Tinkinswood	Chambered Cairn	Wales	South Glamorgan	Visited	25th Apr 2024	4	3	4	Time for another visit to Tinkinswood burial chamber, where I sit and eat my lunch with lots of birdsong. Since my last time here, there has been a lot of fencing off of the eastern and southern fields, making it impossible to see the other chamber or quarry area. What I remember as a possible avenu...

Tinkinswood	Chambered Cairn	Wales	South Glamorgan	Visited	11th Jul 2004	4	4	4	While visiting Tinkinswood with my Dad in 2004, we could hardly fail to be impressed with the size of the capstone. What a lovely tomb this is. But more intriguing were the other rocks and stones in the vicinity. I knew the layout of the main chamber before I visited, but was surprised to find so ... Read More
St Lythans	Chambered Tomb	Wales	South Glamorgan	Visited	25th Apr 2024	3	3	4	Time for another visit to St Lythams and Tinkinswood. Very nice in the lush springtime
St Lythans	Chambered Tomb	Wales	South Glamorgan	Visited	11th Jul 2004			4
Graig Lwyd Cairns	Cairn	Wales	Conwy	Visited	13th Sep 2023	3	3	2	Last on my itinerary for today are the Graig Lwyd Cairns. There is the one large cairn within the open access land which looks like a cartoon volcano, conical, steep sides and a crater in the top. Viewed with Moelfre and the other mountains behind it, it reminds me very much of the chains of volcano... Read More
Battery Point	Modern Stone Circle etc	England	Somerset	Visited	3rd Mar 2016	4	5	4	A nice stone with many fossilised shells to be seen within it, stands strategically at Battery Point, Portishead, as the Seafarers Memorial Stone, a memorial to seafarers of the west country. The stone monument marks the closest place on a UK coast which large ships pass. The dedication is to the ... Read More
Eastwood Fort, Portishead	Hillfort	England	Somerset	Visited	3rd Mar 2016	2	4	4	Ancient woodland covered limestone hill, now a nature reserve, to the north of Portishead, beside the shipping channel into Portbury and Avonmouth docks, and the river Avon up to Bristol. As such has been an important strategic place since history began. There's a lot of history to the area - the ... Read More
Blaise Castle	Hillfort	England	Gloucestershire	Visited	29th Aug 2011	4	4	4
Burwalls Camp	Promontory Fort / Cliff Castle	England	Somerset	Visited	28th Aug 2011	2	4	5	The Burwalls Camp hillfort is one of three iron age forts here probably guarding a ford crossing of the river Avon at the bottom of the Avon Gorge, below where is now the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Now mostly destroyed, with the western end of the Clifton Bridge and massive houses built all over i... Read More
Stokeleigh Camp	Promontory Fort / Cliff Castle	England	Somerset	Visited	28th Aug 2011	4	4	4	Iron age promontary hillfort on a spur overlooking the Avon Gorge from the high plateau at the western side of the Gorge, now a part of the large Leigh Woods nature reserve. This is one of three iron age forts here probably guarding a ford crossing of the river Avon at the bottom of the Avon Gorge, ... Read More
King's Weston Hill barrow cemetary	Barrow Cemetery	England	Gloucestershire	Visited	29th Aug 2011	2	4	3	Walk several hundred metres west along the hilltop ridge from the Kings Weston Hillfort, past the large circular earthwork, across the roman road and its earthwork bank, and the open grassland of the hilltop now has several bushy clumps dotted around. Some of these clumps hide the remains of several... Read More
King's Weston Hill stockpound	Misc. Earthwork	England	Gloucestershire	Visited	29th Aug 2011	2	3	4	A few hundred metres west along the hilltop ridge from the Kings Weston Hillfort can be seen the remains of a large circular earthwork, of unsure date. People have been living and working on this hilltop ridge since neolithic times, and it is thought that this earthwork is some sort of stockpound ... Read More
King's Weston Hillfort	Hillfort	England	Gloucestershire	Visited	29th Aug 2011	3	3	4	At the northeastern end of the ridge that is Kings Weston Hill, now in the northwestern suburbs of Bristol, is to be found the remains of an iron age hillfort and farmstead. It is situated in parkland, just to the southwest of the more impressive Blaise Castle. The hill and immediately surrounding ... Read More
Cors Y Carneddau	Stone Circle	Wales	Conwy	Visited	13th Sep 2023	3	4	2	I head down to the west and back to the lower track in order to find the Cors Y Carneddau circle. At first I found lots of stones all seemingly scattered around at random, with nothing obvious representing a circle. Some stones are standing proud of the ground over by the wall. But nothing that shou... Read More
Cefn Coch (Penmaenmawr)	Ring Cairn	Wales	Conwy	Visited	13th Sep 2023	3	4	2	Having done my research beforehand, I now know to head up and over the nearby ridge to the south and there is the lovely ring cairn, about 10 to 12 metres diameter. It doesn't stand very proud of the ground, and has quite wide "walls".
Monument 280	Ring Cairn	Wales	Conwy	Visited	13th Sep 2023	3	4	2	Over a couple of mounds, and there is another catchily named site, Monument 280, of which I have no idea what type of site this is. There are many stones stood and arranged, but with no obvious pattern. There is a circle in the middle of them, and several in a straight line through the middle. Is th... Read More
Druids Circle (Penmaenmawr)	Stone Circle	Wales	Conwy	Visited	13th Sep 2023	5	4	2	From circle 275 the stones of the Druids Circle can be seen up on the hill against the skyline. I make straight for it, but this is probably not the best way as it takes me through a little valley with lots of boggy area to get through. The site is positioned on a flattened platform area, with an em... Read More
Circle 275	Stone Circle	Wales	Conwy	Visited	13th Sep 2023	3	4	2	Next up is the snappily named Circle 275, which is to the south of the trackway in the long grass and heather. This is a lovely little circle of five stones with diameter about 3 metres, and in a most gorgeous setting with views out over the sea and up to the hills with the druids circle visible on ... Read More
Fridd Wanc	Round Barrow(s)	Wales	Conwy	Visited	13th Sep 2023	3	3	2	Moving on and the next site just to the north of the trackway is the Fridd Wanc mound, with a telegraph pole standing from its centre. Just to the southeast are several boulders, three obvious large stones, with a couple more not so obvious. Is it the remains of an ancient burial chamber? Or on late... Read More
Maen Crwn	Standing Stone (Menhir)	Wales	Conwy	Visited	13th Sep 2023	3	3	2	A bit further southwest, and now into an open paddock like area below the farm, and this large stone is stood in the open grass below an avenue of trees. It has a scratches T + J on its southern face, along with other graffitti.
Red Farm	Stone Circle	Wales	Conwy	Visited	13th Sep 2023	2	3	2	Walking up from Penmaenmawr, once up on the plateau, the first site I see is the Red Farm stone circle. Its over a wall in a field containing horses, and there are lots of people out looking like they are on an organised shooting event, so I satisfy myself with the view over the wall. Looks like abo... Read More
Fox Covert NW	Chambered Tomb	England	Wiltshire	Visited	9th Sep 2007				A badly damaged overgrown Long Barrow with possible Chambered Tomb in a field, which has been cut in two by a hedge. The eastern part of the barrow in the eastern field has now been completely ploughed out. The part in the western field is now about 30 metres in length, about 20 metres wide and up... Read More
Tormarton 1	Long Barrow	England	Gloucestershire	Visited	30th Sep 2022				Day out walking and stopped for a quick look here on the way home. The field has been harvested, leaving the long raised lump in the ground standing proud. No obviously easy way into the field, so I satisfied myself with a view from the road.
Long Meg And Her Daughters	Stone Circle	England	Cumbria	Visited	20th Sep 2022	4	4	4	Now to walk around the circle. It's huge, much bigger than my memory was telling me and with a little double stoned entrance up near Long Meg. The stones are basically large rounded boulders, like giant pebbles from a riverbed, and its not really accurate to consider them as standing stones. Lots of... Read More
Long Meg	Standing Stone (Menhir)	England	Cumbria	Visited	20th Sep 2022	4	4	4	Before heading east over the Pennines, I have time to go and visit Long Meg. A new car park has been made which is well signposted, which leaves a 500 metre walk to the stone circle. I start my visit with Long Meg itself, as there are a few other people here who go the other way. What a lovely stone... Read More
Penzance Market Cross	Ancient Cross	England	Cornwall	Visited	15th Jun 2023			4	I took a walk round some of the splendid Penzance gardens, and had a proper look at the lovely old market cross, nowadays just outside the café.
St Mary's Cross	Ancient Cross	England	Cornwall	Visited	15th Jun 2023			4	A strange looking stone stump in the churchyard at Penzance. All I could really make out is a couple of carved figures on it, until I realised that the cross arms were broken off.
Giant's Rock, Zennor	Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature	England	Cornwall	Visited	15th Jun 2023			3	Having found myself in the field adjacent to that in which the Giant's Stone is marked, I have a look and can see it over the hedge. However its all very overgrown and I cannot get in to have a proper look
Treveglos, Zennor	Stone Row / Alignment	England	Cornwall	Visited	15th Jun 2023	3	3	3	I found the large gatepost in the corner of the field, but nothing obvious nearby. The fields and walls here are full of large stones, and what is a standing stone, and what is a natural feature is very hard to tell. Not helped by a lot of growth around the field boundaries. I'm certainly not convin... Read More
Zennor Churchyard Crosses	Ancient Cross	England	Cornwall	Visited	15th Jun 2023	3	4	5	After a day at St Ives, I go to Zennor to pay my respects to the Mermaid. Whilst at the church, I have a look at the various ancient crosses in and around the churchyard, and Borlase's grave. How fabulous is that mermaid chair.

St Ives Head Fort	Promontory Fort / Cliff Castle	England	Cornwall	Visited	15th Jun 2023	2	4	4	A day visit to St Ives, which I start with a walk around Clodgy point and then back into St Ives town, making a full walk around the coastline to the harbour, passing over and around all of the fort headland.
Treryn Dinas	Promontory Fort / Cliff Castle	England	Cornwall	Visited	14th Jun 2023	4	5	3	Time is getting on, although not necessarily as much as I thought it was, as things are playing tricks on me and others, with my phone regularly switching hours, presumably picking up its signal from French sources better than there is round here. It not only confuses the time, but screws up the lab... Read More
St Levan's Well	Holy Well or Sacred Spring	England	Cornwall	Visited	14th Jun 2023	3	5	3	After lunch I head back to Porthgwarra for a drink at the café, then on around the cliffs to Porth Chapel, where St Levan's well sits prominently above the beach. This used to be the way down past the chapel, but the path is falling down into the sea, so is no longer the through route. There is a l... Read More
Carn Lês Boel	Promontory Fort / Cliff Castle	England	Cornwall	Saw from a distance	14th Jun 2023				Walk from St Levan along the coast path, through Porthgwarra and out to Gwennap Head. Keep going right round to Carn Barra where I stop for my pasty, overlooking Zawn Kellys to Carn Lês Boel and Lands End. I spend ages watching the flocks of seabirds on the sea, no doubt all above shoals of fish, f... Read More
St Levan's Stone	Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature	England	Cornwall	Visited	14th Jun 2023	4	4	4	At St Levan's church, have a good look around the churchyard, with the split St Levan's stone in pride of place. The split is not wide enough to get a comfortable sit down, let alone to ride a loaded packhorse through, so the world is safe for the while.
Churchyard Cross St Levan	Ancient Cross	England	Cornwall	Visited	14th Jun 2023	4	4	4	Onwards to St Levan's church, and have a good look around the interesting churchyard, with several old crosses and cross heads to be seen here. Dropping down from the fields into St Levan's church, there is a really interesting stone entrance to the churchyard, with a coffin shaped stone surrounded ... Read More
Rospletha cross	Ancient Cross	England	Cornwall	Visited	14th Jun 2023	4	3	3	A day walking and exploring the coast between Porthcurno and Gwennap Head. Park at Porthcurno, and initially head inland then up onto the fields to pass Rospletha cross. It’s a nice thing, but rather overgrown at the moment.
Lanyon Quoit	Portal Tomb	England	Cornwall	Visited	13th Jun 2023	4	4	4	It had been swelteringly hot and sunny all day on the southern coast, but there had been a cool sea mist blowing across all day from the north coast. Despite it being very foggy, I decide on an evening visit Madron Well, and anyway, it all adds to the atmosphere. Leaving Madron well, I drive north ... Read More
Madron Well	Holy Well or Sacred Spring	England	Cornwall	Visited	13th Jun 2023	4	5	4	Despite it being very foggy, I decide I have to visit Madron Well, and anyway, it all adds to the atmosphere. When I get to the watery bit by the path, there is not so much tat hanging in the trees as I was expecting, and most of what there is is either real strips of cloth or floral offerings. Desp... Read More
Wendron North	Stone Circle	England	Cornwall	Visited	13th Jun 2023	2	3	4	Now home, I remember being here before 20 years ago and seeing the two stones in the wall nearer to the house, but I didn't look in the right place this time, but it was rather overgrown. However, at the far side of the northern field is a stone standing proud of the wall. A closer look and it can b... Read More
Wendron South	Stone Circle	England	Cornwall	Visited	13th Jun 2023	3	3	4	Decide on a visit to the Wendron Nine Maidens on the way back to Penzance from Falmouth. Its been swelteringly hot and sunny all day, but just as I was getting up the hill to the site, it was all covered in a mist blowing down from the north. Easily found are 4 evenly spaced stones in the southern f... Read More
Kenidjack Cliff Castle	Promontory Fort / Cliff Castle	England	Cornwall	Visited	10th Jun 2023				Walking back to Botallack after visiting the circle, I make sure I have a look to the headland, with its traces of defensive ramparts.
Kenidjack Cairn Circle	Ring Cairn	England	Cornwall	Visited	10th Jun 2023				Big walk round the Botallack mines area, and despite being very tired when I get back to Botallack, I decide to go further south to have a look for this cairn circle. I'm still not convinced of its authenticity amoungst the mining ruins, but it’s a lovely spot. I get to sit and watch a nest of cho... Read More
Lower Boscaswell Fougou	Souterrain (Fogou, Earth House)	England	Cornwall	Visited	10th Jun 2023	3	4	4	Dropping down from Carn Kenidjack, and after a slight detour to refresh myself at The North Inn, I head towards the coast and look for the Lower Boscaswell Fougou. Not being able to find it initially, I cheat and look it up on the portal. Ah, through the cow field and round the other side, over a st... Read More
Carn Eanes Standing stone	Modern Stone Circle etc	England	Cornwall	Visited	10th Jun 2023				Walking down to Boscaswell from Carn Kenidjack, and pass nearby to this standing stone. It seems to be in private land with no obvious way in, so I satisfy myself with a view over the hedge.
Carn Kenidjack propped stone	Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature	England	Cornwall	Visited	10th Jun 2023				Big walk round the Botallack mines area today, starting off by walking up to the top of Carn Kenidjack. Some lovely cattle grazing up here, who don't seem to mind my presence as I greet them all. I am not convinced of anything other than natural up here. Everything is hazy up here today with a sea m... Read More
Carnbean Barrows	Round Barrow(s)	England	Cornwall	Visited	10th Jun 2023				Big walk round the Botallack mines area today, starting off by walking up to the top of Carn Kenidjack, so have a look at the barrow while I am on the way there. Some lovely cattle grazing up here, who don't seem to mind my presence as I greet them all.
Predannack Cross	Ancient Cross	England	Cornwall	Visited	12th Jun 2023	4	4	4	A walk from Mullion Cove to Predannack and back along the cliffs. This lovely cross is in a corner of a field.
Carneglos settlement	Ancient Village or Settlement	England	Cornwall	Visited	9th Jun 2023	2	3	3	On the way back from another failed attempt to get to Goodaver circle, I decided not to completely give up, and went for a look for the stone row, in an open field to the west of the northern corner of the forest. It's open access land, and easy to enter the field after taking the track westwards fr... Read More
Carneglos row	Stone Row / Alignment	England	Cornwall	Visited	9th Jun 2023	3	3	3	On the way back from another failed attempt to get to Goodaver circle, I decided not to completely give up, and went for a look for the stone row, in an open field to the west of the northern corner of the forest. It's open access land, and easy to enter the field after taking the track westwards fr... Read More
Carneglos Barrow	Ring Cairn	England	Cornwall	Visited	9th Jun 2023		2	3	Somewhere in the dense forest is this barrow. The forest track passes close by, butthere is no easy way in, but I am sure I could glimpse some raised earthworks in places.
Goodaver	Stone Circle	England	Cornwall	Couldn't find	9th Jun 2023				Stop at Webbs Down near Bolventor to try to walk to the Goodaver stone circle through the forests from the north. Its very hot, and about halfway there the forest tracks are all shut off, with barbed wire and CCTV. I look at going over the rough ground to the west of the forest, but it wont be easy.... Read More
Goodaver	Stone Circle	England	Cornwall	Couldn't find	11th Jun 2022				On my way down to Wadebridge today, I didn't have time for the long walk through the forest, but thought I'd try the direct ways from the Bolventor - St Cleer road down the Fowey valley. Both these ways I have seen described. Plan A. up the curvy track at Trezibbet, which is clearly seen from the r... Read More
Diocletian's Palace	Ancient Palace	Croatia		Visited	18th Sep 2004	3	4	5	Have to leave the boat by 9:00. Catch a bus into Split at 09:30 and after some problems finding our way around, get to the old part of town. Stop for a coffee and pastries on the Riva (harbour front) outside the Diocletian Palace walls. Then do a walking tour around old Split, taking in the town squ... Read More

