Dyffryn Ardudwy Burial Chambers submitted by Johnny on 30th Dec 2001. Dyffryn Ardudwy Burial Chambers (GR: SH 589 228 Map 124):
This attractive monument is easy to find and, for once, is easy to get to!
Two well preserved dolmens, 8.6 meters apart on a bed of white boulders, remain of a two stage structural sequence: A completely closed portal dolmen in its own round cairn was built first. Soon afterwards this was incorporated into a wedge shaped cairn with a larger chamber near the
Eastern end fronted by a V-shaped forecourt.

Gun Rith
Date Added: 17th Jun 2021
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Would like to visit
Gun Rith submitted by JimChampion on 31st Dec 2004. August 2004. The stone is still standing upright, with its base neatly set in concrete with a tidy wall supporting the earth bank behind. This may help to prevent toppling, but does give the site the ambience of a contemporary structure. About 3.5m tall, it is a particularly phallic menhir.
