  1. Spinsters' Rock, near Chagford, Dartmoor, Devon

    Best surviving example of a dolmen or cromlech in Devon, built around 4500-5500 BP. After the stones collapsed in 1862, they were re-erected the same year.

    Name refers to the legend that three spinsters (in the occupational sense) were waiting for their woollen cloth to be collected one morning before breakfast and whiled away the time creating this arrangement of stones.

  6. The burial chamber at Lligwy, #Anglesey, was once the home of a #witch. Thrown off a ship for some mischief or other, a fisherman rescued her and she asked him to take her to the #cromlech. There she gave him a charm made of snakeskin which brought him good luck all his life. #TombTuesday #folklore

  7. [#Orientation de #mégalithes] Le site de #NabtaPlaya en Haute Egypte abrite de nombreuses structures mégalithiques tel ce cercle de pierres ou #cromlech daté de 4800 BC et doté d'une double orientation astronomique.

    L'un des deux axes principaux pointe en direction du #nord, l'autre en direction de la position de #lever du #Soleil le jour du solstice d'été (~31 juillet). L'un et l'autre axes sont matérialisés par des pierres levées.

  10. A beautiful little stone circle in central Portugal: Cromeleque das Fontainhas. Conveniently just off the main road... but quiet and peaceful!

  15. Tombstone Tuesday. There is a field I passed by most of my life Maybe 30 or 40 times a year currently, but probably most days when I was a child. From the road I could see some type of Dolmen in the field. I often thought “I should check that out sometime”. On Saturday I finally did. #Tomb #Tombstone #TombstoneTuesday #AncientStone #Ancestors #Dolmen #PortalTomb #Monument #Cromlech #Ballybrack #Dublin #Ireland #Mastodaoine #BCE #photography #foto

  20. Van korrel tot borrel. Mooie reportage op RTV Drenthe over de Cromlech whisky van de Drumlin distillery uit Havelte, met initiatiefnemer Erik Poutsma.
    Cromlech is de naam van de nieuwe Drentse whisky. "Dat is Keltisch voor hunebed", legt de Havelter stoker uit.
    Wij hebben daar ook een fles liggen van de first batch 😀.