Drive to Housesteads, bus to The Sill, then walk up to the trig point on Winshield Crag before walking back eastwards along Hadrians wall to Housesteads Fort, having lunch at Sycamore Gap.

Drive to Housesteads to park, and before catching the bus to The Sill, have a look at the prominent barrow just the other side of the road. The fog is starting to lift now, thank goodness.

Picws Du	Cairn	Wales	Carmarthenshire	Visited	20th Jul 2017	2	5	2	From Fan Brycheiniog we set off back northwards and then headed off in a westerly direction across the open boggy moorland, which would not have been a good idea in weather any worse, but it was now quite bright and I was able to pick a reasonable route between the bogs and peat hags! Once onto the ... Read More
Fan Brycheiniog	Cairn	Wales	Carmarthenshire	Visited	20th Jul 2017	2	5	2	We carried on to get to the trig point on top of Fan Brycheiniog (802m) before the Germans, so we could take our pictures without them in the way! Once more it looks like there is probably the remains of an ancient cairn below the trig point, which is once again becoming well worn. We then went and ... Read More
Twr-y-Fan Foel cairn	Cairn	Wales	Powys	Visited	20th Jul 2017	2	5	2	Along the ridge to the southeast of Fan Foel, Twr-y-Fan Foel cairn can be seen sitting on its hilltop promontory position. The cairn is again about 11 metres diameter and becoming very eroded by the weather and all the walkers stopping here to admire the spectacular views from its cliff edge positio... Read More
Fan Foel Cairns	Round Cairn	Wales	Carmarthenshire	Visited	20th Jul 2017	2	4	2	Once up on the top of Fan Foel (781m) in the rain and wind, the remains of this large circular cairn are plain to see, no doubt due to the excavation work some years ago. The circular structure of the cairn is 11 meters in diameter, and within this cairn, offset to the steep cliff edge, is the box l... Read More
Rhyd Wen Fach	Stone Circle	Wales	Powys	Visited	20th Jul 2017	1	4	2	Visited while walking round the Carmarthen Fan loop, just at the foot of the hard climb up to Fan Foel. We had ended up not following the expected ridgetop path, but a trail a bit below the top to the southwest, so I had to head over and back downhill a few hundred yards as San slowly ascended the... Read More
Bannau Sir Gaer	Stone Circle	Wales	Carmarthenshire	Visited	20th Jul 2017	2	4	2	Visited while walking round Carmarthen Fan. We started off walking from the little parking area up to Sychnant stone circle, which was found surprisingly easily near a turning point on the walk near the head of the Sychnant stream. It is positioned on a nicely flattened area on the saddle at the t... Read More
Corbridge Crosses	Ancient Cross	England	Northumberland	Visited	26th Sep 2022			5	After a visit to Coria in September 2022, was looking to get a pint in the Pele Tower, but it was unfortunately temporarily closed.
West Cranmore Round Barrows	Barrow Cemetery	England	Somerset	Visited	19th Mar 2023				Seen from the carriage of the East Somerset steam railway near Merryfield Lane halt. Two large round barrows in a field, with fairly distinct ditches around them. There is remains of a third much ploughed out barrow. Looks like badgers are starting to dig away at one of the two large barrows.
Beacon Hill (Oakhill) Barrows	Barrow Cemetery	England	Somerset	Visited	19th Mar 2023			4	Several round barrows can be clearly seen from the roman road in an open field along the ridgetop, with several more to be found in Beacon Hill Woods. I didn't have time to park and go and have a proper look.
Doulting Quarries barrow	Modern Stone Circle etc	England	Somerset	Visited	19th Mar 2023			5	In some open land behind the bus stop at Doulting, opposite to the stone quarries entrance, I saw what looked like a longbarrow with stone entrance. Closer inspection showed this to be a modern interpretation, with a large stone standing on the top.
The Cockpit	Stone Circle	England	Cumbria	Visited	20th Sep 2022	4	4	3	I have been meaning to visit The Cockpit for many many years, and I managed to do so in September 2022. From White Raise I head off towards the Cockpit, down to the major crossing of tracks, and then taking the way to the west, on what is now a largely rebuilt and upraised stone trackway across the ... Read More
White Raise Cairn	Cairn	England	Cumbria	Visited	20th Sep 2022	3	3	3	I eventually get to the White Raise cairn, MD10, a large roundish mass of stones on top of a small natural hillock. Its not very round, with a few sticking out arms, and it is clear why this became known as "The Starfish Cairn". Clambering up onto the top of it, and the previous notable cairns can b... Read More
Roughtor Summit Cairns	Cairn	England	Cornwall	Visited	13th Jun 2022	3	4	3	Remains of cairns created round some natural outcrops within the settlement on the top of Roughtor, near to the memorials.
Seven Lords' Lands	Stone Circle	England	Devon	Visited	7th Sep 2022	4	4	4	On the way back to Haytor, I stop to go and look at Seven Lords' Lands cairn with its large encircling ring of stones. Its really splendid here in the low sun, which occasionally peeps through the clouds. Now to the Rock Inn after a tiring day on the big moor, I sat quietly nursing a pint in the snu... Read More
Trendlebere Down	Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue	England	Devon	Visited	7th Sep 2022	3	3	4	Getting from the road to find this row is a bit of a struggle through gorse and heather, and I initially found it hard to find. But there it is, not quite where I was expecting to find it, but as so often with a path running down beside it, and it has had much of the growth mechanically cleared from... Read More
Trendlebere Down Stone Row Cairn	Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	7th Sep 2022	3	3	4	The large cairn at the top of the stone row is completely overgrown, as is the top of the row, but I found a few fairly large fallen stones hidden underneath the overgrowth.
Harbourne Head Standing Stone	Standing Stone (Menhir)	England	Devon	Visited	24th Feb 2023	4	4	3	A cold grey February afternoon walk out onto the moor to visit the Harbourne Head menhir. It’s a nice pointy topped stone, slightly taller than me and leaning to one side. Some swaling going on nearby, but not close to the stone and doesn't prevent me getting a visit.
Hembury Castle	Hillfort	England	Devon	Visited	26th Feb 2023	4	4	4	A nice sunny afternoon, after Sunday lunch at Scorriton and a walk out to Bench Tor, I decide to go and have a look at Hembury Castle before heading home.

Harbourne Head B	Ring Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	24th Feb 2023	3	4	3	From the menhir I walk up to the top of the hill to look at the two ring cairns. Both quite large diameter, seemingly a ring of stone around a flat inside with a pile in the middle. The southern of the two is more distinct, and the central mound and ring are more obviously comprised of stones. I did... Read More
Harbourne Head A	Ring Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	24th Feb 2023	3	4	3	From the menhir I walk up to the top of the hill to look at the two ring cairns. Both quite large diameter, seemingly a ring of stone around a flat inside with a pile in the middle. The northern of the two is less distinct and more grassy. I didn't see anything resembling a circle of upright stones!
Corringdon Ball Tomb	Chambered Tomb	England	Devon	Visited	25th Feb 2023	3	3	3	Walk from South Brent up onto the moor around Corringdon Ball. Just as we get to the longbarrow and other megalithic sites my phone malfunctions and packs up. Getting very fed up with this decide to give up looking for any more old stones and just continue on with the walk up to Shipley Bridge.
Corringdon Ball Tomb	Chambered Tomb	England	Devon	Visited	20th Jun 2004	3	3	3	The remains of Corringdon Ball chambered tomb are marked on the map as Long Barrow, and it is situated on the saddle of land between Corringdon Ball and Brent Fore Hill, not far from the cairn at the head of the Brent Fore row. This was once one of the largest monuments on the moor, but has been bad... Read More
Ball Gate	Ring Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	25th Feb 2023	2	3	3	Walk from South Brent up onto the moor around Corringdon Ball. Just to the north of the large gateway is a clearly defined ring cairn.
Corringdon Ball settlement	Ancient Village or Settlement	England	Devon	Visited	25th Feb 2023	4	4	3	Walk from South Brent up onto the moor and around Corringdon Ball. On the western side of the hill there is a clearly defined settlement comprising several enclosures. There are also many hut circles spread around on the hillside here, along with a cairn with cist.
Moor Divock Round Cairn D	Cairn	England	Cumbria	Visited	20th Sep 2022	2	3	3	Nearby to the north of Moor Divock 5 is another raised mound which initially looks to be another cairn, which the sheep like to sit on. When I do get to have a closer look, there seems to be possibly a cairn, but with no further info I am not 100% convinced this is anything other than a natural lump... Read More
Challacombe Down Standing Stone	Standing Stone (Menhir)	England	Devon	Visited	3rd May 2022	4	4	3	Park in a little quarry by the roadside, before heading west down to Headland Warren farm with its alpacas, then up over the mining remains to the lower end of the Challacombe stone rows. Most of the stones are showing white above the heather and it looks splendid. The bottom end is a bit of a jumbl... Read More
Thornborough N	Henge	England	Yorkshire (North)	Visited	27th Sep 2022	5	4	4	Back to the car for the small drive round to the woodland at the western side of the northern henge, and there was room to park, and then follow one of several paths into the woodland. This northern henge is much more like it, very well preserved, both the banks and internal ditch. The atmosphere in... Read More
Thornborough Central	Henge	England	Yorkshire (North)	Visited	27th Sep 2022	3	3	4	Crossing back across the roadway, I go in for a look and walk around the central henge. This banks of this one are more substantial, but in places are very damaged by badgers or rabbits. The internal ditch is again slight, but can be made out here. I walked north to try to get to the northern henge,... Read More
Thornborough S	Henge	England	Yorkshire (North)	Visited	27th Sep 2022	3	3	4	Travelling home from Northumberland, and the weather forecast was good, so I decided to go the eastern route and break my journey to have a look at the Thornborough Henges. After a drive around several small roads, I found a place to park with access to the fields between the southern and central he... Read More
Challacombe rows	Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue	England	Devon	Visited	3rd May 2022	4	4	3	Drive from Postbridge to Challacombe via the Soussons cairn stone circle, and park in a little quarry by the roadside, before heading west down to Headland Warren farm with its alpacas, then up over the mining remains to the lower end of the Challacombe stone rows. Most of the stones are showing whi... Read More
Challacombe Down Cairn Circle	Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	3rd May 2022	2	4	3	At the bottom end of the Challacombe stone rows, most of the stones are showing white amongst the heather. It is all a bit of a jumble, no doubt many of the stones moved during the extensive mining here, several of which seem to have been placed in surprising positions, with a sort of semicircular f...

