Picture of moorland in front and fields in the background. In the moorland is a standing stone, comprised of three upright stones with a slab across the top. It is tall enough that a short person can stand underneath upright but a larger one would have to bend their head. For some reason, it is surrounded by cows. I’m sure they’re a particular type but all I can tell you is that they’re a gingery brown colour.

#StandingStoneSunday? Have a picture of my favourite, #LanyonQuoit - or as my kid called it when he was tiny, “turtle rock” because he thought it looked like a turtle with one leg fallen off (This isn’t a great angle to show that).
I’ve only ever seen cows there once in my life.

Each stretch of land gifted with stones is at some level enchanted. For the the Long Neolithic leaks impossible narratives, disrupts our sense of the now. It makes claim to the imagination. The stones are storytellers. The stones make us storytellers. – Dr. K Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

The Mein Hirion standing stones in Llanfechell, Anglesey, are a trio of prehistoric stones, likely Bronze Are, all roughly 2 meters high and arranged in a triangle on a low ridge. They lean towards each other and appear to be conversing. Mine, 10/08/23.

Found this strange little arrangement of stones deep in the woods. Strange how nothing is growing around it.
Mounting stone or something else?

The Seven Stones of Hordron, Derbyshire. A wonderful moorland circle with an indeterminate number of stones (whatever it is, it’s not seven). #StandingStoneSunday

A bit of a stretch for #StandingStoneSunday - but I've seen Chysauster posted before. A hazy video for #MothersDay of my babies (not so cute any more!) taken around 2008, I think. None of them have grown up to show any interest in archaeology.

I’ve got nothing for #standingstonesunday this week, as I’m visiting my mum for Mother’s Day.
How about some mysterious carvings, instead?
