@spiddly.bsky.social“The stones hath fallen a sacrifice to the wretched ignorance and avarice of a little village, unluckily plac'd within it.”
William Stukeley’s (1687-1765) observation on the destruction of Avebury, between 1719-1724.
@bridgesvictoria.bsky.socialI’m always reminded of the 6 inch Stone Henge in the first Spinal Tap film when I pass the real thing on the A303. Somehow, for such a significant site, it can feel quite small. And at the same time, I awed by its beauty and mystery and the fact that it remains - 6000 years on

@hookland.bsky.socialThe Long Neolithic lives as call to mystery, call to wonder. Whether we respond to those calls as archaeologists, ley hunters or stone pilgrims – we respond with stories. The Long Neolithic tithes in narrative. With typology or folklore, we all pay our dues. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

@stirlingfellow.bsky.social“Did they sacrifice to God here?" asked Tess.
"No," said Angel.
"Who to?"
"I believe to the sun. That lofty stone set away by itself is in the direction of the sun, which will presently rise behind it."

@adammarkham.bsky.socialJust one of the beauties from the Ring of Brodgar on Mainland, Orkney for #StandingStoneSunday. The strip of heath behind is the deep, rock-cut surrounding ditch. #WorldHeritage
@geolocate.bsky.socialI recall noticing it years ago, might even have taken a snap, past it again recently. It's by the Shinagag~Blair Atholl (estate) road. The SS has been recorded (www.trove.scot/activities/1206564). Oddly not marked on any early maps 🧐 ?? 📷 mine.

@uncannycornwall.bsky.socialThe grand Nine Maidens stone row. Every stone is a geological wonder, each a mini ecosystem of lichens and moss.

@scrufftyguy.bsky.socialStanton Drew, Somerset, Sept. 2026. Three circles are present at Stanton Drew (including the Great Circle, the second largest in UK). Nearby, The Cove is handily located in the beer garden of The Druid’s Arms. #StandingStoneSunday #Somerset #StantonDrew @stoneclub.bsky.social @megalithic.bsky.social

@frenchmegaliths.bsky.socialThe menhir of La Croterie in Chauvé (Loire-Atlantique) is 4.2m tall and 3.5m wide at the base of the broad face. A recumbent stone behind may have been a twin or may never have stood. Card by Chapeau in Nantes. #StandingStoneSunday.