Ten Commandments Stone	Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature	England	Devon	Visited	7th Dec 2022		5	3	A day to myself, and decide to go to Totnes, but first go the scenic way through Buckland, then decide to walk out to Buckland Beacon for a look at the Ten Commandments stones. The views from here are fantastic, right down to the sea all around the south, including right along the Teign estuary. Gre... Read More
Hamel Down Cross	Ancient Cross	England	Devon	Visited	6th Dec 2022	3	4	3	Walking back northwards along the ridge and from the top of Broad Barrow, Hamel Down Cross can be seen shining in the sun away from the modern track to the west, so I go for a look. It’s a lovely weathered old stone cross which has lost its head and one of its arms. It has some sort of carving on ... Read More
Zennor Quoit	Portal Tomb	England	Cornwall	Visited	27th Sep 2008	4	4	3	I don’t quite know how I have never been to visit this before, and it takes a bit of finding, despite the fact it can be seen from a long way away on the hilltop, the problem is finding a path through the chest high gorse and brambles which takes you to it. I eventually got to it from Sperris Quoi... Read More
Sperris Quoit	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	England	Cornwall	Visited	27th Sep 2008	2	3	3	I parked in a little lay-by near to the Eagles Nest house, and then took the footpath up onto the moors from there. After a while the path was fairly enclosed within tall bracken and gorse, and near the top of the hill, became fairly difficult to proceed along. Once at the top of the hill, I turned ... Read More
Hamel Down Beacon cairn	Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	6th Dec 2022	3	4	3	On to the southern top of Hameldown at 517m, at a corner of the field wall, is another prominent large cairn, again with a Duke Stone on its top. The field wall makes no attempt to avoid the cairn, running right over it, but not across the centre. From here the views to the south open up with almost... Read More
Blackaton Down south (Hamel Down)	Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	6th Dec 2022	2	4	3	Just to the south of the large obvious barrow can be seen the remnants of the southern saucer barrow, also within the enclosed field.
Blackaton Down north (Hamel Down)	Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	6th Dec 2022	3	4	3	From the field wall corner can be seen the next large barrow, a bit further to the south, but within the enclosed field on the western side of the wall. I didn’t cross into the field for a closer look.
Two Barrows (Hamel Down)	Round Barrow(s)	England	Devon	Visited	6th Dec 2022	3	4	3	Onwards southward slightly downhill to a field wall where there is another barrow with a Duke Stone on top, named as Two Barrows. Looking for the second, and it can be seen right under the corner of the walls, no doubt it has been used as a boundary corner for a long time.
Single Barrow (Hamel Down)	Round Barrow(s)	England	Devon	Visited	6th Dec 2022	3	4	3	Further south along the track, and just to the west of it is the next barrow, known as Single Barrow, which is smaller and less obvious than Broad Barrow. It too has one of the Duke Stone boundary markers on top of it.
Broad Barrow (Hamel Down)	Round Barrow(s)	England	Devon	Visited	6th Dec 2022	3	4	3	Walking on to the south, there is an obvious large cairn know as Broad Barrow atop the highest point of the down at 532m. This is one of the largest cairns on Dartmoor, but mostly an earthen construction, unlike many of the others. In its southern edge is an excavated stone structure, whether the re... Read More
Grimspound	Ancient Village or Settlement	England	Devon	Visited	6th Dec 2022	4	4	3	I've not been to Grimspound for many a year now, in fact too long. It really is wonderful, with a multiplicity of circular hut buildings within a huge encircling wall. A lovely place to sit and eat my lunch in one of the huts, with the Challacombe stone rows visible on the hillside the other side of... Read More
Hamel Down Platform Cairn (North)	Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	6th Dec 2022	2	4	3	Climb up to the top of Hamel Down for a walk along the ridge, with splendid views down onto Grimspound from the slopes. Once at the top there is a large cairn and trig point. It looks to me as though the current pile of stones is a relatively modern construction, but there seems to be a large circul... Read More
Money Pit cairn	Stone Circle	England	Devon	Visited	3rd Dec 2022	3	3	4	Passing by the Money Pit cairn, had to go for a quick look. I also had a quick look for the southern, top, end of the treble stone row, but didn't follow it down the hill, as we were walking the other direction.
Cator Common Platform Cairn and Cist	Cairn	England	Devon	Couldn't find	6th Dec 2022				Driving back to the cottage from Postbridge, thought I'd have a quick look for the remains of this cairn circle and cist, although I didn't have any details with me and no phone signal. It's not very accurately marked on the OS map I had with me, but I had a walk alonside the river in the boggy grou... Read More
Rippon Tor	Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	9th Dec 2022	4	4	3	The forecast is for a cold icy but bright sunny day as we pack up and leave Splash Cottage, so I decide for a walk up to Rippon Tor and around before the journey home. Unfortunately the real weather up there means I am in the clouds and fog. I make the effort to climb the tor, but its freezing fog u... Read More
Bowerman's Nose	Rock Outcrop	England	Devon	Visited	5th Dec 2022	5	4	3	Walk up and over the hilltop, then go and have a proper look at Bowerman's Nose, a really fabulous rock outcrop, said to represent the giant hunter turned to stone by a coven of witches. Lots of photo opportunities here!
Hound Tor Deserted Medieval Village	Ancient Village or Settlement	England	Devon	Visited	5th Dec 2022	4	4	3	Walk from Hound Tor over the top and down to the deserted medieval village in a dip on the eastern side of the Tor. This started in the bronze age, but the remains to be seen these days are from the medieval period. The remains include several longhouses and other buildings which are really fascinat... Read More
Corndon Down Cairns	Barrow Cemetery	England	Devon	Visited	3rd Dec 2022	3	4	3	Walk from Ponsworthy up and over Corndon Hill, taking in the money pit, Sharp Tor and Dr Blackall's ride, stopping for lunch at the Tavistock Inn. At the top of the main, southern summit, is a granite tor surrounded by masses of cairn material. About 50 metres to the north is another large cairn, wh... Read More
Corndon Down N Cairns	Barrow Cemetery	England	Devon	Visited	3rd Dec 2022	3	4	3	Walk from Ponsworthy up and over Corndon Hill, taking in the money pit, Sharp Tor and Dr Blackall's ride, stopping for lunch at the Tavistock Inn.

Moor Divock 6, 7 and 8	Cairn	England	Cumbria	Couldn't find	20th Sep 2022				Now much later than my explorations, I am looking at an old antiquarian article, "The Prehistoric Remains on Moordivock, near Ullswater. — By M. WAISTELL TAYLOR". I see that in approximately where the shake hole and gulley was, there are marked cairn circles MD6, MD7 and MD8. These are nowhere nea... Read More
Askham Fell Stone Row	Stone Row / Alignment	England	Cumbria	Visited	20th Sep 2022	3	3	3	From Moor Divock 5, I walk off to the northwest towards White Raise cairn, which can clearly be seen. Much of the bracken has been cut back, and it seems a reasonable way to go. I start to see lots of stones poking their pale tops clear of the grass. Am I imagining it, or is this some sort of stone ... Read More
Moor Divock 5	Cairn	England	Cumbria	Visited	20th Sep 2022	3	3	3	I walked further along the main trackway, before taking a small path out towards the obvious cairn of Moor Divock 5. It is an obvious large round cairn with three large stones in a sort of row sticking out across the top and many others laying around, presumably once making up a ring around a hollow... Read More
Moor Divock 4 to 5 Stone Avenue	Stone Row / Alignment	England	Cumbria	Couldn't find	20th Sep 2022				Having walked back to the main trackway, I headed along it in a northwesterly direction, before taking a small path out towards the obvious cairn of MD5. As a result, I didn't see anything of the MD4-5 avenue, as I didn't know it was here to look for, and wouldn't have been in the right place by fat... Read More
Moor Divock carved stone	Rock Art	England	Cumbria	Visited	20th Sep 2022				Having got the portal details of this I had a good look in a couple of places where I found two cairn/shooting butt structures in a sort of wall. The best I found was a stone with several holes in it, which I didn't think were anything other than natural or perhaps quarrying marks. But I probably di... Read More
Moor Divock 3	Cairn	England	Cumbria	Visited	20th Sep 2022	2	3	3	From MD4 I head back to the main trackway, where my attention is drawn to a couple of large stones laying just off the trackway to the right. I wonder if this was once a cairn with a few kerbstones. I look at the portal again, and see a cup marked stone somewhere around here, and wonder if it is tha... Read More
Moor Divock 4	Stone Circle	England	Cumbria	Visited	20th Sep 2022	4	4	3	From the MD2 stones, there is a path out to the clearly seen standing stones of Moor Divock 4, marked as Cairn Circle on the OS map. This consists of a round cairn of stones, surmounted by a ring of about 10 large stones standing proudly on top. It’s a lovely little thing, and from it can be quite... Read More
Askham Fell Cairn Stone Row	Stone Row / Alignment	England	Cumbria	Visited	20th Sep 2022	2	3	3	I notice online that a little avenue is declared to the south of MD4, so I have a good look around. I see perhaps a couple of stones, and maybe a set of 4 in a square arrangement, but nothing which shouts out to me that here is a stone row.
Moor Divock 2	Standing Stones	England	Cumbria	Visited	20th Sep 2022	3	3	3	From the Cop Stone, I head off along the trackway until I see the stones of the little cairn circle Moor Divock 4 off in the distance, so then head off along a smaller path towards that. There are a couple of large stones standing proud of the ground which I go to look at, and it seems they are clea... Read More
Cop Stone	Standing Stone (Menhir)	England	Cumbria	Visited	20th Sep 2022	3	4	4	It’s a simple drive from Mayburgh up through Askham, then on to Helton and up onto the moorland plateau, with plenty of parking beside the road near to the Cop Stone. Boots on, map in pocket, water, sandwiches, camera and raincoat in bag, tracker set, then its off for my exploration of the Moor Di... Read More
King Arthur's Round Table	Henge	England	Cumbria	Visited	20th Sep 2022	3	2	5	From Mayburgh I walk to King Arthur's Round Table, and then pop into its field for a walk around the outside. Much smaller, and more henge like than the nearby Mayburgh, this has the ditch well inside the outer bank. Unfortunately, being so close to the busy roads, it suffers a fair bit in the ambie...

Mayburgh	Henge	England	Cumbria	Visited	20th Sep 2022	4	4	4	After a fabulous breakfast its time to start my day. Once I have found my way out of Penrith, cross the river and turn right at Eaumont Bridge, right by King Arthur's Round Table henge. Right again before the motorway near a large millennium stone, and theres a parking area. Short walk to Mayburgh H... Read More
Oddendale	Stone Circle	England	Cumbria	Visited	19th Sep 2022	4	5	3	I now walk south along the trackway past the rough limestone pavement before heading out southwesterly across the open land to find the Oddendale circles. Quite hard to see at first, then they come into view, the stones hiding amongst the long grass. Upon closer inspection it is a really fabulous si... Read More
Giants Grave, Penrith	Ancient Cross	England	Cumbria	Visited	19th Sep 2022	3	3	4	An evening in Penrith, and despite thinking I knew something like hogback stones were here, I missed seeing the Giant's Grave in the dark with the churchyard gates closed. But I did see the Giant's Thumb carved cross and take a picture of it from the nearby path.
Kalmott cairn circle	Ring Cairn	England	Cumbria	Visited	19th Sep 2022	3	4	4	Continue south to Oddendale, where plenty of parking is available on the open moor. Walking south, and below the trees beside the wall just past the farm entrance is found a small circle of stones with a central cist structure. A lovely little monument, and makes me wonder how many more of these the... Read More
Iron Hill South	Stone Circle	England	Cumbria	Visited	19th Sep 2022	3	4	4	Just to the south of the hilltop barrow can be seen a small circle of large boulders, with a few more in the centre which may once have formed a cist.
Iron Hill North	Stone Circle	England	Cumbria	Visited	19th Sep 2022	3	4	4	Continuing on south and I park near the large flooded quarry, from where it’s a short walk uphill to the east to the top of Iron Hill. The northerly circle is a ring of stones surrounding a large round tumulus which is bisected by the field wall which runs right over the top of it. On the southern... Read More
Castlehowe Scar Stone Row	Stone Row / Alignment	England	Cumbria	Visited	19th Sep 2022	2	3	4	Just to the west of the stone circle is what appears to be another rubble cairn surrounded by low boulders, with what seems to be a row or avenue of stones running south down a little valley across the open land.
Castlehowe Scar Stone Circle	Stone Circle	England	Cumbria	Visited	19th Sep 2022	3	3	5	Onwards to Castlehowe Scar Stone Circle, my first new circle of the day. Easy parking beside the small lane running south, and its easy to see the circle just in the next field, but no entrance available today. It’s a small scruffy circle of large boulders, close to the field wall and with a cattl... Read More
Thunder Stone (Castlehowe Scar)	Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature	England	Cumbria	Visited	19th Sep 2022	3	3	5	Head out to the east of Shap, and the first stop is another Thunder Stone, this one an erratic perched just above a small old quarry, looming large on the skyline when approaching from the west.
Thunder Stone (Shap)	Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature	England	Cumbria	Visited	19th Sep 2022	2	2	4	At the northwest end of the avenue is the large Thunder Stone, a view of which can be had across the field near the farm.
Keld Lane Stones	Standing Stone (Menhir)	England	Cumbria	Visited	19th Sep 2022	3	3	4	Back to the car, and this stone can be seen in front of the wall on the skyline to the northwest, beyond the first few fields. I decide I can go and get a closer look at it by driving up to the north and then walking down the little lane. There are two stones in the field by the wall here, the large... Read More
Aspers Field	Standing Stone (Menhir)	England	Cumbria	Visited	19th Sep 2022	3	3	4	In the field between the lane and the Goggleby Stone can be seen a large leaning stone nearby the wall. Can get a good view of this stone from both sides
Goggleby Stone	Standing Stone (Menhir)	England	Cumbria	Visited	19th Sep 2022	4	3	4	i drive through Shap and up the lanes to the northwest, finding somewhere to park, then just a little walk to the Goggleby Stone. Slightly disappointed to find it not so large as I had been thinking, and also very crudely concreted into the ground.
The Giant's Foot (Cumbria)	Standing Stone (Menhir)	England	Cumbria	Visited	19th Sep 2022	3	3	4	After a pint at the Kings arms I decide I have enough time to have a look for many of the Shap stones. First off is the Giant's Foot, which is just across a field behind the house at the back of the pub. It’s a large flat stone.
Kemp Howe	Stone Circle	England	Cumbria	Visited	19th Sep 2022	2	2	4	Driving up to Penrith on the day of the Queen's funeral, the M5 and M6 nicely free of traffic, I turn off at Shap for a look at some of the Shap Avenue stones. A quick look at Kemp Howe stone circle, but the field is closed off with livestock inside, so I satisfy myself with a look over the gate.

St Nicholas (West Tanfield)	Ancient Cross	England	Yorkshire (North)	Visited	27th Sep 2022	3	3	4	After visiting the Thornborough Henges on my way back from Northumberland, I call in to the Bull Inn at West Tanfield for a pint, and notice that there is something marked at the local church. A very interesting old place with pele tower outside; I cannot look inside the church as there is building ... Read More
Tottiford Reservoir Row S	Stone Row / Alignment	England	Devon	Visited	7th Sep 2022	3	4	2	With the drought of 2022 now exposing the stone circle in Tottiford reservoir, I went down for an exploration.

Tottiford Reservoir mound	Ancient Village or Settlement	England	Devon	Visited	7th Sep 2022		4	2	In the southern part of the reservoir, is an obvious large mound, which is all sandy rather than dark mud covered.

Tottiford Reservoir cairns	Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	7th Sep 2022	2	4	2	To the east of the mound, between it and the eastern shore, can be seen several round piles of stones, which may be ancient cairns, but I am not too convinced, as they look neither big enough, and seem strangely spaced and positioned in what would have been a wet position. There seemes to be a fairl... Read More

Bolatherick	Standing Stone (Menhir)	England	Cornwall	Visited	18th Jun 2022	3	3	5	Despite looking for this and not being able to find it the other year due to a wrong grid ref given, this stone is very easy to find, and I must have seen it many times. Not a large stone, it is engraved on one side with Newmans Corner.
Carn Euny Fogou	Souterrain (Fogou, Earth House)	England	Cornwall	Visited	14th Jun 2022	5	4	4	I move on to Carn Euny village with its fantastic fogou, which has now had the round chamber covered, really magical. The remains of the village courtyard houses do not match up to the wonders of Chysauster, but this is more than made up for by the magic of the fogou.

