Hi everyone,

Sorry about the long long long delay with the results...I've had a lot of work pressures lately so haven't been doing too much online.

Well, we had 31 voters and 71 sites voted for. Unfortunately 60 of the 71 only received 1 vote so I'm not going to list them all here but you can browse as you like on the original thread which can be found here:

http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/forum/?thread=56454&offset=25

32 English sites were voted for.
17 Scottish sites were voted for.
11 Irish sites were voted for.
4 Welsh sites were voted for.
3 French sites were voted for.

Italy, Menorca, and Malta also had a site each voted for.

6 sites in Devon, England were voted for.
5 sites in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and Cornwall and Wiltshire in England were voted for.
4 sites in Cork, Ireland were voted for.

Every other county received 3 votes or less...the vote was pretty spread out.

And now to the results...

5th place - 60 sites were tied here and to avoid this being a huge post I won't list them.

4th Place - There are 8 sites tied in 4th with 2 votes each. These are:

Sunkenkirk, Stone Circle, Cumbria, England.

Phew...glad I've finally done that.

Thanks for that and your hard work. I'm sure you agree that really every site is in first place!

Thank you for all that work, Standing Stone :) I suppose that we could continue and vote on the voted (yikes!), but that result seems - to me anyway - to be as decent a representation as any. First past the post and all that ;) It’s also nice to see my three highly parochial choices boosting Cork over the bar. Thanks Mustard, for the extra couple of feet.

...How the hell did I do that? Must have pressed the submit button twice. Sorry.

Thanks also Standing Stone, I'm glad to see Stoney Littleton came in third; perhaps for its tranquillity...

Excellent work! Really appreciated!

I'm sure nobody can be upset by the results... It's good the 1st, 2nd & 3rd places were clear cut as well!

An interesting experiment, I think.

Cheers, matey!

Thanks very much for getting this together SS!

I've yet to visit any of the Top 3 (which clearly needs to be put right!).

No Cornish sites, sadly (be interested to know which Cornish site got the most votes by the way).

Good work TSS.

Did I miss it, or was Stonehenge not at all in the running ;-)

What a surprise: Callanish and Castlerigg. I wish I'd placed a bet now...
