Where I live is littered with ancient stones depicting the Jelly Baby Jesus.
Someone named Gilbart nabbed this one for their grave. But many ancient crosses were repurposed menhirs.

For #StandingStoneSunday have this photo taken a few days ago of my favourite stone from the Beaghmore Complex in Co. Tyrone.
There are 7 circles, 10 stone rows, and 12 cairns. It’s hard to convey how complex this Complex actually is, so you’ll just have to go and see it for yourself.
Ringmoor Down stone circle: On the top of the open moor that is Ringmoor Down, to the north of the better-known Brisworthy and its stone circle, this tremendous cairn circle and associated stone row are to be found, although they were "restored" in 1909 by Rev. Baring-Gould, supposedly not very accurately. Strange fact: Baring-Gould is better known as the author of the hymn 'Onward Christian Soldiers' and restored several other prehistoric sites on Dartmoor.

Another photo from last week in Dumfries and Galloway, looking past the cairn towards the sea.

Craig Halligarry cup and ring marked stone, high on the hillside overlooking the Strath of Kildonan in the highlands of Scotland. If you like old stones, this strath is a place of wonder.

Thirty meters apart, in a small forest : the Lesaff dolmen and menhir - Poullan sur Mer - June 16, 2025.
J'y ai croisé un groupe polonais d'étudiants et j'imagine de professeurs qui se baladaient à bicyclette.... Je les ai à nouveau croisés près de l'allée couverte.de Lesconil, toujours à Poullan.
The late Neolithic henge and circle of standing stones known as Bedd Arthur (‘Arthur’s Grave’) in the Preseli Hills, Pembrokeshire - located close to the source which provided Stonehenge with its bluestones.