It is looking really magnificent in the sun, with all the wildflowers and I have it all to myself. Walking back to the car later there was a minibus full of people coming to visit, so that was timed just right.
Boscawen Un	Stone Circle	England	Cornwall	Visited	27th Sep 2012	5	5	4	Took Dad here, and made sure he knew it is one of my favourite places. Dad thought it was great too. Low sun, shining on the stones, sparkling on the quartz, just terriffic. I love it here. So beautiful and quiet and calm. Just perfect.
Boscawen Un	Stone Circle	England	Cornwall	Visited	28th Sep 2008	5	5	3	The easiest way to find this circle is to park in a small pull in beside the A30 just to the east of the stream crossing at Lower Leha farm, at SW410277.

Shortwood Barrows	Round Barrow(s)	England	Gloucestershire	Visited	27th Aug 2021	3	3	4	Cotswold Way loop walk, filling in the bit between Stonehouse and Standish woods.

Conies Down	Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue	England	Devon	Visited	20th Sep 2021	2	4	2	Day down to Dartmoor for a pilgrimmage to Beardown Man. From Maiden Hill, I now head south to look for the stone row I have dim memories of from the 1988 Lich Way moorland crossing, and as I approach down the hillside, there is a large herd of cattle, some looking at me menacingly with their horns, ...

Conies Down	Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue	England	Devon	Visited	3rd Apr 1988	3	4	2	Visited while on walk across Dartmoor on the Lich Way. Being new to Dartmoor Stone Rows, and not knowing how small the stones could be, I thought it to be very overgrown and insignificant. Knowing what I do now, its possibly quite a significant row!
Maiden Hill	Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	20th Sep 2021	2	4	2	Day down to Dartmoor for a pilgrimmage to Beardown Man. From Devils Tor, looking to head on to Conies Down there seems two choices, either down and up the steep and deep Cowsic valley, or a longer route round the head of the valley further north, which I decide to take. The path is fairly good, and ... Read More
Beardown Man	Standing Stone (Menhir)	England	Devon	Visited	20th Sep 2021	4	5	2	Day down to Dartmoor for a pilgrimmage to Beardown Man. Now at Rough Tor I have now learned (remembered) that when walking on the open moor, any sort of path in roughly the right direction is easier than trying to cross the untamed and boggy moor, so standing on the top of the tor taking in the magn...

Crow Tor	Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	20th Sep 2021	4	4	2	Day down to Dartmoor for a pilgrimmage to Beardown Man.

Beardown Cairn and Cist	Cist	England	Devon	Visited	20th Sep 2021	2	3	2	Beautiful sunny day forecast, and the Army firing range not in use today, so head down to Dartmoor for a pilgrimmage to Beardown Man.

Walked right by Beardown Cairn and Cist, on the heights between the Cowsic and West Dart rivers. My friend Antony tries out the cist for size. It certainly was the start of a funny event. It was very damp down the bottom of the ci... Read More
Kiftsgate Stone	Holed Stone	England	Gloucestershire	Visited	6th Sep 2021	2	3	5	Cotswold Way walk from Chipping Campden to Broadway, making sure to have a look at the Kiftsgate Stone, which was well hidden amongst undergrowth, despite being just to the side of the road.

Starveall	Chambered Tomb	England	Gloucestershire	Visited	7th Aug 2015	2	3	4	I revisited this barrow August 2015 to see what sort of state it is now in. What a disappointment and disgrace. The poor thinghas been shorn of all growth on it and looks to be much smaller than the pictures of 4clydesdale7 from 2011. It's no doubt slowly (or rapidly on a longbarrow lifespan timesca...

Starveall	Chambered Tomb	England	Gloucestershire	Visited	8th Mar 2009	3	3	5	Looking in much better condition than in the past, the surrounding field is still pasture, and has a new fence around it.

Starveall	Chambered Tomb	England	Gloucestershire	Visited	26th Mar 2006				I revisited this barrow March 2006. The field it is in has now been fenced, and a gate with parking area situated near to the barrow. The field is no longer ploughed, and looks to be made ready for livestock. The rubbish which was piled on top of the barrow has been cleared and it all looks nicely t... Read More
Starveall	Chambered Tomb	England	Gloucestershire	Visited	28th Mar 2004	2	2	4	I visited this barrow this afternoon. Its getting in a very poor state. The ploughed field surrounding it is eating away at the mound. The most recent ploughing must have taken a couple of feet from each end, with all the stones which formerly made up the mound being scattered across the field. And ... Read More
Starveall	Chambered Tomb	England	Gloucestershire	Visited	8th Jun 2021	3	3	4	I revisited this barrow June 2021 to see what sort of state it is now in. All shorn of the trees a decade ago, all we have now is an elongated mound in the field, but it is at least fenced off for protection.
Crickley Hill	Hillfort	England	Gloucestershire	Visited	8th Jun 2021	3	4	4	Walking the Cotswold Way north around Crickley Hill, and the first thing seen is a large bank across the headland.

Crippet's Barrow	Chambered Tomb	England	Gloucestershire	Visited	8th Jun 2021	3	3	3	Walking the Cotswold Way north from Crickley Hill, and I forgot to keep a look out for Crippet's Long Barrow, but at this point the footpath and separate bridleway are well fenced in, so I wouldn't have been able to get to the edge of the woodlands at the top of the hill to have a look anyway. I lat... Read More
West Tump	Long Barrow	England	Gloucestershire	Visited	31st May 2021	3	4	4	Walking a Cooper's Hill Circuit of the Cotswold Way from Cranham, and on the way back to Cranham I made a diversion into the woods to find this long barrow.

Cranham Corner Earthworks	Misc. Earthwork	England	Gloucestershire	Visited	31st May 2021	3	3	4	Walking a Cooper's Hill Circuit of the Cotswold Way from Cranham, and first off had a look at these small earthworks. I am not convinced they would have been of much use defensively, being on a slight slope not at the top of the hill, and not very large.
Brackenbury Ditches	Promontory Fort / Cliff Castle	England	Gloucestershire	Visited	24th Apr 2021	3	5	3	Beautiful sunny morning walk from Wotton-under-Edge, up and over to Waterley Bottom down the valley to join the Cotswold Way and head up through North Nibley and up the steep Cotswold Edge to the Tyndale Monument. Then all along the edge of the hills, through beautiful bluebell, wild garlic and anem... Read More
Bellever Tor 3	Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	18th Sep 2020	2	3	3	A long and difficult walk through long grass on very uneven ground to try and find this marked on the map as "Cist", which I only found using the gps. I found a single standing stone which I thought must be it, but then while taking photos I almost fell into the cist nearby!

Pierre Levée de Boisy	Standing Stone (Menhir)	France	Centre:Indre (36)	Couldn't find	27th Sep 2005				The village of Bagneux has a signposted footpath of length 5.5 km which takes in three megalithic sites. One of these sites is this menhir. I didn't have time to do the full walk, and without a detailed map, and no obvious signs to the menhir, I didn't really know where to look. I have since found t...

Tréfoux deux menhirs	Standing Stones	France	Centre:Indre (36)	Visited	27th Sep 2005	3	4	4	Marked on my ign map to the southeast of Bagneux are menhirs.

La Pierre Levée (Graçay)	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Centre:Cher (18)	Saw from a distance	27th Sep 2005				Just to the south of the D.68 road between Graçay and Nohant-en-Graçay, near to the hamlet of Les Villaines can be seen the remains of this dolmen, about 100 metres from the road in a field.

Liniez Tumulus elliptique	Chambered Tomb	France	Centre:Indre (36)	Saw from a distance	27th Sep 2005				Just outside the village of Liniez, along the D.926 road towards Vatan, and to the left of the road about a kilometre beyond the dolmen is the remains of a large tumulus.

La Pierre cromlech	Stone Circle	France	Centre:Indre (36)	Couldn't find	27th Sep 2005				While at the La Pierre dolmen, I could find no signs of any cromlech. Perhaps the form of the sideslabs of the dolmen was enough for this to once be thought of as a cromlech ?	205	262
La Pierre Dolmen	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Centre:Indre (36)	Visited	27th Sep 2005	3	4	4	It was a bit of a struggle to find this, due to several of the roads being closed for some reason. However, take the D.23 road southwest from Moulins-sur-Céphons towards St Martin-de-Lamps. About midway between the two is the hamlet of La Pierre, and there are signs to the dolmen.

Menhir de la Croix-Grosse	Standing Stone (Menhir)	France	Auvergne:Cantal (15)	Visited	26th Sep 2005	5	4	5	This christianised menhir stands just on the western outskirts of the village of Sériers, and is signposted from there as Menhir Christianisée, and is along the road to Peyrelade (no doubt once home to its own megalith).

Pierre Levée dolmen 2 (Villedieu)	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Auvergne:Cantal (15)	Visited	26th Sep 2005	2	4	3	Unfortunately, this cannot be reached from its near neighbours, and instead it has to be walked to quite a distance (about 1 km) from a point where you start the walk to the Tombe du Capitaine.

A clear embankment and "wall" remains at the western side of the flattened area between the various rock outcrops. Remains of a hut circle can be s... Read More
Yar Tor Summit	Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	11th Apr 2019	3	4	3	Such a lovely day, I decided to go up to the top of Yar Tor to take in the views, despite my legs aching a bit by now. The top of the southern part of the tor has a clear ancient cairn built on top, but this has been made into a spiral shape, I believe during wartime when it was used as a lookout sh... Read More
Yar Tor NW	Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue	England	Devon	Visited	11th Apr 2019	3	3	3	The Yar Tor triple stone row is much clearer to see than I remember it being decades ago, when I can barely remember finding much at all. This has been helped by a lot of clearance of gorse etc. I followed the ruined triple row downhill to the north, and was pretty sure I could make out remnants of ... Read More
Yar Tor SE	Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue	England	Devon	Visited	11th Apr 2019	2	3	3	The Yar Tor triple stone row is much clearer to see than I remember it being decades ago, when I can barely remember finding much at all. Almost certainly what has become known as the Yar Tor SE rows is a section of the main triple row which has become separated from the main part of the rows. Loo... Read More
Money Pit cairn	Stone Circle	England	Devon	Visited	11th Apr 2019	3	3	4	Looking lovely in the late afternoon sun
Dunnabridge Pound	Ancient Village or Settlement	England	Devon	Visited	11th Apr 2019	4	3	5	The Judges Chair in deep shadow, so no good for photos, but a nice little sit down
Down Ridge Outlier	Standing Stone (Menhir)	England	Devon	Visited	11th Apr 2019	3	4	3	About 100 metres away to the southeast from the stone circle is a small standing stone, just under a metre tall.
Down Ridge	Stone Circle	England	Devon	Visited	11th Apr 2019	3	4	3	I am not really sure what to make of this, the remains of which are on sloping ground on the northeastern flank of Down Ridge above Hexworthy, just above the enclosed areas below. There is not a huge amount left, and much of that is at the uphill side, large slabs set on their long sides, several of... Read More
Joan Ford Newtake row	Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue	England	Devon	Visited	11th Apr 2019	3	3	2	Three slabs stand in a row on the slopes to the northwest of the Swincombe waterworks lake. This is an uncertain site, and it is not like any other prehistoric stone row on Dartmoor. I wondered whether it was part of some ancient settlement or industrial works, of which there are many in this area.... Read More
Joan Ford Newtake E	Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	11th Apr 2019	3	4	2	From here it was unclear whether I should procede along the northern wall on the inside, or the outside in order to find the Joan Ford Newtake E cairn and cist. I went down the outside, and found the remains of the cairn after about a hundred yards, but on the inside of the wall. I got a boot full o... Read More
Joan Ford Newtake W	Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	11th Apr 2019	2	3	2	Having decided to walk further than the short loop, and to visit the Joan Forn Newtake and cross at the Swincome waterworks, I proceeded out across the moor in a west and southwest direction. Leaving the hardened trackway, I headed up to the hilltop on the way to the enclosure, and noted what were p... Read More
Sherberton circle	Stone Circle	England	Devon	Visited	11th Apr 2019	3	3	3
Sherberton Row	Stone Row / Alignment	England	Devon	Visited	11th Apr 2019	2	3	3	Very little remains of this stone row, just to the north of the Sherberton stone circle. A few little stumps of stone can be found, but not enough to determine either end, or even whether it is a single or double row. I counted 11 stones. WP61 at north end.
Bowerman's Nose	Rock Outcrop	England	Devon	Saw from a distance	26th Feb 2019		5	4	Drive down from Hound Tor passing Bowerman's Nose, but the sun has now gone, so decide not to go out to the fabulous looking rock column. One for another time. The drive down this little road is splendid, part of it being gated (I'd forgotten the joys of gated roads!), part through a stream bed , so... Read More
Hound Tor Ring Cairn	Ring Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	26th Feb 2019	4	5	4	From the top of Hound Tor, I make my way south to look for the cairn and cist, but it is easy to find with obvious pathways leading to it. It is a splendid thing, about two thirds of a circle of contiguous surrounding stones with remains of a large cist box in the centre. I sit here for a fair while... Read More
Hound Tor Enclosure	Causewayed Enclosure	England	Devon	Visited	26th Feb 2019	1	4	4	Being such a beautiful day, I walk up to the top of Hound Tor before the sun goes down. Beautiful up here in the low sunlight. With views all around. I even climb up to the top of the bare granite rock tor, grazing my fingers on the rough stone in the process. I am a bit wary of being up here alone,... Read More
Cranbrook Castle	Hillfort	England	Devon	Saw from a distance	26th Feb 2019				Cranbrook Castle hillfort can be seen to the northwest of Butterdon Down. I decide that with it only being February, and with it getting dark by 5:00pm, I will not visit, but go for a pint in the Union Inn at Moretomhampstead before heading out to Houndtor.
Butterdon Down Cairns	Barrow Cemetery	England	Devon	Visited	4th Mar 2019	2	4	3	Being such a beautiful day, I walk up to the top of Butterdon Hill, much of which is covered in Gorse, and it’s a bit of a struggle to get to the actual top the way I have approached it. Once on top, it is obvious that there are remains of several cairns up here, and many more of the ancient bound... Read More
Butterdon Down West	Standing Stone (Menhir)	England	Devon	Visited	26th Feb 2019	4	4	3	Crikey, an easy to reach Dartmoor standing stone which has no pictures on the Portal, so I'd better go visit it. It's not the easiest place to park at Butterdon, but I find somewhere not blocking anything, and it’s a beautiful spot. Walk westwards up the lovely, almost tunnel like bridleway before... Read More
Mardon Down N	Stone Circle	England	Devon	Visited	26th Feb 2019	3	5	4	Approaching from the hilltop ridge path down to the northern circle, and the standing pillars of it make a splendid sight against the distant fields and forests. I am not sure what to make of it, is it a stone circle, a cairn with a surrouding circle of stones, or perhaps even a large roundhouse wi... Read More
Mardon Down Cairn 1	Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	26th Feb 2019	3	4	3	Just south of the circle is what at first looks like a pile of large stones, but upon investigation is the remains of a cairn with much of the remains of a circle of surrounding stones, and with four large blocks at its southern side, and a large slab just on the outside, probably once the capstone ... Read More
Mardon Down S	Stone Circle	England	Devon	Visited	26th Feb 2019	3	4	3	Further south along the ridgetop path, and I arrive at a large wide open green area, where I can see the remains of the stone circle extending around the exterior. The first part I get to has another of what looks like a little cairn right on the circumference of the circle, but again the hole in th... Read More
Mardon Down Ring Cairn	Ring Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	26th Feb 2019	2	3	3	A bit further south along the ridgetop pathway is a large open green area to the west, with the fairly clear remains of a large 20m diameter ring cairn, looking much like a saucer. Much of this cairn has been ruined, but in places there are some semblances of structure. On the eastern side of the pa... Read More
Mardon Down Cairn 3	Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	26th Feb 2019	2	3	3	Just south of the Giant's Grave is a smaller, but much more clear to see cairn, about 10m diameter and still with some semblance of a retaining circle of stones.
The Giant's Grave Mardon Down	Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	26th Feb 2019	2	3	3	At the top of the hill, and there is a fairly large cleared green area, but the Giant's Grave cairn is very disappointing, being not much more than a large bumpy area of ground, of about 20m diameter. It certainly doesn't live up to its name.
Marden Down East	Ring Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	26th Feb 2019	3	3	4	Heading southwest up to the top of Mardon Hill, and about halfway up there is a recently cleared area by the path, with the clear remains of a ring cairn which I was not expecting to see from my quick look in Butler before heading off for the day, which basically states that there are probably other...

