The Great Stone Circles – How They Work Part 16. Types of Goddess Stone
Submitted by JACKME on Monday, 01 September 2008 (277 reads)
Stonehenge The Great Stone Circles – How They Work Part 16. Types of Goddess StoneThis Stone is the most like a human figure that I have found in UK. It appears to be facing the Midsummer sunrise, but I have not seen this happen. I saw a better one in the Alepo Museum, Syria, but was not allowed to photograph it. However it makes a good starting point for this request for help in locating any other likely stones.

Photo Pages: Maen Castle

Megaliths in England Maen CastleCliff castle in Cornwall

This small rocky headland is the site of one of the oldest cliff castles on the Cornish coast. On the landward side it was defended by a substantial stone wall, ditch and counter-scarp bank. The ditch is deepest on the northern side of the headland, where the counter-scarp bank is revetted with large granite blocks. The stonework of the narrow entrance still stands, and just outside the gateway lies one of the former gate jambs.

Photo Pages: St Levan's Well
Submitted by JimChampion on Saturday, 30 August 2008 (1578 reads)
Megaliths in England St Levan's WellSituated on the southern coast of Cornwall, above the beach at Porth Chapel: this is probably the most spectacularly placed well in Cornwall.

The site was first recorded by Borlase in the mid-18th century, when it had a roof. The undressed stonework has been compared to a typical 'Cornish hedge'. More recently the well has been restored by the addition of a protective wall on the northern side.

Megaliths in England Dyrham CampDyrham Camp, otherwise known as Hinton Hillfort, is not so much a hillfort, but more a promontary fort, on a southwest facing spur of the Cotswold Hills north of Bath. Basically triangular in shape, it is cut into two by the little road up the hillside from the village of Hinton below.

Megaliths in England Carn Lês BoelPromontory fort in Cornwall

A small and very exposed Iron Age promontory fort or "cliff castle" in a spectacular setting. There are the remains of a shallow ditch and bank on the north side of the promontory. Two large stones, one still standing, are presumably mark the entrance to the fort. There are no traces of settlement (hut circles, for example) within the defended area.
