Fitzcoraldo, I just wanted to say, I really enjoyed your photos of potential shap avenue stones and nearby places. I could just imagine you sauntering through the landscape and muttering 'well look at that' when you spotted another potential candidate.

Howdo,
thanks for the kind words. I spent my solstice days mooching around East Cumbria. I had a good mooch around Shap and turned up quite a few potential avenue stones. I had a traipse over Crosby Ravensworth Common and checked out a few named stones and hut circles. I also had a mooch up around Moor Divock and think I've discovered a previously unreported circular setting.
The terrier had a good time, he discovered man-love with a lhandsome black spaniel belonging to the landlady of the Bulls Head in Shap.
The most bizarre discovery of the trip was a WWII mortar in a linear feature just north of the White Hag circle.

Would it be a good idea to emphasise in the photo descriptions that these photos are speculative? At the moment it might be perceived that these are definitely stones from a prehistoric avenue.