Headless Cross (Moretonhampstead)	Modern Stone Circle etc	England	Devon	Visited	26th Feb 2019	3	3	5	Beautiful sunny week in February, the hottest on record with 21 degrees recorded at Kew. So I decided a day on Dartmoor was required, and that I should visit Mardon Down to see the stone circle and other monuments in the vicinity, plus visit a couple of pubs. Two hours to drive down, and I was out o... Read More
Dunnabridge Pound	Ancient Village or Settlement	England	Devon	Visited	18th Sep 2020	4	3	5	Now I can head back down the hillside on a decent track to Dunnabridge, passing what are probably interesting remains of Brimpts Mine, which on another less tired time I would go and explore! Once down and before walking up the road to the car park, I decide for a quick look in Dunnabridge Pound wit... Read More
Laughter Tor row 2	Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue	England	Devon	Visited	18th Sep 2020	2	3	3	Before leaving, I remember that there is supposedly the small remnants of another double stone row to be found a bit west of the longstone, but am not expecting to find them under the vegetation. However, before I even start my search, there they are, much nearer than I expected, and once again the ... Read More
Laughter Tor Longstone	Standing Stone (Menhir)	England	Devon	Visited	18th Sep 2020	4	4	3	The longstone is a lovely thing, although it has supposedly been re-erected facing the wrong way, as it does not aligned either with or against the row. Its almost 2.5 metres tall, and the views south are gorgeous, and I can see my car from here, so not far back now. Checking on the time, and I deci... Read More
Laughter Tor row 1	Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue	England	Devon	Visited	18th Sep 2020	3	4	3	Now I am nearly back to Dunnabridge, time to sit in the sun for a rest to take in the views and finish my supplies. Damn, I have left the fruit in the car! The stone row should be just along a bit more then up on my right. There it is, but it’s a struggle to get to it from here through the heather... Read More
Kraps Ring	Ancient Village or Settlement	England	Devon	Visited	18th Sep 2020	3	4	3	Time is getting on, and clouds seem to be coming over, and I am getting tired. What to do now, I don't want to give up and return the way I came, but completing the planned walk will be a lot further in distance. However, most of the rest of the walk will be on marked pathways, which is probably 3 t... Read More
Lakehead Cairn Circle 1	Ring Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	18th Sep 2020	3	4	3	Heading back northeast, and after disturbing something fairly large within the forest edge, I proceed to what is marked as "Cairn Circle". I find a ring of 13 small pale stones, about 6 m in diameter. Nothing much to be found within the circle except for one other flat slab.
Lakehead Hill 2	Cist	England	Devon	Visited	18th Sep 2020	2	3	3	Head west from the stone row, and right at the edge of the forest is found Cairn 2, marked by the OS as "Cist". What I find is a fairly large cist box standing proud of the ground, with nothing too obvious of a cairn or circle surrounding it.
Lakehead Hill W	Stone Row / Alignment	England	Devon	Visited	18th Sep 2020	3	3	3	I now head north to the top of the hill, where a single stone row of about a dozen stones heads east to west across the hilltop. There is no obvious cairn, but at the western end the stone is facing across the rline of the row as if to be a Blocking Stone.
Lakehead Hill 5	Stone Circle	England	Devon	Visited	18th Sep 2020	4	4	3	Just to the north of Cairn 6 is Cairn 5, again a nice circle of 10 pale slabs with a diameter about 7m, slightly larger than cairn 6, as are the stones. There is no signs of a cist within the circle, but a few slabs to the southeast which may have made up part of a row to the cairn.
Lakehead Hill 6	Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	18th Sep 2020	4	4	3	I now wander out onto the open hilltop and head soutwest towards carins 5 and 6 marked as "Cairn Circle and Cist" on the OS map, but am initially mislead by a large post which does not mark them before finding the pair of cairns with their small marker! The southern of the two cairn circles consists... Read More
Lakehead Hill E	Stone Row / Alignment	England	Devon	Visited	18th Sep 2020	4	4	3	Carry on northwards and then left in the scrubby gap between the forest trees to what the OS mark as "Cairn Circle & Cist". A path leads on westwards and then there it is, the coverstar of the Lakehead Hill sites. A short stone row leads westwards to a large rectangular box structure, all in a very ... Read More
Lakehead Hill Cairn 7	Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	18th Sep 2020	3	3	3	Further north along the forest track and across the Lich Way, this next target is marked as "Cairn Circle & Cist" on the map. Down a little open trackway into a clearing in the forest, I find the remnants of a large cist in a large round cairn, but the remnants of a cairn circle elude me. Possibly o... Read More
Lakehead Hill Cairn 8	Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	18th Sep 2020	3	3	3	North to Lakehead Hill, and my first target is on the right of the forest track and marked as "Cist" on the map. It does what it says on the tin, and a decent cist is found within a large circular cairn.
Lakehead Hill	Stone Row / Alignment	England	Devon	Visited	18th Sep 2020	3	3	3	Day to Dartmoor for a lovely and sunny but tiring walk from Dunnabridge finding several cairns and cists on the way up and over Bellever Tor and on to Lakehead Hill with all its prehistoric remains. Down through Kraps Ring and the forest to Bellever, then up past Laughter Hole to the stone rows on t... Read More
Bellever Tor N Settlement	Ancient Village or Settlement	England	Devon	Visited	18th Sep 2020	3	3	3	Following lunch atop the splendid viewpoint that is Bellever Tor, I walked northwards towards Lakehead Hill along the nice and clear pathway which passes through several ancient settlements, of which various walls and other remains can be seen.
Bellever Tor Cairn one	Cist	England	Devon	Visited	18th Sep 2020	4	4	3	Now on a worn pathway along what was previously the edge of the forested area, and I get to what is marked "Cairn & Cist". A nicely formed cairn is found with a few surrounding kerbstones and a large capstone covering the remnants of a cist underneath.
Bellever Tor 2	Cairn	England	Devon	Visited	18th Sep 2020	2	3	3	Making it over the northern wall into the area where the forest has recently been cleared, and look for the next "Cairn" marked on my map. Even with gps I struggle to find what could be considered to be a cairn, although there were several contenders. I suspect that what I found as a single standing... Read More
Bellever Tor 6	Cist	England	Devon	Visited	18th Sep 2020	3	3	3	Back into the western area to search for this marked as "Cairn Circle & Cist", hiding in amongst the long grass, which was at times almost waist deep. Nice remains of a cist with several cairn kerbstones encirling it.
Bellever Tor 10	Cist	England	Devon	Visited	18th Sep 2020	2	3	3	Second cain I looked for first had the challenge of getting across the wall into the eastern area. I found the cairn in what I thought was a most unlikely place on a slope, the remains being largely a single cist sideslab, with a few other stones laying nearby.
Bellever Tor 9	Cist	England	Devon	Visited	18th Sep 2020	2	3	3	Day to Dartmoor for a lovely and sunny but tiring walk from Dunnabridge. Decided to start my walk by searching out the various cairns and cists on the way up to Bellever Tor, for which the ViewRanger with OSMap app helped enormously for those marked on the map. First I found, marked as "Cairn & Cist... Read More
Cordon des Druides	Stone Row / Alignment	France	Bretagne:Ille-et-Vilaine (35)	Visited	13th Aug 2005	4	4	5	This long line of white quartz stones is easy to find in the Fougères Forest, north of the town. It is about 500 metres east of the big parking area at Chennedet crossroads along the D177 road, and has a sign and a few parking places nearby. The row is about 250 metres long, and the white quart... Read More	204	329
Pierre du Trésor	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Bretagne:Ille-et-Vilaine (35)	Visited	13th Aug 2005	3	3	4	Deep in the darkest depths of Fougères forest can be found the Pierre du Trésor. Its actually only about a 400 metre signposted walk from the big car park at the Chennedet crossing of the main D177 road north from Fougères, and the traffic on this busy road is only 100 metres away. My gps didnt s... Read More	204	328
Pierre Courcoulée (Landean)	Passage Grave	France	Bretagne:Ille-et-Vilaine (35)	Visited	13th Aug 2005	3	4	4	North of Fougères, in the forest, are several megalithic remains. The Pierre Courcoulée is towards the northwest of the forest and well signposted, it is just 200m from a big forest carpark and has its own circular walk which can be followed. The dolmen is in a little clearing with signpost, a... Read More	204	327
Allée Couverte le Rocher Jacquot	Passage Grave	France	Bretagne:Ille-et-Vilaine (35)	Visited	13th Aug 2005	3	3	4	The remains of this monument can be found a few kilometres northwest of Fougères, along the D.17 road towards St-Germain-en-Cogles. It is signposted, but not very clearly, and there is a little trackway and fenced off area around it. At first I thought it was the remains of a dolmen with entry... Read More	204	326
La Roche Piquée (Baudouinais)	Standing Stone (Menhir)	France	Bretagne:Ille-et-Vilaine (35)	Visited	13th Aug 2005	3	3	3	A few kilometres to the west of the village of Livré-sur-Changeon, and a few kilometres to the south of the little town of St-Aubin-du-Cormier, near to the hamlet of Baudouinais can be seen this menhir marked on some of my maps as Pierre Piquée.

Roche-aux-Fées (Essé)	Passage Grave	France	Bretagne:Ille-et-Vilaine (35)	Visited	3rd Jun 2010	5	5	5	June 2010 visit to France to see my sister, and as usual I had my Dad with me. I had decided on a long detour to visit La Roche-aux-Fées, but before we came here, I had told him nothing about it, except to say we were going to visit somewhere special. He is well used to me taking him to old stones ... Read More	210	2
Roche-aux-Fées (Essé)	Passage Grave	France	Bretagne:Ille-et-Vilaine (35)	Visited	13th Aug 2005	5	4	5	Small notes only for this very well known and popular site, which I was originally thinking of saving to be my last megalithic visit of my whole 6 month tour. First thoughts, Aaaaarrrrrgghhhh, it's busy. And you pay to get in. Aaaarrrgghhhhh. Never mind, I have to see it. I decided not to take my bo... Read More	204	324
Pierre de Richebourg	Standing Stone (Menhir)	France	Bretagne:Ille-et-Vilaine (35)	Visited	13th Aug 2005	3	3	4	I could initially find no evidence of this stone, looking for it from the east, and thought that it is probably somewhere in the fenced off woodland grounds of the big house on the top of the hill. Further investigation from the north, the D.41 road to Retiers, and I found a trackway which takes you... Read More	204	323
Champ Des Louères Menhir	Standing Stone (Menhir)	France	Pays de la Loire:Loire-Atlantique	Visited	13th Aug 2005	4	3	4	Well signposted from the village of Saint-Aubin-Des-Châteaux, these lead to a parking area beside the sports centre, from where the menhir is a walk of a few hundred metres. It's a very big stone, 3.5 metres tall, 3 metres wide and over a metre thick, and it lives in a field beside the trackway. Th... Read More	204	322

From there it's about 500 metres walk along the farm track, taking the left turn at the crossing of tracks. It's a very nice menhir, 5.2 metres tall and shaped so that it is ... Read More	204	321
Blackquarries Hill	Chambered Tomb	England	Gloucestershire	Visited	14th Nov 2004	2	3	3	The remains of this long barrow can be seen in a field at the southern end of the ridge between Tyley Bottom and Ozleworth Bottom near Wotton-under-Edge. There is a track which is part of the Cotswold Way which runs round the hill and passes close to the barrow, but I could find no way in for a clos... Read More
Blackquarries Hill	Chambered Tomb	England	Gloucestershire	Visited	13th Sep 2020	3	3	3	Revisiting this part of the Cotswold Way, and the field around the long barrow has been opened up to the public with a stile, and an information board has been placed in front of the barrow. The fence and old tree stumps have been removed, although it is all still a very untidy heap!
Pierre a Sacrifice (Putifay)	Polissoir	France	Pays de la Loire:Maine-et-Loire 49	Visited	12th Aug 2005	2	3	5	Near to the dolmen de Putifaie, and right beside the road can be found this stone once thought to be a sacrificial stone.

Pierre Couverte (Pontigné)	Passage Grave	France	Pays de la Loire:Maine-et-Loire 49	Visited	12th Aug 2005	5	4	4	This is a very pleasant find. It's well signposted from the village of Pontigné, a couple of kilometres to the west along the D.171 Rue Des Megalithes, and appears on the village plan with a photograph. This is most unusual in these parts where most are very hard, if not impossible to find. Once at... Read More	204	312

Halfway between the villages of Flée and Chahaignes is a track south from the D.255 road up to Gobianne farm. I parked and walked up the track for at least 800 metres, and eventually I saw the menhir in a field up on the hillside. The field is well ditched, fenced ... Read More	204	304
Pierre Levée (La Grange)	Standing Stone (Menhir)	France	Centre:Indre-et-Loire (37)	Visited	11th Aug 2005	4	4	4	This is a large upright slab, 3.5 metres high and 3 metres wide, in a field overlooking a stream. Beside it are a few more large slabs, but they don’t look like they have broken off the top, although it is possible. It's a lovely limestone sort of slab, and looks like holes have been drilled into ... Read More	204	303
Dolmen de Marcilly	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Centre:Indre-et-Loire (37)	Visited	11th Aug 2005	4	4	3	This was not an easy dolmen to get to, as my campervan wouldn’t go under a low railway bridge, and hence I had a walk of over a kilometre. It's hard to explain, but once under the railway I just followed the field edges hoping to see something, and there it was, beyond a copse and a pond. The ... Read More	204	302
Dolmen de la Haute Barde	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Centre:Indre-et-Loire (37)	Couldn't find	11th Aug 2005				This dolmen is either in dense woodland, or else on private property for the large chateau, as I can find no sign of it anywhere.	204	301

Dolmen du Château de Pierrefitte	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Centre:Indre-et-Loire (37)	Saw from a distance	10th Aug 2005				It's difficult to get to see this dolmen, as it resides in the grounds of a big private chateau, and cannot be visited. However I was just able to catch a glimpse of it from the front gate of the house. It is in the parkland at the east side, with trees around it. It looks a nice tidy dolmen with ca...

