People often ask us for our recommendations of favourite sites. It's very difficult to pick our own favourites, as there are so many, so here is a fairer way!
We've compiled this list using the number of web sites that feature a particular megalithic/prehistoric site. In a way this is a vote of popularity, as if people like a site they will take a photo and add it to their web site.
Here's the rundown pop-pickers :-)
