Another one from the archive...Pair of standing stones at Lyn Down (above Lynton), North Devon. The coast of South Wales can just be seen in the distance.
In answer to your question Wildspirit they are usually thought to be connected with some sort of religion or ritual (as are stone circles) but it is hard to be sure. It is also hard to date them - probably at least 3,500 years old. What is sure is that they were hard work to put up and that they are still beautiful!
Great info .. After seeing Aotearoa Stonehenge I nabbed my brother in laws book Stonehenge Decoded interesting but of course written from one viewpoint and in the mid 1960's, but definitely interesting about the amount of man hours involved and info about barrows and other circles.
Were they meant to act as time pieces. Looks to be mid afternoon judging by the colour of the light. I'm petrified by landscapes like this, seems bleak, but still on the green side.