Hauts-de-Bretagne Polissoir	Polissoir	France	Centre:Loire-et-Cher (41)	Visited	9th Aug 2005	3	3	3	Just outside the Hauts-de-Bretagne dolmen, at the northwest side, can be found a polissoir stone, with one groove, 5 basins and a flat area for polishing work. These are on a slab about one metre square. I do not know whether this slab was once part of the blown up dolmen or not.	204	294

La Pierre Sorcière	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Centre:Loire-et-Cher (41)	Visited	9th Aug 2005	2	3	5	I have seen this referred to as both a dolmen and a polissoir, and can be found by the roadside just outside the village of Villiersfaux, and signposted from the Mairie. It is a big 5 m by 3 m lump of puddingstone, with a few other stones around and about it. It may well be the capstone of a collaps... Read More	204	291
Dolmen des Louettes	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Centre:Loire-et-Cher (41)	Couldn't find	9th Aug 2005				Marked on my ign 1:100,000 map, but I could find no sign of this dolmen on the ground.

I asked a few people if they knew of any dolmens around here and none of them had any idea what... Read More	204	289
Mondétour polissoirs	Polissoir	France	Centre:Loire-et-Cher (41)	Couldn't find	9th Aug 2005				This polissoir is signposted up a trackway from the D.917 roadside to the southwest of Vendome. The trouble is, there are no more signs to be found once away from the road, and the track splits into three ways. A railway cuts the straight on, obvious path, and I could find no stone up there.

Les Grosses Pierres (Breuil)	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Centre:Loire-et-Cher (41)	Couldn't find	9th Aug 2005				I could find no trace of this despite spending a lot of time looking. It should be somewhere beside the river Loir south of Cloyes near to Le Breuil farm, but a longish way from any road.

Langault Dolmen	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Centre:Loire-et-Cher (41)	Visited	9th Aug 2005	4	3	5	This is a pleasant little dolmen sat right beside the D.19 road between Cloyes and Morée just after the railway crossing as you travel south, and it has a little parking and picnic area beside it. It’s a pity the road is so busy with big lorries hammering past. The dolmen is made from lumps of pu... Read More	204	287
Dolmen de la Nivardière 2	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Centre:Loire-et-Cher (41)	Visited	8th Aug 2005	2	3	4	In another part of the field near to the Nivardière menhir and dolmen is a large slab of stone left in an unploughed area. Is this the remains of another dolmen ? This village is very rich in megalithic remains, and it would not surprise me if this was.	204	286
Dolmen de la Nivardière 1	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Centre:Loire-et-Cher (41)	Visited	8th Aug 2005	4	3	4	Just to the northeast of the centre of the village of Tripleville, about 100 metres into the first field out of the village along the D.137 road, can be found the Nivardière dolmen and its associated menhir about 80 metres further on.

Dolmen du Val d’Avril	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Centre:Loire-et-Cher (41)	Couldn't find	8th Aug 2005				I could see mothing obvious of the Butte de Champart to the south of the village of Tripleville, despite walking all around the area. It is perhaps all in the trees in the back garden of a house, behind the large woodshed.	204	282
Dolmen de Prunay	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Centre:Loire-et-Cher (41)	Visited	8th Aug 2005	2	3	4	Near to the road running south from the village of Tripleville towards Prunay can be found this dolmen, about 50 metres from the road across a field.

Baignon dolmens (5)	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Centre:Eure-et-Loire (28)	Visited	8th Aug 2005			4	Baignon 5 is another completely unrecogniseable pile of stones in the field. Mostly lumps of puddingstone, there is one lump of sarsen like slab. These last two dolmens really are in a bad state, and have been ploughed right up to the edges, with the stones just heaped up into as small an area as po... Read More	204	279
Baignon dolmens (4)	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Centre:Eure-et-Loire (28)	Visited	8th Aug 2005	2	2	4	Baignon 4 really is no more than a small heap of stones in the middle of a field. Actually, there is one stone still standing, but that’s it. Its all a nice puddingstone though, so it does have its good points.	204	278
Baignon dolmens (3)	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Centre:Eure-et-Loire (28)	Visited	8th Aug 2005	3	3	5	Baignon 3 initially looks again like a heap of rocks in the middle of a field, and this impression is not helped by there probably being loads of field clearance stones dumped around it. Closer inspection reveals remains of an Angevin dolmen with a rectangular 4m by 3.5m chamber with its entrance po... Read More	204	277
Baignon dolmens (2)	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Centre:Eure-et-Loire (28)	Visited	8th Aug 2005	3	3	4	Baignon 2 is in the middle of the cropped field, but which had been recently harvested when I visited. Again it is seemingly not much more than a large pile of stones in amongst the nettles and brambles. It probably has a rectangular chamber, 4m by 3m, with a single, now broken, capstone.	204	276

La Pierre qui Tourne (Morancez)	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Centre:Eure-et-Loire (28)	Visited	8th Aug 2005	3	2	5	Not much more than a pile of stones, La Pierre qui Tourne, or Morancez dolmen can be found amongst the houses of Residence du Dolmen, just off the main D.935 road through the village, a bit to the north of the church.

Grosse Pierre d'Ymorville	Standing Stone (Menhir)	France	Centre:Eure-et-Loire (28)	Saw from a distance	6th Aug 2005				This stone is about 500 metres from the road, according to the map, but I could see nothing obvious. There are no features around to help find it, in the middle of this massive industrial farming area. Perhaps it is in a field of maize. Perhaps I saw a large stone in a field of stubble. All very fru... Read More	204	253
La Pierre Clouée (Andonville)	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Centre:Loiret (45)	Visited	6th Aug 2005	3	3	4	La Pierre Clouée dolmen can be found in a field to the south of the village of Andonville, beside the little road to Annemont. It was a bugger to get to, with shut roads and suchlike. When I got there the field it stands in was being ploughed, so I nearly gave up. However, I asked the farmer and he... Read More	204	251
Dolmen des Grès de Linas	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Ile-de-France:Essonne (91)	Couldn't find	6th Aug 2005				I spent ages looking for this. I can only assume it is somewhere in the very dense fenced off woodland, in amongst the open fields. I am getting fed up of all this again.	204	250
Menhir dit la Pierre aux Prêtres	Standing Stone (Menhir)	France	Ile-de-France:Seine-et-Marne 77	Couldn't find	6th Aug 2005				I could find nowhere to stop beside a nasty busy road to go and look for this stone. I could see nothing obvious.	204	249
Menhir de la Croix Saint Jacques	Standing Stone (Menhir)	France	Ile-de-France:Seine-et-Marne 77	Visited	6th Aug 2005	3	3	4	This menhir can be found in a field just to the side of the D.410 road, about 500 metres to the south of the village of Tousson. It stands about 3.3 metres tall, and is a rectangular section lump of sarsen. I found it difficult to park here.	204	248
Pierre de l'Armoire	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Ile-de-France:Seine-et-Marne 77	Visited	6th Aug 2005	4	4	4	This dolmen can be found a couple of kilometres north of the village of Rumont, along the D.16a road. There is then a signpost to it, and it's about a kilometres walk from the road along a farm track. The dolmen is within a cropped field, but has a reasonable area left around it, and is in the r...

La Roche au Diable (Paley)	Polissoir	France	Ile-de-France:Seine-et-Marne 77	Couldn't find	6th Aug 2005				Marked near to the menhir is a polissoir stone, in the woods down by the little river. I could find no obvious signpost or footpath towards where it is marked, and having now found out how difficult to find some of these polissoir stones are to find, I didnt spend any time looking.	204	246
Polissoirs des Ortures	Polissoir	France	Ile-de-France:Seine-et-Marne 77	Couldn't find	6th Aug 2005				Near the hamlet of Les Ortures, in the Bois Tranzy, there is a little signposted footpath near to the reservoirs. Along this path can be found two rock outcrops, the tops of which have been used for polishing stone tools. One of the two rocks has several grooves in it, while the other has a polishin...

La Pierre Clouée (Nanteau)	Standing Stone (Menhir)	France	Ile-de-France:Seine-et-Marne 77	Visited	6th Aug 2005	4	3	4	This is a 4.5 metre tall menhir which can be found in a field south of the village of Villemarechal. Its near enough a kilometres walk from the roadside, but can easily be seen from there. It has been ploughed very close to, and in fact is suffering from various collisions with agricultural machiner... Read More	204	244
Mérinville Polissoir	Polissoir	France	Centre:Loiret (45)	Couldn't find	6th Aug 2005				Today I went back for a proper look for the Mérinville Polissoir, which is another stone the farmers wife at Coinche said I should go to see. I walked a lot down the forest track near to where it is marked on my map, but there was no chance of finding it without knowing exactly where to look. There... Read More	204	243
Monte à Peine menhir	Standing Stone (Menhir)	France	Centre:Loiret (45)	Visited	6th Aug 2005	3	3	5	Take Rue du Menhir east from the village of Pers-en-Gâtinais, and just after the first road junction the road bears round to the right. The menhir is right beside the road, but almost lost in bushes and undergrowth. It's just over 2 metres tall, and is a lump of sarsen type stone.	204	242

Polissoir des Davaux	Polissoir	France	Centre:Loiret (45)	Couldn't find	5th Aug 2005				At Pers-en-Gâtinais there is another polissoir stone marked on my map, but I could find no obvious sign of this. Perhaps tomorrow.	204	240
Mérinville Polissoir	Polissoir	France	Centre:Loiret (45)	Couldn't find	5th Aug 2005				The Mérinville Polissoir is another stone the farmers wife at Coinche said I should go to see. However, I am not exactly sure where to find it, and it is now pouring with rain, so I am not going to go for a long walk now, especially as it is getting late and starting to get dark. There is no sign t... Read More	204	239
Menhir dit la Grande Roche	Standing Stone (Menhir)	France	Centre:Loiret (45)	Visited	5th Aug 2005	3	4	3	To the west of the village of Pers-en-Gâtinais can be found this 2.5 metre tall menhir in a field beside the small road to Mérinville. It is in the middle of a freshly ploughed field, so I didn't go right up to it, but it is only 50 metres from the roadside.	204	238
Pierre de Minuit Menhir	Standing Stone (Menhir)	France	Centre:Loiret (45)	Visited	18th Feb 2007	5	4	4	I wouldn't have bothered with this one, but was told I should visit it by the farmers wife at Coinche. And my thanks must again go to her. It is a wonderful stone, the tallest menhir in the Departement of Loiret. It is almost 5 metres tall, up to 2 metres wide and very variable in thickness. The sto... Read More	204	237
Coinche polissoir	Polissoir	France	Centre:Loiret (45)	Visited	12th Feb 2007	4	3	3	About 80 metres from the menhir are several large rocks laying flat in the next field. One of these stones has three lovely polishing grooves in the top at one side, each about 50 cm long, and a big cuvette basin for polishing the flat sides. As for the menhir, these stones are in a cropped field, a... Read More	204	236
Menhir de Coinche	Standing Stone (Menhir)	France	Centre:Loiret (45)	Visited	5th Aug 2005	3	3	3	This menhir is in the middle of a cropped field just behind the farmhouse, down a track and then turn left near the wood. It is not normally possible to get right to it, but I was proudly shown the stone by the wife of the farmer. The field is full of sunflowers this year, and the stone was not visi... Read More	204	235
La Pierre Pointue (Montacher)	Standing Stone (Menhir)	France	Bourgogne:Yonne (89)	Visited	5th Aug 2005	3	3	3	A few kilometres to the south of the village of Montacher-Villegardin via windy unmarked roads, and about a kilometre walk to the west of the little road which runs south from the village, along farm tracks and you can find this menhir in a field.

Dolmen de Bercenay	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Bourgogne:Yonne (89)	Couldn't find	5th Aug 2005				Just off the edge of my map, the Pierre au Laurin, or Pierre Couverte, has no obvious signposts to it, and I could see no obvious signs of any dolmen in the locality, so I didn’t really look. Which is a shame really, as I see later there are three good dolmens to be found here, much better tha... Read More	204	233
Polissoir des Roches	Polissoir	France	Bourgogne:Yonne (89)	Couldn't find	5th Aug 2005				The Polissoir des Roches, or Courgenay polissoir should be found in the forest to the south of the village of Courgenay, up on the hills. There are no signposts to be seen to it, so I am pretty sure that I will not be able to find it on my own.	204	232
Polissoir avec Plage	Polissoir	France	Bourgogne:Yonne (89)	Visited	7th Aug 2011	3	4	3	A further 40 metres downstream from the second polissoir stone, is found a third. This one is a smaller stone, about 2 metres by 0.5 metres, and a nice smoothed crescent shape, hence the name. As well as the entire polishing "beach", there are at least three bowls for polishing, some of which are qu... Read More	204	231
Polissoir avec Cuvette	Polissoir	France	Bourgogne:Yonne (89)	Visited	5th Aug 2005	3	4	3	About 50 metres from the Pierre à l'Eau, and thankfully signposted through the tricky forest, can be found a second polissoir stone. This one has a large water filled basin, and as far as I can make out, only two two large flattish basin like polishing areas. I guess this stone was used for the fla... Read More	204	230
Pierre à l'Eau	Polissoir	France	Bourgogne:Yonne (89)	Visited	5th Aug 2005	4	4	3	This is much more like it, a lovely polissoir stone, with its own source of water in the form of a couple of deep basins which I assume are natural, and it is not far from a little stream. The stone is sort of triangular, about 2 m by 1.5 m, and has five well worn grooves and a couple of flat basins... Read More	204	229
Lancy Polissoir	Polissoir	France	Bourgogne:Yonne (89)	Visited	5th Aug 2005	2	3	4	About 350 metres to the north of the D.110 road through Lancy Forest can be found this polissoir stone. Park at the Pavillon-de-Lancy picnic site, and the stone can be found down the track along the edge of the forest from there. Luckily it is signposted, as without them I would never have found it....

Lancy Dolmen	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Bourgogne:Yonne (89)	Visited	5th Aug 2005	3	4	3	Now this is more like it. In the Foret-de-Lancy, a couple of kilometres to the southeast of Saint-Maurice-aux-Riches-Hommes can be found this nice looking little dolmen. It is signposted from the road through the forest about 700 metres south of the parking place at the track to the Traînel dolmens... Read More	204	227
Petit dolmen de Trainel	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Bourgogne:Yonne (89)	Visited	5th Aug 2005	2	3	3	About 15 metres to the north of the Grand Dolmen along the slope of the hill, and perhaps in what was once the same mound can be found the Petit Dolmen. It doesn’t look much more than a medium sized rock sat on the hillside, but closer inspection shows there to be a 1 metre by 0.5 metre slab sided... Read More	204	226
Grand dolmen de Trainel	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Bourgogne:Yonne (89)	Visited	5th Aug 2005	3	3	3	There are two dolmens here in the Traînel forest, signposted a couple of kilometres to the west of Saint-Maurice-aux-Riches-Hommes.

