Photo showing an array of people and vehicles at Stonehenge, captioned "Ancient and Modern: motor cars at Stonehenge, Easter 1899"; from 'The Exeter road: the story of the west of England highway' by Charles G. Harper
An early contribution to #StandingStoneSunday and one of the great Stonehenge photos IMHO: the Automobile Club's visit on Easter Saturday 1899, "the first motorcars that have ever reached that hoary Druidical temple on the windy downs of Wilts". Note the steam charabanc, and a photobombing horse.
A cropped version of maxmoran@bluesky.social’s picture of the inscribed stone from Castell Dwyran, with indentations on the top and left edge showing a bit of the ogham inscription circled in blue.
A drawing of the Castell Dwyran stone, originally published in Macalister’s Corpus Inscriptionum Insularum Celticarum vol. 1, but here from Mullen and Woudhuysen, eds., Languages and Communities in the Late-Roman and Post-Imperial Western Provinces, p. 30.
Lovely #StandingStoneSunday picture, this looks like a nice exhibit!
To clarify the inscriptions, the text beneath the cross is in a Latin script. The ogham inscription - an artificial Irish form of Voteporix (see work by @davidstifter.bsky.social) - is just visible around the edge of the stone.

The Stones of Stenness #Orkney taken in 2022 on a stormy winter's day.
Originally 12 stones stood here but only 4 remain. The circle is located on the edge of the isthmus between Harray and Stenness lochs by the #Neolithic village of Barnhouse.

Stood at Cwrt Dafydd farm, south of Margam, where they were found reused to form a footbridge across a stream. They are known as 'cart-wheel' crosses, and so named from the radial form of the cross head, like the wheels of a cart. 10thC.

It's not much, but I'm proud of my first step into exploring photogrammetry & heritage as a part of my @artscouncilengland.bsky.social project. Here's the tallest stone of Barbrook I stone circle. Thanks to @artfletch.bsky.social for the GIF help! skfb.ly/pHUAW #StandingStoneSunday #Derbyshire

The other side of the stone with a large ellaborate Celtic cross with a scene at the bottom that has been interpretted as a coronation.
Sueno's Stone is a 6.5 metre tall 9th-10th century #Pictish stone near Forres, annoyingly there's a hell of a lot of different historical events that the stone could be representing.
The stone gets its name from Sweyn Forkbeard, whos association to the stone is highlt doubted.

It's #StandingStoneSunday again! Here's a section of Barbrook 1 stone circle here in the Peak District. The vast majority of circles here have modest sized stones in them. Some visitors are disappointed at this.

Nine Stones Close.
Yes, there are only 4 stones. Folklore offers an explanation. "Nine" is a corruption of "noon", said to be the time of day when fairies would gather to dance around the circle.

A revisit to this gorgeous tiny stone circle in Winterbourne, Dorset, with a diametre of 8 m. You have to walk though thick woods to get to it. #EnglishHeritage says it ‘resembles a huddle of ancient conspirators’ and I like that. Mine, 2024

Cup and Ring stone at Gardom's Edge, Derbyshire for #StandingStoneSunday The actual stone is now buried beneath this fibreglass replica to protect it from weathering. Photos taken on a visit in Nov 2025. I'm hoping to get back to this magical place very soon! 🪨♥️
