| Not that we saw, but looking at aerial photos on Coflein they may be up towards the top of the ridge if there are any. We didn't climb up, which I feel a bit irritated by now - I think it warrants a proper trip all of its own. |

Not surprised you missed it, Carl. I have to admit I walked right by on my first attempt... thought the same as you. Ploughed out. Then I saw the aerial pic on Coflein and went back the same week. Had to. |

| Tell you what though, it sounds like a brilliant site, before most of it disappeared (perhaps the cairn and other stones followed the horse and rider). |

Ha ha, thanks! Feels like we missed an opportunity really, we didn't make it across to Outer Head over Devil's Bridge, on account of fatigue/leg-ache. Poor show, must go back. |

It must have been very taxing, numbering all those monuments, OK, so that's monument 181, what shall we call this one ? Ive only ever heard of two Audrey's, Hepburn and Hollander, do not search for the latter. |

No, none whatsoever, other than continuing your theme. Just thought 'Audrey', in particular, a much better name for an ancient monument than Monument 234. |

Any particular reason why ? Have you been watching reruns of Howards way ? I also nominate, Hamble and Jemima, but not Humpty, its a daft name. |

Wade's Stone (South) / Fieldnotes by fitzcoraldo |

Got to see this this morning. Impressive, and with its sparkly bits slightly reminiscent of the Stonehenge bluestones. We got there just as the farmer's wife was closing the gate so were able to ask if we could walk over to see it. No problem, though she said we'd better leave our bags in the car in case the sheep thought we'd come to feed them! The packing stones at the base are no longer there but at least the stone is now back in position. |

When you do find monuments 1 - 274, I nominate number 172 to be called 'Mick' and 234, 'Audrey'. |

| Woman of the big house whose grandfathers possibly owns the land the tomb is on invited me in for tea, lovely people, met folks from two of the three houses there and they couldn't be more helpful, I had to decline the offer as would have had to hang around for 45 minutes and had a fair bit to cover on the way home, apologise for me if any of you visit the site |

Paviland Cave / Fieldnotes by thesweetcheat |

Many thanks everyone, I'm glad you enjoyed the notes, although the cave deserves better, I don't have the words to do the feelings justice. I hope they maybe inspire a few more people to visit for themselves. It was an afternoon visit (getting on for 2 o'clock when we got to the cave itself). I've posted a link to the tide times, which hopefully will help anyone visiting. |

As you can imagine, very very jealous. Was it a morning visit ? what time was it ? Just wondering for future reference, do tide times change over a year or from year to year ? Very jealous, in an ideal world i'd have been ages ago, oh well, it's still on the list. One day. |

| Just read this A ... sounds absolutely wonderful. Made me realise what I have been missing by not visiting TMA in recent weeks. An inspiring write-up. |

| Brilliant fieldnotes. Was reading about the Red 'lady' just the other night in Ronald Huttons Pagan Religions of the Ancient British Isles. Great stuff. |

Sounds like I missed the inner enclosure Mr G. Mind you, that's not very surprising as the rain was coming down in sheets while I was at this site and it was hard enough to stand up in the wind! Luckily the weather improved as I moved on. Perhaps another visit required one day? Thanks for the info. |

| Thanks Robert, I can't recommend highly enough. If you even feel slightly like you want to, you really should go. The mini-scramble access from below will be no problem for you and the Mam C. Make sure you have plenty of time there, it's a great place to stop for a while. |
