#TombTuesday & you've got to feel sorry for the Hell Stone
Pretty much the only Dolmen of its kind in Dorset, branded as the most evil place possible😈🔥
...and as best we can determine, reassembled incorrectly by antiquarians

Castle Hill Henge, Muir of Ord, is now the 13th green on the golf course .... I can only imagine the original neolithic builders would question it's current use as much we question their design .... #TombTuesday?

#TombTuesday and this is a headscratcher

The signs say 'Seven Barrows' but ...there's very clearly at least 9 - more like 10 if you count the nearest as a double
(and numerous others in the fields around)
