Hiya

I'd say Burnt Edge Stone Row and Circle which can be found at SD666127
and also Sugarloaf Hill, which you have re-added, shouldn't be on here.

Sugarloaf is a small hill and I'm uncertain as to why it is classified as sacred... Burnt Edge Stone Row is certainly a row of stones, but given it looks unlike any stone row I've seen (or seen pictures of), I doubt its authenticity. I was also unable to find/see the circle...

Of course, thats just my opinion.

Ps Brown Stones? Weren't there piccies on that originally, or did BG/SL take them down as well?

Hi Jamie

Burnt Edge was defianately one in question and Thurstones was in doubt too. I'd not heard any objections to sugarloaf being on before i think if my memory serves me right there was a standing stone at the foot of this hill and a lot of fairy folklore is attatched to it as well.
Im hoping within the next few weeks to visit all of these sites or if some other peeps would like to sooner thats great.
I'll do a bit of research on sugarloaf and see what turns up. I'm happy to take the sites off if there are any objections. I just thought it would be nice to take a fresh look at these sites before they were last forever. Thanks for the comments which ones did you visit then?
