I think I've only visited 2 new sites this year! Probably 3 sites in total, including the old favourite, Avebury.
Flowerdown Barrows - impressive site in an unlikely setting! By which I mean it's butted up against a residential area. Or rather they're butted up against the barrow. ;) But a lovely site worth several revisits! With the added bonus of just about the only standing stone I know of in Hampshire. http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/3265/flowerdown_barrows.html
The Longstone of Mottistone - Somewhere I've meant to visit so many times but have *just* missed out on! A great surprise to me. It was LOADS bigger than I expected. A magnificent sight in a great location, at the top of quite a hill. Feels like a bit of a pilgrimage. Would definitely make the effort to visit again and again. http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/292/longstone_of_mottistone.html
Happy Christmas! :)
