Prehistoric Portugal<p>For <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/StandingStoneSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StandingStoneSunday</span></a> here's a mystery - not the usual prehistoric kind, but one of modern making! The ornately carved menhir seems to be in two places at once.

Ulla Rajala<p>Boscawen-Ûn is a stone circle near St Buryan in Cornwall. It has nineteen upright stones in an ellipse with a leaning middle stone. There is a west-facing gap in the circle. The ellipse has diameters 24.9 and 21.9 metres. The central stone has a feet or axe petroglyph. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/StandingStoneSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StandingStoneSunday</span></a></p>
Kevin Wilbraham<p>The Callanish IV Stone Circle (also known as Ceann Hulavig) on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides.

Emma Cox<p>Tregeseal stone circle - a heavily reconstructed Neolithic/early Bronze Age circle. A second stood adjacent but is mostly lost. A third potential circle or burial chamber is also noted by crop marks.

Ulla Rajala<p>Flagstones was found near Dorchester in Dorset in the 1980s. It was formed of a 100-metre diameter circular ditch with pits, perhaps an earthwork bank. There was at least four burials in the pits. It is dated to 3200 BC and could be a model for Stonehenge. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/StandingStoneSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StandingStoneSunday</span></a></p>
