I am one of those archaeologists happy to talk about orthostats having a presence. You know when you are in their zone of influence. I'd even happily entertain alternative lithic measuring units such as folklore per foot, spirits per stone. – Dr. K Brophy

I’ve been looking forward to introducing you to the standing stones of Båstad (Skåne, Sweden of course)… In a lovely wooded grove. Probably raised during the Iron Age, over burials from that period. More 1/

Rowtor Rocks in Derbyshire is an unusual place, natural rocks formations carved into mystical shapes in the late 18thc. But it seems to have been an important site much earlier, with Bronze age carvings, like this rare quarter-sun, still visible on the stones
