Tremaenhir Standing Stones

Andy B — Sat, 19 Sep 2026 16:57:03 GMT

]]>A pair of standing stones in Pembrokeshire. The stone pictured is located at SM827263 and has the initials "J.G." carved into it with the date 1860 - details on our page, along with the other stone. It is handily located on the grass verge so you can walk right up to it or easily view from the road. The village name suggests there are three standing stones here. This is the second of two marked on the OS map.

A number of incised stones were found within the Abbey grounds; only the Sagranus Stone (pictured) is on display in the church - most are now displayed in the nearby Abbey Visitor Centre.

]]>The site of the only known crannog in Wales. A dug-out canoe found some 400 metres from the site and now in Brecon Museum (pics on our page) has been radio carbon dated to between 760 AD and 1020 AD suggesting an age for the site. There is a reconstructed crannog house created on an island some 70 metres from the original crannog which has display panels and a replica of the canoe.

]]>What was originally a neolithic chamber is now bizarre in appearance, consisting of a capstone apparently delicately balanced on just two tall pointed supporting stones. Although difficult to reach, the effort required is worthwhile.

A single round house stands on the hillside above Barmouth, better preserved than most of its neighbours, with a small building beside it and the faint lines of its fields around.

Ffordd Coleg Stone

RachelAmp — Sun, 23 Aug 2026 11:38:26 GMT

]]>Situated close to a crossroads of old trackways and yew trees on the edge of the village. I was struck by the fact that the stone remained preserved in someone's back garden though it just didn't seem to serve any aesthetic or other purpose there, almost looking awkward.