Dolmen de la Bourde à la Gousse	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Bourgogne:Yonne (89)	Couldn't find	4th Aug 2005				There is a dolmen marked on my ign map near to the village of La Bourde a la Gousse, so I went to have a look. I walked a fair distance down a forest track, but I could find nothing. The forest was either very dense and impenetrable, or fenced off. There was at one point lots of rocks on the forest ...

La Pierre-Aux-Sorcières	Standing Stone (Menhir)	France	Bourgogne:Yonne (89)	Couldn't find	4th Aug 2005				La Pierre-Aux-Sorcières, or La Pierre-Enlevée is to be found in the community of Vaumort. I'd have liked to have found the Witch's stone, but I don’t have a map with it marked on, and there are no signs or notices in the village to help. Shame.	204	223
La Borne-Percée	Standing Stone (Menhir)	France	Bourgogne:Yonne (89)	Visited	4th Aug 2005	3	4	5	In the Houssaye forests, high above the Yonne river southeast of Sens, and near to the village of Les Auberts can be found this menhir at a junction of forest tracks.

Grottes d'Arcy-sur-Cure	Cave or Rock Shelter	France	Bourgogne:Yonne (89)	Saw from a distance	4th Aug 2005				I drove past these caves, without realising what significance they have. If I had realised, I would have visited.	204	220
Roche d'Arthur	Standing Stone (Menhir)	France	Bourgogne:Côte-d'Or (21)	Couldn't find	4th Aug 2005				The village of Roche-en-Brenil is supposed to have two menhirs, but I could find no sign of either of them. It's a shame that these places do not have village maps with things marked, or any signposts like they do elsewhere. The area is covered with forests, and looks to be lots of natural granite o...

Tombeaux du Single	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Bourgogne:Côte-d'Or (21)	Couldn't find	3rd Aug 2005				As with so many of the megalithic sites in the area, I could find nothing to help me find it.

Croconnet Tumulus	Chambered Cairn	France	Bourgogne:Côte-d'Or (21)	Couldn't find	3rd Aug 2005				I had a need to fill up with diesel, and so couldn’t spend long looking for this, having spent about an hour driving round every lane in the area trying to find it.

From the hamlet of Le Cheix on the D.978 road, take the small lane to the south across the river and then winding up into the hills. Despite some trepidation, the camper van got through...

Pierre des Quatre Curés	Standing Stone (Menhir)	France	Auvergne:Puy-de-Dôme (63)	Visited	21st Sep 2006	3	3	4	This crystalline basalt menhir has served as a boundary stone between four parishes since the middle ages, hence it's name. It's not much more than 2 metres high, and looks like it has been mended from broken at some point, but I cant be sure. I was hoping for a bit more from this. On the map it loo... Read More	204	182
Farges Dolmen	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Auvergne:Puy-de-Dôme (63)	Visited	23rd Jul 2005	2	3	4	Take the little country road southwest from Herment, and after a while the dolmen will be signposted.

Dolmen d'Urbe	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Limousin:Creuse (23)	Visited	23rd Jul 2005	5	4	4	In stark contrast to many places, the lovely medeival city of Crocq is proud of its dolmen, which I wasn’t going to bother with as it looks difficult to find on the big map. However, its shown on all the town maps, and clearly signposted along Route du Dolmen from the town. And they sell postcards... Read More	204	180
Dolmen de la Croix Blanche (Felletin)	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Limousin:Creuse (23)	Couldn't find	23rd Jul 2005				To the east of Felletin, on the D.10 road to Crocq, is supposedly this dolmen, at the hamlet of Croix Blanche. I looked long and hard but found nothing except for a sign telling me about it, and how it had had a grant from various people for restoration in 1987-89. Apparently its an Angevin dolmen, ...

Dolmen de la Pierre Euberte	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Limousin:Creuse (23)	Saw from a distance	22nd Jul 2005				I thought that I perhaps saw this dolmen on its hillside position, but I could find nowhere to park, and saw no obvious way through the houses and fields to get to where I thought it was.	204	176
Saint-Hilaire Dolmen	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Limousin:Creuse (23)	Couldn't find	22nd Jul 2005				I could not find this, despite it being clearly marked on my ign 1:100,000 map. However, it seem to be no longer marked on any new maps, I wonder whether it is a casualty of the N.145 trunk road, or whether it is still to be found somewhere near to the big road junction.	204	175

Château-Larcher Dolmen	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Poitou:Vienne (86)	Saw from a distance	20th Jul 2005				While trying to find a campsite at Chateau Larcher, I saw lots of signposts to Dolmen.

Pouzac Dolmen	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Poitou:Vienne (86)	Couldn't find	20th Jul 2005				I could find absolutely no sign of this. I should have the few minutes extra in the shop to have a look at or buy the 1:25000 map, rather than think I could go without.	204	153
Andillé Dolmen	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Poitou:Vienne (86)	Saw from a distance	20th Jul 2005			4	About 50 metres to the south of the road (Route de Dolmen), in a field of sweetcorn, I could just see the top of this dolmen.

Dolmen de Laverré	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Poitou:Vienne (86)	Couldn't find	20th Jul 2005				Most of the fields around here have a bunch of bushes in the middle of them. I went over to two, but they both looked just like field clearance piles. There wasn't anywhere to properly park, nor to turn round and go back to where I think the dolmen must be, so I missed this one. I must try harder.	204	150

Bougon Tumulus D	Cairn	France	Poitou:Deux-Sèvres (79)	Visited	19th Jul 2005	5	5	4	Bougon Tumulus D seems to be more a defining line separating the necropolis into two parts. It is about 70 metres in length, but only 1 or 2 metres in width, and it winds in a serpentlike form between the quarries used to get the stone to build the other tumuli.	204	138

Larcuste cairns 3	Chambered Cairn	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	12th Jul 2005	2	2	4	To the south of the two restored cairns, it is clear to see that there is a very faint raise in the adjacent field which is the ploughed out remains of a further cairn.

Alignement de Leintant	Stone Row / Alignment	France	Bretagne:Finistère (29)	Couldn't find	23rd Jun 2005				Row of fallen menhirs now incorporated into a bank at the edge of a field.

Dolmen de Rostudel	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Bretagne:Finistère (29)	Visited	19th Jun 2005	3	3	3	This is a nice enough little dolmen, but a right bugger to find and get to, even though it is just 50 metres from the roadside. Firstly there was nowhere to park nearby, and once you have parked and walked back, the path to the dolmen is badly overgrown with the now obligatory ferns, gorse and black... Read More	203	493

Dolmen de Keradiguen	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Bretagne:Finistère (29)	Couldn't find	19th Jun 2005				I was unable to find a parking place near to this, and was thus unable to have a proper look.

Kerbalanec Allée Couverte	Passage Grave	France	Bretagne:Finistère (29)	Visited	18th Jun 2005	5	3	4	This allée couverte is easy enough to find to the north of the Kerbalannec farm buildings a couple of hundred metres along a track.

Dolmen de Penquer-Bloas	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Bretagne:Finistère (29)	Visited	17th Jun 2005	3	2	4	Although I have seen this described as an allée couverte, it looks to me to be a simple dolmen still mostly within its mound.

Allée Couverte de Menez Landu	Passage Grave	France	Bretagne:Finistère (29)	Visited	17th Jun 2005	3	2	5	This looks like a straightforward simple dolmen beside the busy D.785, a kilometre or so southwest of Plomeur.

Beg-er-Goalennec Menhirs	Standing Stones	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	14th Jun 2005	3	4	5	The first menhir is a sadly broken menhir right beside a restaurant on the Cote Sauvage roadside. It's 4 metres high with another 2 metres broken from the top laying beside it. It is over 2 metres wide and only 30cm thick. It has a strangely shaped neighbour between it and the sea. The second me... Read More	203	421
Beg-er-Goalennec 1	Standing Stone (Menhir)	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	14th Jun 2005	4	4	4	This is a nice menhir, less than 3 metres tall, standing in heathland just beside the Cote Sauvage road and cliffs. A splendid position. It probably gets covered in sea spray in rough weather from the blow hole nearby.	203	420
Roc'h en Aud Dolmen	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	14th Jun 2005	3	3	5	This is a curious affair, right in amongst the houses. It has a sort of square chamber, 4 m by 4 m with an entrance in the middle of the eastern side. But around the top of the side slabs (three per side) is a sort of circle of capstones, overhanging the chamber. The top of the main chamber is not c... Read More	203	419
Kerbourgnec Alignements	Stone Row / Alignment	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	14th Jun 2005	2	4	4	At low tide, from the beach at Kerbourgnec, can be seen the remains of these alignements. More than a dozen rows of stones can be seen, stretching for about 400 metres into the sea. These stones are associated to a cromlech (of which a few of the stones can be seen) and tumulus.	203	418
St-Pierre-Quiberon Alignement	Stone Row / Alignment	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	14th Jun 2005	4	4	5	Just beyond the cromlech, and towards the town centre and the sea can be found a pleasant little park with the remains of these alignements in it. The notice says that there are 23 stones in 5 parallel rows, but it wouldn’t surprise me if there were many more dotted about in peoples gardens. T... Read More	203	417
Kerbougnec Cromlech	Stone Circle	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	14th Jun 2005	5	3	5	Found in amongst the houses of St-Pierre-Quiberon, this is nowadays a large semi circle of about 40 contiguous stones, average height about 1.8 metres. It is however just a small part of the remains of what was perhaps once an egg shaped enclosure, with a diameters of about 95 by 75 metres. It i... Read More	203	416
Kerroc’h cromlech	Stone Circle	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	14th Jun 2005	2	3	5	Oppsite to the dolmen, the gently arced wall around the house (a strange large gatewayed studio) is made up using many large stones. Perhaps there was once some sort of cromlech here, like that at Crucuny, perhaps the wall is made usong large stones from the ruined dolmen.	203	415
Kerroc'h Dolmen	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	14th Jun 2005	3	3	5	A 4 metre by 3 metre capstone sits one end in the air on two supports, while the other side is on the ground. There is one more bit of large stone here, which may be a support, or may be a broken bit of capstone. It would seem that the rest of the stones from this dolmen have been used to build the ...

Carnac Musée de Préhistoire	Museum	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	14th Jun 2005	4	4	5	There is lots of stuff in here, found at various places in the locality. Some good explanations of the various types of dolmen and tumulus to be found, and some lovely replicas of many of the engraved stones to be found. Seems like I have seen most of these now.	203	413
Fontaine St Michel	Holy Well or Sacred Spring	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	14th Jun 2005	4	4	3	Following the path round the back of the tumulus looking to get a good photograph there was a sign to Fontaine St Michel which I followed.

Kerluir Dolmen	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	13th Jun 2005	2	3	3	There's a big mound here on top of a hillock, to the east of the Kerluir menhir, but its all covered with gorse and blackthorn. However, there is a way through, and somewhere in the middle can be found this tiny little dolmen, which consists of a capstone sitting on two sidestones, with a few other ... Read More	203	410
Kerluir Menhir	Standing Stone (Menhir)	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	13th Jun 2005	4	3	3	This is a nicely shaped 4 metre high menhir in the middle of a field about 800 metres to the south of the Kermario alignements, and as such, the poor thing is a bit overshadowed. But I was taken with its leaning and its pointy top, and liked it a lot. To find this go down the track to the south of t... Read More	203	409
Kergavat Dolmen	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	13th Jun 2005	3	2	5	Right beside the busy D.781 road just to the south of Plouharnel, can be found this dolmen. In fact, the road has cut through the entrance corridor. This would have been a fairly big standard dolmen with a 4 metre or 3 metre chamber with a corridor to the south east.

Kerzerho Alignements	Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	13th Jun 2005	5	4	5	It’s a pity about the busy road running through them, but they are here, looking superb in the sun and you can wander freely amongst them.

Mané Braz menhirs	Standing Stones	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	13th Jun 2005	3	3	3	Just the other side of the footpath to the Mané Braz dolmens, down the hill, is a line of large stones still standing, each about a metre high. There are many other stones. I have no idea what this may be. Maybe a wrecked tomb of some kind.	203	403
Kerjean Menhirs	Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	13th Jun 2005				Travelling along the Chemin des Megalithes, to the west of the Mané Braz dolmens, are to be seen several megaliths within the woods. These are the Kerjean menhirs, but I don’t have enough time to explore every single stone around here. This really is a cracking ride along this path. I can't recom... Read More	203	404
Géants de Kerzerho	Stone Row / Alignment	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	13th Jun 2005	4	4	4	Coming along the Chemin des Megalithes from the east, the first thing you see is a large menhir, more than 4 metres tall, at the side of the path, with a couple of smaller stones fallen beside it.

La Table du Sacrifice	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	13th Jun 2005	4	4	4	Pretty much in the middle of the Géants de Kerzerho are two fallen giants, more than six metres long. It looks like one of the flat fallen stones may have been used as a dolmen with a chamber underneath it. Perhaps they are not fallen giants. Maybe this is the true Pierre des Sacrifices. Maybe i...

Mané Braz tumulus	Chambered Tomb	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	13th Jun 2005	5	4	3	I am surprised yet again. Up on a hilltop a few hundred metres from the Chemin des Megalithes trackway (use off road bike) is signposted Mané Braz, up a little footpath.

Crucuno Cromlech	Stone Circle	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	13th Jun 2005	5	4	4	What a lovely and unexpected find this was, not so much the expected semi-circular cromlech, but an almost complete rectangle of large stones.

Mané Keriaval	Passage Grave	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	13th Jun 2005	4	4	4	Now this is a nice one, not only for the monument, but it is signposted and not being worn away by masses of visitors. Best of all, it has obviously been cleared within the last day or so of all the undergrowth which was here. About time I found one of these which was treated a bit better, and well ...

Kercado Tumulus	Chambered Tomb	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	13th Jun 2005	5	5	4	Fantastic.

Le Quadrilatere	Passage Grave	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	13th Jun 2005	3	3	4	This is a quadrilateral of stones in the forest to the north of the alignements. It initially looks to me like the outside peristalith from a long gone passage grave, but closer inspection shows it to be more than that. As I am here, a party of horse riders ride right through, and then a bus tou... Read More	203	386
Geant du Manio	Standing Stone (Menhir)	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	13th Jun 2005	4	4	4	This is a 5 metre high menhir, fairly easily found and obviously very popular because of all the erosion around it. It is only 50 metres from the quadrilateral. It’s a very nice stone in the woodland, but I guess it can become a bit of a nightmare when crowded.	203	385
Cruz Menquen dolmen	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	12th Jun 2005	3	3	5	In amongst the homes near to the sports facilities to the north of the town is Carnac's own dolmen.

