in at le... Read More |

| Court Cave | Cave or Rock Shelter | Scotland | Fife | Visited | 27th Jun 2024 | 4 | 4 | 5 | When we unexpectedly realized our deviation from the gps route led us through Wemyss, we had to pay the caves a visit. | 21 | 4 |
| Jonathan’s Cave | Cave or Rock Shelter | Scotland | Fife | Visited | 27th Jun 2024 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Barred off like the other caves in the area. | 21 | 5 |
| Well Cave (East Wemyss) | Cave or Rock Shelter | Scotland | Fife | Visited | 27th Jun 2024 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Alas, the mouth of the cave is quite covered, the lawn in front of it is also quite overgrown. Thanks to TIme Team we can still imagine what it looks like inside. | 21 | 6 |
| Lundin Links | Stone Circle | Scotland | Fife | Visited | 27th Jun 2024 | 4 | 4 | 3 | Took a picture over the wall of the cottage to the west. Be sure to ask permission, the residents are kindly but do not want people climbing over their wall to access the stones. | 21 | 7 |
| The Blue Stane (St Andrews) | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Fife | Visited | 28th Jul 2023 | 5 | 2 | 5 | Well, at least it beats London's stone... | 21 | 8 |
| Monk's Well, St Andrews | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | Scotland | Fife | Visited | 31st Jul 2023 | 5 | 5 | 4 | Very nice setting at the edge of the cemetery. Do watch out for the statues? of angels in the vicinity. | 21 | 9 |
| McManus Galleries | Museum | Scotland | Angus | Visited | 28th Jun 2024 | 5 | 5 | 5 | A wonderful local museum in a grand old building. The prehistoric collection is informative and well laid out. The rest of the museum is eclectic and interesting. | 21 | 10 |
| Tealing | Souterrain (Fogou, Earth House) | Scotland | Angus | Visited | 30th Jun 2024 | 4 | 5 | 4 | My first visit to a souterrain. Just off the road from Dundee to Aberlemno, so we had to stop by. | 21 | 11 |
| Aberlemno | Standing Stones | Scotland | Angus | Visited | 30th Jun 2024 | 4 | 4 | 5 | A highlight of our trip to Scotland. After seeing many Pictish stones in museums, it was great to see some in almost their natural setting. | 21 | 12 |
| Carsegownie Cairn | Cairn | Scotland | Angus | Visited | 30th Jul 2023 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Not much to see. Fortunately we were there on a quiet morning, but I imagine parking without disrupting traffic could be a challenge on a busy day | 21 | 13 |
| Blackgate of Pitscandlie | Stone Circle | Scotland | Angus | Visited | 30th Jun 2024 | 2 | 2 | 4 | Visited early on a Sunday and didn't see anyone around, so we had to be content with a view from the driveway. | 21 | 14 |
| Glamis 2 | Class I / Class II Hybrid Pictish Symbol Stone | Scotland | Angus | Visited | 30th Jun 2024 | 4 | 4 | 5 | Arrived during the service at the church, so we didn't feel like we could ask about entering the manse grounds. | 21 | 15 |
| Eassie Stone | Class II Pictish Symbol Stone | Scotland | Angus | Visited | 30th Jun 2024 | 4 | 4 | 4 | What a great setting in the ruined church. 5 for ambience if it weren't for the (necessary) glass box. | 21 | 16 |
| Coddu Vecchiu Tomba di Giganti | Chambered Tomb | Italy | Sardinia (Sardegna) | Visited | 23rd Jul 2025 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Our first stop after the airport. (priorities, you know!) The nicest Giant's Tomb we would see this week. | 22 | 1 |
| La Prisciona Nuraghe | Broch or Nuraghe | Italy | Sardinia (Sardegna) | Visited | 23rd Jul 2025 | 4 | 4 | 5 | On our way to our hotel we had to make a little detour. The boardwalks detract a bit from the ambience, but the raised platforms are nice for pictures | 22 | 2 |
| Su Monte 'e S'Abe Tomba di Giganti | Chambered Tomb | Italy | Sardinia (Sardegna) | Visited | 23rd Jul 2025 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Bit of a longer walk in the summer heat after just getting off the plane from cooler climes, but very worth the visit. | 22 | 3 |
| Villaggio nuragico di Sos Muros (Orosei) | Ancient Village or Settlement | Italy | Sardinia (Sardegna) | Visited | 25th Jul 2025 | 2 | 2 | 3 | A very untidy entrance area, with lots of junk lying around, and a sad looking dog tied up at the beginning of the path. There are hints of structures all around, but very overgrown and difficult to interpret. | 22 | 4 |
