No stone circles that we know date from ice or earlier , the land rose higher than subsequent ice melt sea levels except in a few places ,Orkney is one , where there are some possible early monuments under sea water .Can only think of the coastal stone circles of Brittany which are under water .Are there Scottish ones ?


I'm mostly guessing, but there are cicles (Bernera Bridge Circle?) which sure LOOK like there used to be more of it, and some islands were connected.
Surely lots of the ages on these things are guesses anyway?! How is most of it estimated? Based on other variables around the site? Thats the point with Yonaguni and the temples off the coast of India. If they could be explored fully then minimum ages could be better established.
