Le menhir de la Thiemblais just outside the town of St-Samson-sur-Rance in Ille-et-Villaine in Brittany. It has relief carvings all over it, although they’re quite difficult to see except in certain lights. In my fourth picture, you can just make out a carving of a looped cross. It’s a very impressive stone weighing around 150 tonnes and at around 8 metres in length—despite the 45 degree angle!

What an absolute arse. The fine was too small and the sentence too short. #AncientMonument #StandingStone

Suddenly a burial mound appears, flanked on either side by a #StandingStone.
Great couple of nights hiking on #Dartmoor. Big rocks, misty hills, rain and shine, good food and mossy trees.

What visit to #Avebury is complete without taking a photo of this massive #StandingStone. This tall, masculine, pointy, 'willy' stone stands next to a huge feminine, round stone. My two favourites at the #Avebury #StoneCircle. #StandingStoneSunday #StandingStones

I am furious since I read about
this in the French Press - centralised France always talking about their sacred "patrimoine" and Carnac living from tourists interested in megalithic culture but somehow the unsurveyed mayor's office was more interested in destroying their past:
French Archaeologists Decry the Loss of 7,000-Year-Old Standing Stones on a Site That Was ‘Destroyed’ to Make Way for a DIY Store

A little stone in Bannau Brycheiniog for today's #StandingStoneSunday
Lower Neuadd stands in reedy grasses close to the Lower Neuadd reservoir, in the upper reaches of Cwm Taf Fechan (one of the sources of Afon Taf). There are some fine cairns further up the valley, as well as the magnificently placed monuments on the summits of Corn Du and Pen y Fan.
This visit on a very hot circuit of the mountains, May 2010. Portrait, needs a click.

A little standing stone in a terrific setting for today's #StandingStoneSunday
Mynydd Illtyd standing stone is less than a metre tall, but makes up for it with the backdrop of Pen-y-Fan and Corn Du, the highest summits in South Wales. (Portrait, needs a click)

Some consider that Cawdor #StandingStone is the last remnant of a once great Clava Cairn ..... maybe I'm alone in thinking this but I kept seeing a face in the conglomerate sandstone ? #StandingStoneSunday

Doory Stone Row, Dromod. One of the least known megalithic monuments on the Ring of Kerry, but one definitely worth visiting (and easy to find)

A visit to the North Yorkshire Moors for today's #StandingStoneSunday offering. This is Margery Bradley standing stone, on Flat Howe (portrait, needs a click).
Reused as a boundary marker, and incised with an Ordnance Survey benchmark, the large slab is likely Bronze Age and is close to Flat Howe round barrow.
Visited April 2010.
