The Megalithic Portal
Maen Llia: June 11th 2025 - the moon rise at the major southern lunar standstill aligns with Maen Llia and the stone row leading from it despite a strip of cloud which tried its best to hide the moon. Maen Llia Standing Stone is an elegant and imposing standing stone which is impressively situated in a remote position at the top of the Llia valley, along which it points directly north to south. It is a massive slab of a stone 3.8 metres in height, 2.8 metres across but only 0.

Silbury Hill: A detailed article, linked below on how the hole in the top of this iconic monument was discovered 25 years ago, and later repaired at great expense. Don't climb the hill. The largest prehistoric human-made mound in Europe, Silbury Hill is 39m (128ft) high, covers an area of 2.2 ha (5.5 acres) and is estimated to have taken 18 million working hours to construct. 📷 Pete Glastonbury More:
Later, a showcase was placed over the hole, leading to the stone's existence being forgotten
until its rediscovery in 2004, making it visible once more. 📷 Houdorf More: http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=62088
Ancient stone in Vor Frue church, Svendborg: A Bronze Age stone with cup-shaped pitting is located in the west facade of the tower of this Danish church, During the 1884 restoration, the stone could not be removed due to concerns for the tower's stability. When the facade was moved forward, the stone was almost hidden, so a hole was created to keep it visible. Initially, the stone was believed lost, prompting a search that yielded no results.
