Boy this has been a difficult task and probably like most of us I have had to think long and hard on this one.

I have considered sites that made the biggest impact when I first saw them, how good the site was in terms of atmosphere, the journey to it and also how much I want to go back. Believe it or not after my 'out of hours' visit in December 2008, Stonehenge was a big contender but fails on so many other fronts...anyway I digress so I will get on with it...

So in reverse order

At number three:
During a fine walk with some fellow TMA'ers in 2007 among a number of site we visited this one has stood out in my mind. I immediately wanted one in my garden it was so perfectly formed and definitely want to go back and see it again when I am in Cornwall next. The best little barrow in my book is Bosilliack Barrow

At number two:
For just being a fantastically fine example, location, peace and quiet and for being a little scary my vote for favourite Long Barrow goes to Stoney Littleton

At and Number One:
A site that meets all my criteria, it is remote, it has scenery, the track to it, the flora and fauna, it is just simply the best site I have every visited. My favourite Stone Circle and all time favourite Prehistoric site is Swinside/Sunkenkirk

Please note the above may change should I visit other places at any time in the future.
