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.

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....

I love the view over to Brightwell barrow from the there.

re place names, we once drove through a place called 'Meanus' in Ireland.
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.
