Devil's Quoit (Stackpole)

Standing stone 1.7m tall in the Stackpole Warren nature reserve. Lots of other interesting stones and settlements around here. It is thought to stand on the site of a circular timber structure that burnt down around 1395 BC. Though it now stands alone, the stone probably formed part of an arrangement of smaller stones. About 940 BC a cremation burial was added to the earlier monument. The site was reused in the Iron Age and Romano-British period.

Gumfreston Holy Wells

A very evocative site in Pembrokeshire (Sir Benfro) arising below the medieval church, down a small lane off the road to Tenby. The wells were said to be of different qualities - one pure, one sulphur and one chalybeate. Coflein say: The proximity of the wells to the church suggests this is an example of a Christian site chosen in the Dark Ages to absorb an earlier pagan well-cult.

Stebno Stone Cross

A massive monolithic stone cross, in a beautiful setting on the ridge above the Stebno pond in Bohemia, Czech Republic. It is said to be a medieval propitiatory cross, although its true origin is unknown. Taking into account that this region is labelled as the centre of "local megalithic culture", it could also be a much older monument, later Christianised.
