Boddington Camp

Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Buckinghamshire)

Boddington Camp submitted by Andy B on 20th Dec 2010. Boddington Banks looking east.
While this picture gives a good idea of what has survived, two thousand years ago the bank would have been higher and topped by a palisade, while the ditch would have been deeper and with steeper sides.

Site Type: Hillfort
Country: Wales (Ceredigion)
Visited: Yes on 12th Oct 2010
Castell Goetre submitted by Andy B on 12th Oct 2010. Castell Goetre (Possibly from Goed-Tref or 'settlement in the wood') is an Iron Age hill fort on the ridgeway between the Teifi and Dulas valleys. It is located in the northwest of this square and extends into SN6051 to the north.
The fort, now populated by sheep and home to a small reservoir, consists of an oval banked and ditched enclosure with a cross-bank through the centre, possibly part of an earlier phase. From ground level it appears much eroded but in places is still well defined, as ...

Tregeseal East
Date Added: 18th Jan 2011
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 17th Sep 2010. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
Tregeseal East submitted by Andy B on 24th Mar 2010. Photo from June 2009. The cattle were supposed to trample down the bracken but only ate the grass within the circle, destabilising several stones that, after we reported it to the Historic Environment Service in Truro, had to be secured. The HES then organised a manual cutting of surrounding bracken to give the cattle more space away from the circle!
So far this is the only major site to be affected, others not yet being grazed although it is planned to do this at Men-an-Tol and Lanyon Quoit.
