Trørød Skålsten 1

A large boulder on the forest floor that contains up to at least 12 confirmed cup marks carved into is surface. Some of the cup marks are clearly visible in person while others aren't so clear, but can be felt when brushing your finger over the surface of the stone.

Kaser Menhir

A main 70cm tall menhir with some smaller standing stones around it. Located in the Niedertal valley from Vent-Ötztal to the Hauslabjoch, where Ötzi the prehistoric ice man was found, so probably from around his time. Nearby this menhir is much more to see.

Goldsborough Rigg 1.

A large boulder with 15 cup-marks, some of them with single rings. The panel was recorded as GR 1 by P. and B. Brown (2008) and as Goldsborough 1 by Beckensall and Laurie (1998).

Menhir Líšno

An interesting and lesser known standing piece of quartzite in the bend of the road north from the village of Líšno, Bohemia. The stone is 120 cm tall and has a well visible carving of a cross on its eastern side. It could be a medieval cross stone but it could also be a prehistoric menhir.

Farley Moor Stone

New Time Team investigate the Farley Moor Stone and it does look to be part of a prehistoric complex. Unfortunately the area is under threat from a holiday park development. More on both in the comments including the link to watch the new episode. Standing stone on Farley Moor, Derbyshire, on Forestry Commission land, now cleared. Marked on 1st edition of the O.S 1:2500 map.
John Barnatt and Frank Robinson visited in 2003 and thought it to be prehistoric due to its location and weathering.
Now confirmed as the 3rd largest standing stone on the eastern gritstone moors.

Mezhyrich

In 1965, a farmer dug up the lower jawbone of a mammoth while in the process of expanding his cellar. Further excavations revealed the presence of 4 huts, made up of a total of 149 mammoth bones. These dwellings, dating back some 15,000 years, were determined to have been shelters known to have been constructed by pre-historic man, usually attributed to Cro-Magnon. Also found on the site: a map inscribed onto a bone, presumably showing the area around the settlement remains of a "drum", made of a mammoth skull painted with a pattern of red ochre dots and lines amber ornaments and fossil shells.

Arena di Verona

Located in the charming Piazza Brà, the Roman amphitheatre is the main tourist attraction in Verona, and it is still used today mostly as a musical venue. The most recent study attributes the Arena to the Julio-Claudian era (14-54 AD). The size and complexity of the structure made it an important predecessor in planning the Coliseum, begun in 80 AD. The structure was deliberately situated outside the city walls but within easy reach along all major roads, in order to avoid potential disorders in the crowded city centre. According to tradition, the arena served as the inspiration for Dante's "circles of Inferno"

Lystyn Uchaf Scheduled Enclosed Hut Group

The site is situated on a platform/shelf on an otherwise westerly sloping pastoral field. Coflein has recorded the site as dating from the Iron Age. I identified three hut circles within an irregular rectangular enclosure that meets a field boundary wall on its NE side.
The sloping ground of this field and the adjacent fields show signs of levelling that may have accommodated further huts. A very interesting settlement site within a landscape abundant in ancient sites. [See our nearby sites list or map from this page for more - MegP Ed]

Vridsløse Langdysse

A Langdysse (Long Barrow) in Sorø with 14 kerbstones and two 2 free standing stones in the middle which are perhaps the remains of a chamber.

Roman Milestone (Ratcliffe)

According to the Milestone Society this is a Roman Milestone and associated wayside cross. The NLS shows "remains of cross" at this location. Located at the junction with the B5272 Ratcliffe Wharfe Lane, opposite Forton Hall Farm, on the grass verge on the east side of the road.
