Virtuous Well

Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: Wales (Monmouthshire)
Visited: Yes on 4th Sep 2006
Virtuous Well submitted by AngieLake on 4th Sep 2006. The Virtuous Well in bottom right-hand corner, showing the position of Trellech church. The gate to the field is behind me here.
The sign reads:"The Virtuous Well.
Once known as St Ann's Well and famous for its cures. It was visited by many pilgrims as late as the seventeenth century. It is said to be four separate springs, three containing iron and each curing a different illness. Its niches held offerings and cups. Stone seats gave rest to the weary traveller."

Carreg Samson, Abercastle
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Yes on 25th Oct 2004
Carreg Samson, Abercastle submitted by AngieLake on 25th Oct 2004. Carreg Sampson in Pembrokeshire stands in such a lovely position that it is usually photographed from the most picturesque angle, showing the bay and distant Strumble Head. This time it is viewed from its longer SE side, giving a better idea of the size, and slope of the capstone. (From memory, the capstone sloped up towards the NE, and Strumble Head.)

Trecastle Mountain ENE
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 6th Nov 2005
Trecastle Mountain ENE submitted by AngieLake on 6th Nov 2005. This stone is the same one featured on this site page by SEM, when he explains how nearby stones seem to form an avenue leading to the main circle at Y Pigwn. Dowsing, when SEM showed me the area at the end of July, confirmed this. This stone (seen here looking across the NW avenue route towards NE) actually dowsed as the left-hand one of a pair of huge portals at the beginning of flatter ground on which the circle stands. The other huge stone used to stand near the tussock of grass above it i...

Gwernvale

Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 16th Oct 2007
Gwernvale submitted by AngieLake on 16th Oct 2007. A reconstruction of the appearance of Gwernvale from 'The Brecon Beacons National Park' [Countryside Commission Official Guide] by Roger Thomas, Webb & Bower (Michael Joseph), 1987.
What fascinated me was the arrangement of posts at the 'false entrance' in the horned forecourt, as I always get three or four 'rod-openings' [ie: my L-shaped rods open at right-angles to each other] on final approach to the 'entrance' during ritual movement dowses at chambered tombs.
Here, it says the posts are ...

Old Radnor Church
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 5th Jul 2008
Old Radnor Church submitted by AngieLake on 5th Jul 2008. Tim - this is for you! The old font in Old Radnor church that is believed to come from a megalithic stone - "probably the largest and oldest font in Britain" (quote from an old 'Red Guide' to Wales).
On the day I visited (6th June 08), volunteers were cutting the grass in the churchyard, so maybe that was why the door to the church was open?

Hindwell Enclosure
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Timber Circle
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 9th Aug 2008
Hindwell Enclosure submitted by AngieLake on 9th Aug 2008. NB: Copyright: Rodney Castleden from his book 'Britain 3000 BC'.
I am sure Mr Castleden wouldn't begrudge us the use of this helpful map on p.71 of the above book, to enable us to understand the layout of the various sites in the Walton Basin. He describes this area's prehistory under the heading 'Hindwell - a major ceremonial focus in Wales.'
(Note the Fourstones, upper left.)
See 'Walton Palisaded Enclosure' site page for photos taken from Old Radnor Church, looking out over the fla...