| Sos Moios Domus de Janas | Rock Cut Tomb | Italy | Sardinia (Sardegna) | Visited | 25th Jul 2025 | 4 | 4 | 5 | After much frustration of finding most of the sites I wanted to visit were behind fences or locked gates, it was a pleasant surprise to find a site that could be visited, but with a paved path leading to it! | 22 | 5 |
| S'Ena Tunda Tomba di Giganti | Chambered Tomb | Italy | Sardinia (Sardegna) | Visited | 25th Jul 2025 | 4 | 5 | 4 | Another easily accessible site. A wonderful location. | 22 | 6 |
| Conca Umosa Nuraghe | Broch or Nuraghe | Italy | Sardinia (Sardegna) | Visited | 25th Jul 2025 | 1 | 4 | 2 | Rough going to reach this site. After much wandering and scrambling around the rocks I found the faded sign from the local archaeology unit among rocks that themselves seem nothing special. It turns out I was only about 50 meters below the actual base of the nuraghe. | 22 | 7 |
| Nuraghe Mannu (Dorgali) | Broch or Nuraghe | Italy | Sardinia (Sardegna) | Saw from a distance | 27th Jul 2025 | 4 | 4 | 3 | We had no idea that this site charged a fee and would have opening hours, so we arrived at 8:00 pm to find we had missed it. It is possible to drive to the ticket gate to drop people off and save 500m of walking, but the nearest parking is 800m back up the road. | 22 | 8 |
| Nuragheddu Nuralgic village | Ancient Village or Settlement | Italy | Sardinia (Sardegna) | Visited | 27th Jul 2025 | 2 | 4 | 3 | A steep scramble along a reasonable trail. I with I had more time to explore there, as I discovered later that there was much more to see higher up, but we wanted to visit the nearby nuraghe as well - not realizing it had already closed for the night. | 22 | 8 |
| Santa Lucia Nuraghe | Broch or Nuraghe | Italy | Sardinia (Sardegna) | Visited | 29th Jul 2025 | 2 | 3 | 3 | Park at the church above the nuraghe. The climb up from the bottom is difficult and would go through private property. | 22 | 9 |
| Cutinas Tomba dei Giganti | Chambered Tomb | Italy | Sardinia (Sardegna) | Visited | 29th Jul 2025 | 2 | 4 | 5 | An environment reminiscent of Oregon's high desert. A little site in the midst of a large area of open range. Make sure you close the gates behind you! | 22 | 10 |
| Oddoene Domus de Janas | Rock Cut Tomb | Italy | Sardinia (Sardegna) | Visited | 29th Jul 2025 | 5 | 4 | 4 | Not marked on any of my maps or referenced on any websites, I just happened to see the familiar looking information sign at the side of the road. What a find! | 22 | 11 |
| Su Itichinzu Tomba di Giganti | Chambered Tomb | Italy | Sardinia (Sardegna) | Visited | 29th Jul 2025 | 3 | 3 | 4 | There is an obvious path leading from the road to the site through a wonky gate made of twine and an old pallet. I was not surprised to find the circular structure nearby, but now I can't find where I would have heard that it was there. | 22 | 12 |
| Su Picante Tomba di Giganti | Chambered Tomb | Italy | Sardinia (Sardegna) | Visited | 29th Jul 2025 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Nice location wth a dedicated parking area. It would have been nice to have an information board with a picture of what it looked like while still under its mound. | 22 | 13 |
| Romanzesu Villaggio Santuario | Ancient Village or Settlement | Italy | Sardinia (Sardegna) | Visited | 30th Jul 2025 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Recommended by some German ladies I met at Su Picante, so we checked it out on our way back to the airport. Nice, but probably much better with one of the guided tours. | 22 | 16 |
| Loelle Nuraghe | Broch or Nuraghe | Italy | Sardinia (Sardegna) | Visited | 30th Jul 2025 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Nice medium sized nuraghe with interior stairs that allow access to two upper levels. | 22 | 17 |
| Tomba dei Giganti Loelle I | Chambered Tomb | Italy | Sardinia (Sardegna) | Visited | 30th Jul 2025 | 2 | 1 | 5 | Not much to see, unfortunately the best view has the public works building right behind it. | 22 | 18 |
| Tomba dei Giganti Loelle 2 | Chambered Tomb | Italy | Sardinia (Sardegna) | Visited | 30th Jul 2025 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Easy enough to find, but both tombs are a bit of a let down after the nice nuraghe. | 22 | 19 |
| Loelle Stonerow | Stone Row / Alignment | Italy | Sardinia (Sardegna) | Visited | 30th Jul 2025 | 4 | 2 | 4 | The wooden columns totally obscure the fact that this is even a stone row. Now they look more like stones that were simply used as parking bollards. | 22 | 20 |
