I thought about starting one about holed stones but after the phallic stone and the recumbent stones I didn't dare ;)..... I'm not old enough for this forum.

I do hope it has my pals' place on it, if not it ought to. It's just along a path from some nice rock art, and is a site which looks to have been inhabited since the year dot, rock art, standing stones, burnt mounds, earthworks etc. http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/9475/titlington_mount.html

If we are going to get childish what about 'Mother Dunch's Buttocks', another name for Wittenham Clumps, which I was looking up this morning. Rhiannon even gives the name an 18th provenance, a lady who planted the trees.... http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/528/wittenham_clumps_and_castle_hill.html

I'm sure it's probably pronounced 'Mean-us' but that didn't stop us imagining possible conversations. 'Where's Sean?', 'Oh he's up in Meanus' etc. It passed the time anyway.
