Nunwick Henge	Henge	England	Yorkshire (North)	Visited	11th May 2024	-1	2	5	nout to see of henge parking on a busy road means not worth bothering
Hutton Moor	Henge	England	Yorkshire (North)	Visited		3	4	1	on private farmland needs permission. ploughing has smoothed the banks and ditches but gives a good idea of what it was like to be inside this large space
Cana Henge	Henge	England	Yorkshire (North)	Visited	11th May 2024	1	2	5	nout to see of henge but a decent view over to dales and n y moors. doubts over views in neolithic due to tree cover
Maes Howe	Chambered Cairn	Scotland	Orkney	Visited	3rd Jul 2023	3	4	4	I visited the mound in 2022 and inside 2023. you aren't allowed to take photos inside. The tour guide was up to date and covered the neolithic and much later norse visitors and runes. There is a very good article on the passage alignment in the 2023 issue of the Orkney Archaeology review £10. ... Read More
Easter Aquhorthies	Stone Circle	Scotland	Aberdeenshire	Visited	7th Jul 2023	3		4	fortuitous meeting with a geologist there-almost all the stones are of similar igneous, typical 'granite' type. Two are finer grained with striations, and the 'jasper' stone is a very different type, probably slower cooling. Views of the peak of Bennache to WNW.

Balquhain	Stone Circle	Scotland	Aberdeenshire	Visited		3	4	3	the 3.2m quartz outer is an imposing stone. lichen does not seem to grow on quartz, so it is bare rock. The landowner is very proud of it and said that in the full moonlight the stone gleams. it would have been a beacon from afar.

Auchquhorthies	Stone Circle	Scotland	Aberdeenshire	Visited	22nd Jun 2023	3	4	4	i parked up the road in an empty farm yard. it's about a km walk from there, along an old track (don't block this). no gates. the site is more overgrown than old photos, but someone cuts the grass now and then. Take care as it is lumpy stones under the long grass. The stones seem to be local rock, a... Read More

South Sannox	Stone Circle	Scotland	Isle of Arran	Visited	4th May 2023	3	5	3	a lovely little banked circle, on the lower slopes of Goatfell. Leveled with banking to the N- NE. No obvious entrance evident and about 15m diameter. so maybe not a hut circle. or, maybe a hut circle.
Replica Bronze Age Round House at Brodick Castle	Modern Stone Circle etc	Scotland	Isle of Arran	Visited	8th May 2023	4	5	4	A great visit-the fire had been prepared 2 hours before, so the hot air and smoke was filtering well through the roof (bracken and thatch). Sat inside it was only smoky in the upper space. Definitely not as smoky as sitting round a fire in the open. A lovely space that seems so much bigger than its ... Read More
Holm of Papa Westray South	Chambered Cairn	Scotland	Orkney	Visited	13th Jun 2022	3	5	2	the cairn is prominent on the island and can also be seen from much of Papa Westray. Is dark inside and hard to get good photos-Jeffreps are much better than mine.
Crawick Multiverse	Modern Stone Circle etc	Scotland	Dumfries and Galloway	Visited	3rd May 2023	4		3	a great modern construction on neolithic scale. the avenue is orientated north south (whew) . Only £4 entry fee, stay all day if you want, open 10am to 6pm. Campervan parkup £15 a night.
Stronach Ridge Rock Art	Rock Art	Scotland	Isle of Arran	Visited	8th May 2023	3	5	3	A 'wow' for rock carving afficionados. a perfect site to visit on a rainy day on Arran. The unusual 'lollypops' differ from the usual cup and concentric rings elsewhere.
Auchencar	Standing Stones	Scotland	Isle of Arran	Visited	10th May 2023	4	4		stands in a field of sheep, with double fencing. looked like no access at lambing time. can get photo with a zoom lens. located on low land and orientated along the coast about SSE. a fallen stone nearby.

Machrie Moor 2	Stone Circle	Scotland	Isle of Arran	Visited	10th May 2023	2	5	3	three 'Stennes' like stones remain. other stones are either fallen, or otherwise dismantled. More of a square than a circle? Two millstones at the SE.
Machrie Moor 3	Stone Circle	Scotland	Isle of Arran	Visited	10th May 2023	2	5	3	an impressive tall stone. it seems it is uncertain if the other stones were also tall.
Machrie Moor 4	Stone Circle	Scotland	Isle of Arran	Visited	10th May 2023	4	4	3	looks like a four 'poster' to me
Machrie Moor 5	Stone Circle	Scotland	Isle of Arran	Visited	10th May 2023	3	5	3	impressive double ring of granite stones. Like the other Machrie sites 'excavated' by Bryce the 'Destroyer', the centre is lumpy and may not represent original structure.
Moss farm chambered cairn	Chambered Cairn	Scotland	Isle of Arran	Visited	10th May 2023	2	3	3	just two stones of a chamber left. possibly faced west, towards Tormore 2
Tormore 2	Chambered Cairn	Scotland	Isle of Arran	Visited	10th May 2023	2	4	3	this looks like it was a sizable cairn originally, east facing facade. It is located on a low hill overlooking the Machrie valley, and intervisible with the possible cursus on the hill to the SW.

