Carn Alw submitted by Horatio on 27th Aug 2019. Carn Alw hill fort from the west, hard to see but from about the level of the dip in the crags running to the right is a broad, carefully delimited zone of 'chevaux-de-frise'.

NGR: SN06093930 (Landranger map 145/Outdoor Leisure North Pembrokeshire map (No 35))
Located close to the centre of Newport in Pembrokeshire with public access. Although called a tripod dolmen four uprights exist - only two of which support the capstone (which is said to replicate the summit of Carn Ingli to the south).
Excavations have revealed cremated bone, Beaker and Grooved ware sherds.

Log Text: Despite its neighbours, the hedges and trees have begun to give this site a bit more of a natural setting compared to how it must have looked when the houses were first built. Impressed with the artist impression of the site on the information board - would like to see more by this artist!

Andle Stone (Stanton Moor) submitted by PaulM on 1st Sep 2001. The Andle Stone, near Doll Tor Stone Circle, Stanton Moor, Derbyshire GR: SK241630
The Andle Stone or Oundle Stone is a dominating outcrop of sandstone, standing alone in the middle of a field, surrounded by a dry-stone wall and a mass of rhododendrons.

Yr Eifl cairns submitted by h_fenton on 15th Mar 2011. Yr Eifl cairns (564metres above sea level) viewed from roughly east.
Cairn 1 is on the right side of the photo, the OS trig point here is built of stone so it is difficult to see. just below the cairn is a small patch of yellow. this is the backpack of a mountainbiker who is sitting on the ground out of the wind, if you look very closely just to the left you can see his mountain bike for scale.
Cairn 2 is to the left of cairn 1 , but is difficult to see.

Mynydd Rhiw Neolithic axe factory

Mynydd Rhiw Neolithic axe factory submitted by pab on 8th Feb 2009. Neolithic axe factory on Mynydd Rhiw, Lleyn Peninsular. The disturbed ground is from the 2007 excavations referred to elsewhere in these postings - having left it till now to post, I assume they will no longer show on the ground.
The picture is taken looking north-east, so both Caernarfon Bay and Cardigan Bay can be seen - with Yr Eifi and its magnificent iron age settlement visible on the skyline leading towards Snowdonia.
