I believe this is Cairn Holy II, but my notes are sketchy and it was 19 years ago! Taken by @mrowster with a point and shoot digital camera. We were basically using Julian Cope’s gazetteer in a Lithic Ticker sort of Grand Tour #StandingStoneSunday #scotland #neolithic #ModernAntiquarian

A young white woman with long red dreadlocks stands beside a large standing stone. The photo is slightly distorted in the gloaming, the distance appears to be spinning, the horizon blurs

Revisiting the memorial stone of the ‘last woman burned as a witch’ in Scotland in film and archival photos. (‘Janet Horne’ probably never existed but her myth persists because there were so many like her whose lives and deaths went unrecorded.)#AshesAndStones #ScottishWitches #Scotland #ScottishHighlands #FolkHorror #FeministHorror #WomenInHorror #SheWill #JanetHorne #ModernAntiquarian #Witch

An antique photograph in grainy black and white of a rural location. A well dressed family of a woman and three children, two boys and a girl all stand in back of a weathered stone in the ground, a small boulder which is now called the 'Janet Horne' memorial stone. Legend has it this spot represents the location where the 'last witch' was killed in Scotland. A long stone building and piles of lumber are in the background.

Swinside or Sunkenkirk #StoneCircle for #StandingStoneSunday. Taken by @mrowster with a point and shoot camera, about 20 years ago. #cumbria #neolithic #ModernAntiquarian

A photo of a stone circle with hills in the distance. The grass is a lush green colour. On one of the stones that has fallen down, I am laying-a white woman with long read dreadlocks in a denim jacket and jeans, and a striped scarf. I am looking up at the sky.

Unstan chambered cairn for #TombTuesday. This cairn has a skylight and a ceiling added in the 20th century. The graffiti, some dating from the 19th century, includes runic carvings that initially appear to be Norse but aren’t. #neolithic #archaeology #orkney #ModernAntiquarian #Megalithic #tomb #HollowHill

The modern stone circle at St Aidan's Nature Reserve, Leeds. Literally no rhyme or reason why it's there, and as such as enigmatic and inaccessible to us as something created thousands of years ago. But it certainly elicited a smile from me when I saw it, and there's something about how it sits in the landscape with the bulk of Oddball, the walking drag line excavator, looming over it that gives you pause.
