For completeness sakes, here are the two remaining circles of the Druid Stones complex above Penmaenmawr in #Gwynedd. Neither in great condition. The first is small (kerb circle?) and roughly to the east of the main circle, (seen on the horizon). The other is to the west. #StandingStonesSunday
Return visit after nearly 30 years to the atmospheric Druid Stones above Penmaenmawr, #Gwynedd. This is the largest of several circles. One of the most spectacularly located in the UK, with stunning views over to the Great Orme - which I got to enjoy on a perfect summer's day. #StandingStonesSunday
The last of my scans from the 1990s - the #Cumbrian marvel of Long Meg And Her Daughters, and the humbler Little Meg not far away. The spiral designs on Long Meg can clearly be seen. I got there just early enough to avoid (other) gawpers. Long overdue for a return visit. #StandingStonesSunday

Standing tall on a hilly ridge in the northern part of Portugal's Algarve, Vilarinha 2 is a gorgeous red sandstone menir, part of an alignment of four. Wave-like serpentiform carvings can still be seen (on the lower part of its left edge & centre).

The Barreira Megalithic Complex is a gorgeous site in the Lisbon district of Portugal. It *might* be a constructed stone circle, but archaeologists aren't sure. It's beautiful and has some gorgeous #StandingStones !

Barreira Megalithic Complex

This solitary menhir is one of hundreds in Portugal's Algarve. These are some of the oldest standing stones in Europe, dating back over seven thousand years.

The Menir do Padrão is one of a group, possibly a cromeleque. The others are scattered and broken - this one is the only standing member.
