The view down to Kilmartin from the cairn

The surface of these stones after the heavy downpour was stunning

The remains of a possible cairn sit right by the standing stone

The entrance

Black Combe as seen from Birkrigg Common, just above the Druid’s Circle of Ulverston.

Opposite the monument is this small limestone plateau which must have played an important part in the rituals associated with the site.

The nearest cairn to the circle.

In the Clynnog churchyard. The sundial mentioned in The Modern Antiquarian can be found at the back of the church, with another large stone beside it. According to Cope the church is built on megalithic foundations. I do not know the history of this large boulder which lies outside the main entrance to the church.

“Like a megalithic bus stop” according to Mrs IM.
