Several small stones placed in ovals, each representing a grave. The graves are very close to one another. The short grass is yellow and the sky is light grey. At the horizon there’s a leafless grey wood.

One last treat for #standingstonesunday
One of the reclaimed stones from the undocumented stone circle, basking in afternoon sun. I’ll take a walk to the usc in a week or two, hopefully I’ll be able to spot something. I’ve included some more photos from today.

Enjoyed watching ‘Man on the Run’ last night so feels appropriate to include High Park stone for #StandingStoneSunday 🖤
Possible menhir standing above grass. Smaller stones are visible in the grass around the base of the stone.
I may have found a long lost #menhir during a trip up the Great Orme earlier. This stone at 53°20'20.6"N 3°52'00.6"W seems to fit the description of #Coflein NPRN 420360 coflein.gov.uk/en/sites/420... @megalithic.bsky.social @stoneclub.bsky.social #standingstonesunday

This week's offering for #StandingStoneSunday is this lovely pair in #Swinside Stone Circle, #Cumbria 📷 own

Originally standing in the grass verge of a road known as Water Street, two miles south of Margam on the road to Kenfig, and near the early church site of Eglwys Nunydd. A vertical Latin inscription is accompanied by two others in Irish ogham script. (1/2) 👇

Happy #StandingStoneSunday. The Hell Stone is a Neolithic chambered tomb on the South Dorset Ridgeway which dates back to around 5000 BC. Consisting of 9 sarsen stones and a capstone, local folklore says the devil threw it here from nearby Portland Isle. NB It’s pretty hard to find but worth it
I took a walk up to the ruined burial chamber at Sling this morning. On the way back I spotted this lovely little standing stone in a field. #StandingStoneSunday
