Plas Newydd Burial Chamber

Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Would like to visit
Plas Newydd Burial Chamber submitted by angela on 10th Jun 2002. Plas Newydd
If you are visiting Bryn Celli Ddu on Anglesey it is worth looking at this Burial Chamber site as it is nearby at SH 520 697. Coming from the bridge on the A4080 after about 2 miles take the left turn a few metres before the left turn to the National Trust car park for Plas Newydd. This lane has a blue private sign but this is for the centre down there. After a short distance you will see the tomb on the right in a field. This photo was from a winter visit and it was a quiet frosty ...

Timber support which features in most photos on Portal has now been removed, so the more southerly chamber looks even better.
Delightful location - the walk over the field feels more like a procession, with the chambers looking more impressive all the time.

Rollright Stones submitted by Energyman on 21st Dec 2020. This was the closest the weather forecast would allow me to get to this year's solstice sunrise, 20/12/20 8:30am. Luckily very little cloud. The shot is from the altar as I call it, through the entrance at the King's Men, Rollrights.
This alignment was calculated by Jack Morris Eyton, though he never got the chance to confirm it.

Secret Hills Discovery Centre submitted by TimPrevett on 13th Dec 2003. SO435825. This impressive exhibition is a millenium project worth singing about. A museum to demonstrate the wonders of an outstanding area of England so little known about. Hence the secret hills bit.

St Catherine's Hill (Hampshire) submitted by JimChampion on 15th May 2005. May 2005. Looking NE at the hillfort from across the Itchen valley. A familiar aspect to those who travel north up the M3 from Southampton (just before the controversial Twyford Down cutting). Only one of the cows in the foreground has noticed me standing precariously on a gatepost to take this picture.

St David's Head submitted by Adam Stanford on 29th Nov 2004. Inside the enclosure with the seven, possibly eight circular hut remains clearly visible in the foreground. The ramparts are obscured by the rock outcrop, which runs parallel to them (left to right) in the middle of this picture. Coetan Arthur is just beyond another rock outcrop, below the horizon to the left and the double dolmen of Carn Llidi is hard to spot on the slopes in the distance. Between Carn Llidi and Coetan Arthur is another settlement area and ancient field system, delineated by a ...

Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 20th Jun 2024. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 3
Stoke Flat submitted by PaulM on 1st Sep 2001. Froggatt Edge stone circle (aka Stoke Flat), Derbyshire GR: SK249768
Froggatt Edge stone circle is set on a flat shelf, overlooking the picturesque Derwent Valley.
Often referred to as Stoke Flat, the site is complex, though now sadly quite ruined. It consists of an embanked stone circle with two entrances exactly opposite, to the north-north-west and south-south-east. Traces of dry-stone walling in the northern entrance suggest that it may have been deliberately blocked at some time in p...
