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

A photo of Sueno's stone with a large scene of a battle with horsemen, archers, spearmen and swordsmen.

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.

Colour image of a line of small standing stones in Barbrook 1 stone circle in the Peak District. Local griststone and none more than 50cm tall.

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.

A stone circle in the Peak District. The sky is clear and dark. This is an infrared photo.

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

This Pictish symbol stone from near Fortes is a beauty, despite the later graffiti on it…

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! 🪨♥️

I've just seen it's #StandingStoneSunday and I'm a bit rubbish at this as I didn't take a photo, but yesterday I drove along the road that runs between the Stones of Stenness and the Ring of Brodgar and they looked majestic as always in the dark grey rain-laden sky. #Orkney

A photo of a tall, sort of arrow-shaped, grey standing stone on a green hill of shortly-cropped grass. Distant rocky mountains form a jagged horizon profile. The sky is just white with clouds that graze the mountaintops. The image is eerie and otherworldly as, although a vast swathe of land is photographed and the land looks managed (the grass is short and there is a distant stone wall just visible) there are no people, no animals and no signs of human habitation - the stone is the only thing inhabiting this landscape.

Diesen Monolithen im Sonnenaufgang habe ich bei einer Pause auf der Heimfahrt von Italien entdeckt. Ich glaub es war in Kärnten.
