Honington Camp

A finely preserved Iceni ditch and banked enclosure on the salt marshes near Holkham, Lincolnshire. Access is poor as the area is a nature reserve, but a good view can be had from the high observation hide overlooking the marshes on the edge of the woods. The camp was also reputedly used by the Danes.

Annan Road Bronze Age Barrow Cemetery

A group of five Bronze Age barrows on a scrap of water meadow squeezed between the University of Essex and the railway line. Originally spotted by aerial photographs in 1948, the official monument record designates this site as 'a group of five round barrows within the floodplain of the River Colne and at the confluence with Salary Brook'. The mounds are just visible if you know where to look, and one currently lies beneath a derelict car park.

Projected menhirs, a hollowed menhir and stone rings, more from the museum on our page, thanks Aska!. The rescue and excavation of the Peinan Site led to the construction of the National Museum of Prehistory (NMP)

Hunnenstein Bad Dürrenberg

A boulder with interesting furrows and depressions in the shape of a hand, a horseshoe and a dog's paw. The shape of the stone is typical for a standing stone.

Malicas Domus de Janas

A Late Neolithic necropolis of rock-cut tombs (domus de janas) is located in the town centre of Galtelli, Sardinia.

U Cantonu statues-menhirs

These two eroded statue-menhirs have welcomed travellers at the entrance of Pila-Canale village in Corsica for thousands of years.

Graig Boeth Hut Circles

Situated within the Pennant Lliw moor and high to the south of the Afon Lliw this pair of hut circles lie in the shadow of Craig Boeth crag. Lying about 10m apart the hut circles occupy the high ground within an otherwise marshy landscape. There's a narrow stream to the west of them that meanders northerly to meet with the Afon Lliw.

Hügelgräberfeld Stendell

Barrow Cemetery south-east of the village of Stendell in Brandenburg. Most of the barrows are quite shallow and therefore not all of them are easily recognisable due to the vegetation. Forestry workers have left deep tracks on some of the barrows with their equipment.
In the northern part of the burial ground is an elongated stone that may be a fallen menhir. The cup-marked stone nearby is said to have been part of a stone circle, so it is possible that there were other menhirs there.
