Buckholt Wood submitted by 4clydesdale7 on 17th Jun 2011. Fairly easy to find - near entrance to overspill car park for Woodchester Mansion - if you miss the Barrow which is not that conspicuous then look for the Glider Winch at the W end of the Airfield

Bryn Gwyn Stones submitted by petelovespurple on 24th Apr 2012. I'd been to see Castell Bryn Gwyn, noticed the stones marked on the map, when I got there discovered there was a dig going on, they had found the base of one of the destroyed stones plus stone holes for other stones, I'd have thought there would be more info here......
more photos in a set of the same name on my Flickr photostream

Log Text: i got to the car park fairly early so managed to get an hour at the site by myself which was lovely.
a woman turned up and started walking round and round looking very serious and superior.
Then some German tourists turned up, had not researched their visit and flew their drone around high and then right down low over us. Really irritating. I was fairly abrupt to them in a very anglosaxon manner. this amused the walking around woman.
At least ask people if they mind being filmed not just film them without asking. very rude and against drone guidance. It's a CADW listed site so has a no drone policy. I could have brought my drone and got some great shots. it seems it is old fashioned to be polite.
so. mixed feelings on the site. great site. and most visitors are respectful.

Log Text: Walked over from below Bryn Bwbach, the valley is amazing. Took a ‘short cut’ at Coetty-maur up to the main path higher up at Y Gym. This path is a bit sploshy but not boggy. The weather was dire grey cold windy wet. I would have liked to stay longer but the wind was just grim.
I counted 26 pointy stones, 2 were next to each other. Seeing it on the hillside is a welcome sight after a long trek.

Breiddin Hillfort submitted by TimPrevett on 24th May 2004. From the left Breiddin hill (also spellt Breidden) with New Pieces, centre and Moel y Golfa, right. Viewed from the south.
The hillfort on Breiddin hill made national news in July 2000 when the culmination of a decade of diligent deforestation showed the remains of this settlement, hidden for over 1500 years.
At well over 1000 feet above central eastern Powys (formerly Montgomeryshire), not far from the Shropshire border, the fort has a panoramic position. As one would expect, the extremel...

Log Text: a fair hike to the summit (Rodneys pillar which sadly has been condemned as too decrepid to repair) took me 3 hours and only 1 1/4 to come down. great long distance views from top. the ramparts are mostly in woodland but the main entrance can be seen as the path goes through it. the full size of them can only be appreciated by a visit-they stretch about a mile from NE to SW on the SE side.
quite an awesome build.

I was on a minibus trip round Eday when I insisted on jumping out to take a picture of this; even though it was very misty. The other 6 people stayed firmly on the bus, although this was one of Eday's 'sights'. But despite the mist, I got a nice picture.

Black Hill Round Cairn submitted by rich32 on 3rd Jun 2005. Black Hill round cairn, Black Hill, Low Bradley Moor, North Yorks, SE0087147535
This round cairn is 50meters SE of Low Bradley long barrow. It has a diameter of 30meters by 24meters, with a main north-south axis. There are a number of depressions within the cairn, probably a result of stone robbing.

Black Hill Ring Cairn submitted by rich32 on 3rd Jun 2005. Black Hill ring cairn, Black Hill, Low Bradley Moor, North Yorks, SE0081447654
This site is hidden under quite thick heather, the only way to spot it is by its banks, which still measure 40cm or so. In this picture the light brown reedy like thing just to the left of centre, is in the centre of the cairn circle.
Once at the site, up the hill & to the south east you can see the remains of Black Hill round cairn. Low Bradley long barrow is just to the east over a rise in the landscape.
