The Underground Secrets of Stonehenge

[Senex]

Stonehenge is wonderfully fascinating. I remember watching a film in grade school and getting a chill up my spine when the sun rose just in the right spot. Still do.

I think Avebury is more impressive

Or Waylands Smithy
http://www.stone-circles.org.uk/stone/wayland.htm

This site lists all the stone circles, standing stones, henges, hillforts, burial chambers and barrows in the UK http://www.stone-circles.org.uk/

Bah, They've missed the small group of stones on the edge of Bicester, and the Longstone on the Isle of Wight.

Actualy I take back the 'All' Looking at their North Yorkshire Moors map there are a lot of things missing. Lets say it is a 'work in progress' that includes the 'major' sites.

I used to drive through Avebury occasionally for work. As someone who grew up with "Children of the Stones" it always raised the hairs on the back of my neck.

Yes, several missing from the Peak District.

The megalithic portal is pretty good for listing sites, and I seem to recall seeing something that Julian Cope is involved with.

For an offical list Pastscape http://www.pastscape.org.uk/ (somehow affiliated to English Heritage) is comprehensive (not just ancient monuments)
and the MAGIC database ( http://www.magic.gov.uk/) has this and SSSI information etc as well

Wow someone else who remembers 'Children of the Stones'

I know friends I was at school with who watched it but I seem to be the only one that remembers it.!

Was it any good? I downloaded it the other day but then spilled beer onto my laptop and cooked my HDD, lol

I haven't seen it since the 70s but I remember it being quite dark and creepy.

Bearing in mind it's kids TV really it was certainly a bit spooky, Iain Cuthbertson does good sinister. The ending was a bit daft (of course) . The theme music is properly chilling.

Sorry. I have to go now. The Druids have got me.

Sorry to necro this thread, but if anyone missed the two TV programmes that the thread was discussing, they are back on Youtube - and have been for some time.

No, that was the last universe. It was rebooted.
