[Suggestion: It might be useful if people reply to TSS's first post at the start of the thread, just to make it easy to see what's a vote.] Mine are: 1. Nine Maidens stone circle, Boskednan, Cornwall http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/239/nine_stones_of_boskednan.html 2. Tregeseal stone circle, Cornwall http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/241/tregeseal_stone_circle_and_carn_kenidjack.html 3. Doll Tor stone circle, Derbyshire http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/469/doll_tor.html This is really tough! Apologies to Gloucestershire too.

Just the three, eh? In many ways the old cliche is true.... every one's my favourite in some way. But here goes. 1) The Tursachan, Calanais For me, visually the most intoxicating site in the British Isles, particularly in pouring rain when the tourists have left for the day. http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/198/callanish.html 2) The Hingston Tor (Down Tor) 'circle and row Perfection....... with only the ponies for company. http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/1367/down_tor.html 3) Dun Ruadh Head to head with Bryn Cader Faner, and (I think) just pips it for me. http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/2524/dun_ruadh.html Can't believe there's no room for Boscawen-un, Ardgroom and White Moor....

I'd agree with Gladman. It's very difficult to separate three from the others. So, I've chosen the ones that I'd take someone to see if they were around with me, in the order that I'd take them. Each offers something unusual. I love them all. 1. Bohonagh (Stone Circle and Boulder Burial) http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/1027/bohonagh.html 2. Ballyroe (Boulder Burials) http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/12822/ballyroe.html 3. Last minute change of mind from Maulatanvally (Anomalous Stone Group) to Lettergorman South (Stone Circle) http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/3699/lettergorman_south.html Even though I'm sure of it and sure of my reasons for selecting it, the chance must remain that it is not prehistoric. It is, after all, anomalous. By including Lettergorman I keep the quartz - and a sly view across the valley to the former - but add a Winter Solstice alignment to the Equinox orientation at Bohonagh. And it's great. Sorted.