From a distance, it looks like a single large capstone on top of three supports, but this is probably wrong. There is a tree growing beside it.	203	343
Allée Couverte dite de Coguer Neguinan	Passage Grave	France	Bretagne:Morbihan (56)	Visited	11th Jun 2005	3	3	5	In an area on top of a hill overlooking a stream is the hamlet of Le Palastre, with its dolmen.

Menhir dit la Conche-Verte	Standing Stone (Menhir)	France	Pays de la Loire:Vendée (85)	Visited	7th Jun 2005	3	4	4	In a little forest clearing amongst the sand dunes to the north of Olonnes-sur-Mer, this 2 metre tall granite menhir is easily found due to the signposted footpaths.

Puy Durand menhir	Standing Stone (Menhir)	France	Pays de la Loire:Vendée (85)	Couldn't find	6th Jun 2005				They sell postcards of this menhir, and it looks massive. I found Puy Durand, and had a good look all around, but could not find any signs of the menhir.

La Sulette Dolmen	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Pays de la Loire:Vendée (85)	Visited	6th Jun 2005	5	4	5	This is a pleasant find, as it has been fully excavated and restored in 1989 to 1991, and is now found completely within its mound.

Créchaudes Dolmen	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Pays de la Loire:Vendée (85)	Visited	6th Jun 2005	2	2	4	Unless I somehow missed this dolmen, it is a wreck, not much more than several stones in a field.

Dolmen du Bois de la Grosse Pierre (Sainte-Radegonde)	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Poitou:Charente-Maritime (17)	Couldn't find	4th Jun 2005				I had a good look around for this one, down into the woods from at least two tracks, and got told some directions on how to find it, but it is well hidden in thick woodland somewhere, and I thought there are better things to do with my time than wander round in the forest for hours on end.	203	243

Grotte de Bernifal	Cave or Rock Shelter	France	Aquitaine:Dordogne (24)	Visited	2nd Jun 2005			4	This was closed to visitors when I arrived but nevertheless it was a nice walk through splendid woodland with a little stream running nearby up to the entrance.

Peyre Levade (La Borie Rouge)	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Midi:Lot (46)	Visited	17th Jan 2012	2	2	4	Remains of a small dolmen in a garden just to the north of Lalbenque. It is not well cared for and has had a large hedge planted between it and the roadside to presumably stop people like me having a look.

Mas de Labat 2	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Midi:Lot (46)	Visited	31st May 2005	3	3	3	This is an odd dolmen incorporated into a wall. The small entrance below the capstone opens up into a typical 3m by 15 m chamber. The capstone itself is piled high with stone.

Dolmen du Pech Laglayre 0	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Midi:Lot (46)	Visited	25th May 2005	2	3	3	Dolmens (plural) are marked on my ign map (and on the Michelin too) to the southwest of Gréalou near to the GR65 footpath so I went for a walk to have a look. The first I came to was nothing much more than a stone mound with a wall going over the top. But there was a collapsed chamber in the middle... Read More	203	150
Grotte de Pech-Merle	Cave or Rock Shelter	France	Midi:Lot (46)	Visited	25th May 2005	5	5	4	Superb. Not only for the prehistoric stuff, but also for the cave and its stalactites as well. There is some fantastic cave decoration in here, including pearls and a superb "spinninng top", and also some wonderful discs. Amazing. The prehistoric stuff dates from all ages, 25,000 BC to 10,000 BC... Read More	203	149
Dolmen d'Aubin	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Midi:Lot (46)	Couldn't find	25th May 2005				Marked on the ign map with a pink square and right beside a good road I thought I’d take a look. Could I find anything ? Could I flip. No way. No signs at all. Nothing. Not a sausage.	203	148
Mas de Greil Oppidum	Promontory Fort / Cliff Castle	France	Midi:Lot (46)	Saw from a distance	25th May 2005				High on cliffs overlooking the Célé river this hill surrounded on 3 sides by high cliffs has been inhabited and used as a hilltop refuge since 5000BC. It doesn’t need much defending but there are 5 metre deep ditches across the neck of land attaching it to the high Causse.	203	147
Custalou Dolmen	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Midi:Lot (46)	Visited	24th May 2005	3	3	3	This is a nice looking dolmen in a field beside a farm near the village of Grèzes, although there was no obvious way in to the field to the dolmen itself. It looks quite large compared to most dolmens in this area, the capstone is unfortunately broken into three pieces, held up on two large side sl... Read More	203	146
Cloup des Périès	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Midi:Lot (46)	Visited	24th May 2005	3	3	3	A little dolmen found down a track a kilometre or so to the south of the village of Grèzes in Lot.

Dolmen du Bois des Boeufs	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Midi:Lot (46)	Visited	24th May 2005	4	4	3	Blimey, how difficult can it be to find these places ? This dolmen is in the book, is on the 1:100000 map, with a name, and I have the detailed map also. Its to be found 200 metres from Garivals dolmen on a bearing of 025°, but can you walk in that direction ? No. I eventually found it after some l... Read More	203	142

Dolmen du Puech Roussel	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Midi:Lot (46)	Couldn't find	24th May 2005				On my ign 1:25000 map, theres a dolmen marked right beside the road here, but could I find it ? I spent ages looking, but no, I did not find it. Studying the map closely after this, I don’t see how I could possibly have missed this, everything else matches exactly, even the swallow hole.	203	140

Gabaudet Dolmen 1	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	France	Midi:Lot (46)	Couldn't find	24th May 2005				There are supposedly a couple of lovely dolmens here in the woods. I had a good walk and look around, but could find nothing. I really needed to get the 1:25000 map this morning.

Château Bû	Chambered Cairn	France	Bretagne:Ille-et-Vilaine (35)	Visited	13th May 2005	4	3	4	This is now fenced off to prevent the massive erosion which was happening but clearly visible although becoming a little overgrown.

St Breock Downs Menhir	Standing Stone (Menhir)	England	Cornwall	Visited	28th Sep 2012	3	3	4	As we arrived, this ridgetop stone was lit up by the falling sun, on the top of the ridge below the wind turbines, and looked absolutely splendid. However, didn't stop, as Men Gurta and the newly refound kistvaen were more pressing in the light. Returned after visiting those, and the sun had gone do... Read More
St Breock Beacon Kistvaen	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	England	Cornwall	Visited	28th Sep 2012	2	2	4	Recently rediscovered underneath a heavily overgrown region of scrub, just to the southwest of Men Gurta, this monument was first recorded by William Borlase in his 1872 work Naenia Cornubiae. It basically consists of two large stone slabs, one leaning on the other. I found it by walking in a so... Read More
Men Gurta	Standing Stone (Menhir)	England	Cornwall	Visited	28th Sep 2012	4	4	4	Near the top of St Breock Down, this stone is easily reached along the little lanes to the south of Wadebridge. Men Gurta is the largest and heaviest standing stone in Cornwall. It is very nice up here in the sinking sun, with some terriffic views out to sea over the Camel estuary. I think the wind...

Nine Maidens Stone Row	Stone Row / Alignment	England	Cornwall	Visited	28th Sep 2012	4	4	4	A second trip to the 9 Maidens this week, the field was still absolutely sodden, and we were over our ankles in places, which seemed strange as it is all on a reasonable slope and looked like it should drain reasonably well. At the far side of the field are the Maidens, 9 evenly spaced stones, a cou... Read More
The Fiddler	Standing Stone (Menhir)	England	Cornwall	Visited	28th Sep 2012	3	4	4	Nowadays not much more than a large lump of stone laying in a field to the east of the A39 on the highpoint of land as the road passes over St Breock downs. It is positioned at a point where the line of the 9 Maidens would cross the top of the ridge. It is lovely light up here this afternoon, bu... Read More
Anta Grande do Zambujeiro	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	Portugal	Évora	Visited	13th Oct 2019	3	2	4	With claims to being the largest burial chamber in the Iberian Peninsula, and hence one of the biggest in the world, the Anta Grande do Zambujeiro is relatively easy to find, as it is on all the megalithic circuits and leaflets, and signposted from all around. However, it is again about a kilometer ... Read More
Anta Grande da Comenda da Igreja	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	Portugal	Évora	Visited	13th Oct 2019	4	5	4	I drove north through Montemor-o-Novo, and using a combination of the Satnav and my Google map, found the right place to visit the Anta Grande da Comenda da Igreja. However, it is not simple to find and takes a read of my notes and open the portal page to get full directions. I park at the relev... Read More
Anta Da Comenda Grande	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	Portugal	Évora	Visited	13th Oct 2019	3	4	4	Leave the Anta Grande da Comenda da Igreja and drive towards São Geraldo, then east towards Sabugueiro for about half a kilometre until the road goes over a small hill through a little cutting then down onto the open plains. The dolmen is just off to the north side of the road at the position of th... Read More
Garn Turne	Chambered Tomb	Wales	Pembrokeshire	Couldn't find	5th Oct 2015				Despite there being a few places to park nearby, I could find no way into the relevant field to have a look at this interesting sounding site, which is not clearly marked on the maps.
Parc Y Llyn	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	Wales	Pembrokeshire	Visited	5th Oct 2015	2	2	4	Remains of a burial chamber with a splendidly nobbly capstone partly in a hedge at the east side of a field, which can be accessed via a bridleway to the south. When I was here I found it difficult to park anywhere nearby, and the short section of bridleway from road to field was very overgrown and ... Read More
Lower Broadmoor	Standing Stone (Menhir)	Wales	Pembrokeshire	Visited	5th Oct 2015	4	3	4	A 2.1 metre tall standing stone in a cattle field just to the south of Lower Broadmoor farm, a couple of kilometres to the north of Wolf's Castle in Pembrokeshire. Not so easy to get to as it looks on the map, with many gates across the footpath and ankle deep mud caused by the cattle which use thi... Read More
Trehale Stone	Standing Stone (Menhir)	Wales	Pembrokeshire	Visited	5th Oct 2015	2	3	4	One of several ancient sites around here, none of them clearly marked on my 1:50000 map. Having parked at Treddiog, I walked along the bridleway to the west, about 300 yards along the track and saw this stone on top of a little hillock in the field to the south. It looks to be broken off, and would... Read More

Anta-Capela de Nossa Senhora do Livramento	Burial Chamber or Dolmen	Portugal	Évora	Visited	13th Oct 2019	4	3	5	Several miles along a very narrow and twisty road, and I eventually arrived at the Anta-Capela de Nossa Senhora do Livramento, or Anta-Capela de São Brissos, which was one I really wanted to visit, the white painted dolmen now built into a chapel, complete with blue stripe around the bottom to keep...

I struggled to get out of the walled city of Evora, round all the one way systems etc, but eventually after finding a place to stop, where I figured ou... Read More

Menir dos Almendres	Standing Stone (Menhir)	Portugal	Évora	Visited	12th Oct 2019	5	4	3	Driving towards Evora from Pavia, and after the town of Arraiolos, we see a large brown sign stating something like Recinto do megalithica, which I think is directions to a local megalithic cromlech. However, we see no further signs in the locality, and realise that perhaps the sign is for a megalit... Read More
Cromeleque dos Almendres	Stone Circle	Portugal	Évora	Visited	12th Oct 2019	5	5	4	From the menhir parking, travel a couple more kilometres along the dirt road, and there is a large parking place for the cromlech, a short walk further along. What a fabulous place, especially in the late afternoon golden sun. Once a double circle of stones, it now appears to be rather unclear, ... Read More

I see it up on the hillside a hundred yards or so away, and with no obvious way in, and cattle in the field. Compared to the... Read More
Carn Pica	Cairn	Wales	Powys	Visited	20th Aug 2019				A splendid "modern" cairn at the top of the most easterly tip of the main Brecon Beacons ridge, just to the east of the summit of Waun Rydd, probably built at the position of an ancient cairn.
Fan y Big	Cairn	Wales	Powys	Visited	20th Aug 2019				Very slight remains of a burial cairn can be found at the top of Fan y Big, one of the ridge peaks of the Brecon Beacons. Absolutely stunning views are to be had from here, possibly the best in all of the Brecon Beacons, with the large glacial valleys below on two sides, and the high peaks of Cr... Read More
Garn Fawr (Brecon)	Cairn	Wales	Powys	Visited	20th Aug 2019				Marked as Cairn and "Pile of Stones" on the various OS maps, this is a stone cairn on a rock outcrop, part of a low craggy outcrop at the southern end of the flat plateau of Gwaun Cerrig Llwydion. The cairn is 3m in diameter and 0.75m high. The area of the rock outcrop is called Garn Fawr but this a... Read More

He takes great pride in showing us some amazing features of Maen Llia, such ... Read More
Ogmore Cross Shaft	Early Christian Sculptured Stone	Wales	South Glamorgan	Visited	10th Oct 2018				Day out exploring the south Wales coast. On the way back, stop off at Ogmore Castle, gleaming orange in the setting sun. Within the castle is mounted a stone which clearly has carvings on it, but in the dark shadow of the castle walls, it was impossible to make anything out clearly.
Nash Point Barrows	Round Barrow(s)	Wales	Mid Glamorgan	Visited	10th Oct 2018				Day out exploring the south Wales coast. Walk from Monknash down to the beach and then along the clifftop to Nash Point. The poor remains of three cairns along the field wall just inland can just about be made out against the wall.
Nash Point	Promontory Fort / Cliff Castle	Wales	South Glamorgan	Visited	10th Oct 2018				Day out exploring the south Wales coast. Walk from Monknash down to the beach and then along the clifftop to Nash Point. Several rows of banks and ditches remain in good condition defending what is left of this clifftop promontary, now well eroded by the sea into a fairly narrow area.
Cae'r-Eglwys Long Cairn	Long Barrow	Wales	Mid Glamorgan	Visited	21st Sep 2019				Lumpy bumpy ground on a slight slope in the car park at Nash Point, thought to be the remains of a long cairn.
Andover Museum of the Iron Age	Museum	England	Hampshire	Visited	23rd Aug 2019				I particularly liked the Lego model of an Iron Age hillfort situated in front of the Roman Fullerton Mosaic, which was found in the main room of a Romano-British villa in the nearby village of Fullerton. The centre piece to the mosaic is the god Mars in his role as protector of agriculture.

It's really moving sat here, just where people would have been sat... Read More

The nearby Café du Dolmen is also closed, and a few old chaps sit nattering in the shade of a small shelter on the square. Di... Read More

Nicely looked after, its a shame I am too late for the daffodils.
Hendraburnick Quoit	Chambered Cairn	England	Cornwall	Visited	13th Sep 2014	2	3	4	Visited this site yesterday, and remarkably found it very easily, although an episode with a gate caused much amusement. Other than seeing details here, could only find notes which call it a disputed site. First thoughts are blimey, its a big old longbarrow with fallen chamber at SE end. Second thou... Read More
Sittaford Stone Circle	Stone Circle	England	Devon	Visited	11th Jun 2014	2	5	2	With the weather turned nice, I took a day off work to walk out to the newly found Sittaford Tor stone circle, starting out from Fernworthy Reservoir.

Perhaps my camera was left in my tent as we visited it on a day ride out from Oude... Read More