Appletreewick	Stone Circle	England	Yorkshire (North)	Visited	13th Sep 2022	4	5	3	a lovely little 6 stone ring, that really demonstrates that the neolithic/bronze age was not all about massive fancy sites involving lots of people. the small sites emphasise the personal, a small group of people enacting possibly the same belief system as elsewhere. The stone hexagon at Fancarl top... Read More

Woodchester Beaker Barrow	Round Barrow(s)	England	Gloucestershire	Visited	25th Jul 2022	2	3	3	you can get to it but it is on aircraft land. parking is at woodchester NT carpark (charges). the barrows at nymphsfield and uley are much better.
Gatcombe Lodge	Long Barrow	England	Gloucestershire	Visited	25th Jul 2022	2	3		site is fenced and has mature trees grown on it. these will have destroyed much of the internal structure. Gatcombe is a royal residence with security staff so it is not advisable to go on the land, and there's nout to see anyway.
Howe Chambered Tomb	Chambered Tomb	Scotland	Orkney	Visited	15th Jun 2022	-1	4		although the site is demolished, the ambience in terms of views is very good, NE over Unstan to Brodgar and the hills beyond at Staneyhill quarry and chambered tomb, and SW to the Hoy hills.

From Harper howe you can see right across the valley west to Maes Howe, Unstan, Stennes, Brodgar, Bookan, south west to the Hoy hills, and east to Cuween and Wideford. That all these major sites are intervisible at Harper suggests some importance of this cairn.

Wideford Hill	Chambered Cairn	Scotland	Orkney	Visited	8th Jun 2022	3	5	3	looking west from Wideford, you see its mirror twin at Cuween and the cairns past Finstown at Binscarth (Harper howe). From the top of Wideford hill you can see most of Orkney.

Tor of Craigoch	Hillfort	Scotland	Dumfries and Galloway	Visited	30th Mar 2022	3	5	4	amazing views from the top-of Ireland, the Rhinns, Loch Ryan, Ailsa Craig, the hills inland, Arran and Kintyre. A visit to the Rhinns really emphasises that the water linked all these lands as one.
Gunnerkeld	Stone Circle	England	Cumbria	Visited	18th Sep 2021	2	3	2	a '2x donut' with a northern 'portal' and inner facade. seems to have been built around a couple of large granite erratics.
Doon Castle (Broch)	Broch or Nuraghe	Scotland	Dumfries and Galloway	Visited	31st Mar 2022	2	5	3	a great location-the broch is on a very steep rock outcrop, and would have been very hard to attack, but also very hard to escape from.
Kirkcudbright Standing Stones	Standing Stones	Scotland	Dumfries and Galloway	Visited	28th Mar 2022	4	4	4	quaint modern stones set in a sloping field. Made me think, maybe the old Bronze Age stones were not that serious either!

Street House Farm	Barrow Cemetery	England	Cleveland	Visited	11th Sep 2021	-1	1	4	as with many such sites it is the excavation drawings that tell the story. It sits in a timescale overlapping with the neolithic saltworks, and 1500 years before the nearby timber 'wossit'
Yockenthwaite	Ring Cairn	England	Yorkshire (North)	Visited	10th Sep 2021	4	5	4	a lovely little kerb cairn/ring. a delightful walk along the Upper Wharfe, with its water-carved limestone.

Tarn Hill Cairn	Ring Cairn	England	Cumbria	Visited	21st Sep 2020	2	4	3	It's worth walking up the Dunnerdale stickles, just to give a feel for what it was like to go up the high places to get stone for axes. A mini Langdale without the dratted tourists.
Swinside	Stone Circle	England	Cumbria	Visited	20th Sep 2020	4	5	4	Distinctive tall pointed northerly and large squared southerly stones. At some parts of the ring, stones are very close or touching, suggesting that originally it was a solid circle. So it is possible not correct to say it is complete and perfect.
