  1. Another little play about with CapCut and some Stonehenge photos from various solstices and equinoxes (equinoxi? 😅) between 2022-25.

    Set to music: Stonehenge by The Poison Girls (of course!)

    Hope you like it 😊

  2. I am beyond excited to read this.
    Keep your Marvel blockbusters and Bond Premieres, your must-see series and TikTok ephemera - I'm about to be immersed in a world long gone and meet people I will care deeply about.

  3. Monmouthshire's only stone circle for today's #StandingStoneSunday

    Gray Hill circle is probably the remains of a cairn circle or kerbed cairn. There are two tall standing stone outliers heading uphill. The site has great views down to the Hafren/Severn.

    This visit June 2012.

  4. #TheHurlers #StoneCircle #BodminMoor #Cornwall A triple circle from the late #Neolithic or early #BronzeAge Legend says that the stones are petrified #Hurling players struck down for having a bit of fun on a Sunday because #god can't abide that type of thing.

  5. Blakeley Raise Stone Circle

    "On the surface of it a fairly typical Cumbrian Bronze Age stone circle but the story of the circle and even the stones themselves is rather murky.

    Sometime in the 18th century a local farmer is said to have dismantled some or all of a stone circle on land owned by 'Standing Stones' farm and reused them as gateposts. The farm is shown on both old and modern maps as standing just over a mile (1km) almost due south.

    The current stone circle was 'restored' in 1925 by a Dr Quine with the stones being set in concrete - how accurate the reconstruction was is not known"

    Looking back at some old photos. This is me at Long Meg--about twenty years ago! That spiral, tho...#Megalithic #StandingStones #StoneCircle #MegalithicMonday #StandingStone

  7. Can anyone recommend a stone circle, barrow or standing stone to visit, with kids, between #Edinburgh , #Glasgow and the #LochNess area in #Scotland ?

  8. Y Mynyddoedd Duon (the Black Mountains) in South Wales for today's #StandingStoneSunday

    The wrecked Pen y Beacon stone circle, situated at the foot of the summit of the same name (Hay Bluff in English). Only one sizable stone remains standing, although there are numerous smaller stones buried in the turf. Tremendous views and sometimes an ice-cream van.

    This visit May 2012 while walking Offa's Dyke Path.

  9. Hi Friends! 😊 New Organic and Melodic House mix with a chill vibe : youtu.be/VFcKE8qefK8

    It was recorded in the art installation Kamienny krąg (Stone Circle) in Bydgoszcz, Poland. Relax, and enjoy the sunset ! 🌄

  10. A rather ruined stone circle is a lovely location for today's #StandingStoneSunday

    Hafodty circle, on the slopes of Tal y Fan above the Conwy valley. Only three stones still stand, with another three fallen. However, it forms another part of the incredible complex of sites encircling Tal y Fan. It's also a favourite of sheep who like to use the stones for a good scratch.

    This visit in changeable weather, July 2011.

  11. Once we passed this #StoneCircle, I knew we were on the right track as it’s marked on the #OSMap. The journey from there was quite straightforward, although still another 5-6 km to go.

    The last leg of the journey was on a main road, without a separate footpath but just before getting onto that, I looked at the path we’d taken and also to the other side of Dartmoor.

  12. Hundreds of 7,000-year-old stone circles discovered in Saudi Arabia

    Archaeologists in Saudi Arabia have excavated eight ‘standing stone circles’ that date back 7,000 years and were likely used as homes. This significant discovery was made in the Harrat ‘Uwayrid lava field near the city of AlUla in northwestern Saudi Arabia...

  13. We recently revisited our #StrichenLoch - #StoneCircle route and have updated the guidance. Unfortunately, due to very badly overgrown paths near the stone circle we suggest only considering the complete circuit in winter, when the grass has died down. There are, however, many accessible paths to enjoy around and about Strichen Loch … 😀

  14. Here is the Stannon Stone Circle, nestled between streams on Dinnever Hill, 2.5 miles from Camelford. This ancient Cornish ring features 47 upright stones and dates back to the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age. Despite the nearby china clay works, its isolation adds to its charm. 🌿🗿 #Cornwall #History #AncientSites #ancientstonebothering #stonecircle #stannonstonecircle

  19. Legend has it that at Stanton Drew, a wedding party danced till midnight. When the fiddler refused to play on Sunday, the Devil took over. His music grew wilder, turning dancers to stone. #StantonDrew #PetrifiedDancers #Folklore #StoneCircle

  20. A black and white world for today's #StandingStoneSunday.

    Aviemore 'Clava' cairn; the remains of a kerbed cairn (which likely had a central mound and chamber), surrounded by a free-standing stone circle. It's in a neat little suburban setting now, with glimpses of the Cairngorm mountains beyond.

    This visit March 2011.

  21. #StandingStoneSunday
    Lots of stones today, at the Rollright Stones in Oxfordshire and Warwickshire. There are three monuments of different ages close together, straddling the county border.

  22. Golden winter light on the low stones of Bannau Sir Gaer stone circle for #StandingStoneSunday

    The circle is a bit trashed, but the exquisite backdrop of Y Mynydd Du's escarpment more than makes up for it.

    Visited February 2012 at the end of a walk along those tops.

  23. The Cullerlie Stone Circle near Echt, particularly fascinating because it doesn't fit the usual pattern of origin and purpose found across the many other stone circles in Aberdeenshire. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/ech
