Site Type: Hillfort
Country: Wales (Monmouthshire)
Visited: Visited (still working on) on 16th Aug 2015. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 3
Log Text: Half a hill fort is better than none! I intended to visit this site whilst on holiday nearby.Was out on another walk and saw the hillfort,but as i wasn't expecting to visit as soon i hadn't got my notes with me. - Fatal,as i thought that what was actualy a central bank was the South East limit of the fort.Only realised later that i'd missed the chance to see about half of the defences.
However,the half of the hillfort i did see was worth the climb up from Oldcastle.The North West rampart was under bracken but was still impressive (as was the central bank).A modern track runs right alongside the South Western rampart.The North Eastern side is defended by the natural steep slope of Hatterall Hill.

Log Text: What a great chamber to visit.5 minute walk from where the car was parked in Rhoslan village.
Visited on a glorious sunny day, and despite it being a sunny week the inside of the chamber was still incredibly boggy/waterlogged which made it impossible to get 'under' the impressively large capstone. Despite this it was still a great visit.

Log Text: Easily accessed. About a mile North of Bronaber on the busy A470 there is a small layby on the right. Opposite is a small gated road signed Bryn-Re. Walk down here for about 5 minutes and there is a passing place on the left with a couple of gates into the fields. The stone can easily be seen ( a couple of minutes walk) from the first of these gates.
Stone is only about 1.5m high and leans to the south west.
About 2m away is a much smaller stone.....perhaps part of the site.

Bedd Porus submitted by TimPrevett on 18th Apr 2007. Looking east into the wilderness of The Arenigs.
This is a late Fifth or early Sixth Century Christian memorial stone, removed from its original exact location, but still in the vicinity. It is unusual in being away from any church or churchyard, instead, it is in the wilderness, near ancient routes, both Roman and Prehistoric. (Sarn Helen runs nearby, as well as the huge Llech Idris Menhir). Presented in a caged enclosure, with a crumbling cast of the original (which is in National Museum...

Log Text: Whilst you can park a lot closer to it,i walked up to it from the Bronaber holiday village (about a 30 minute walk)
The site was overgrown and decaying,with the replica of the inscription not only almost illegible but also with bits of it crumbled away......The word 'Porus' had dissapeared with only the lower part of the 'O' being possibly still there.The middle line was only just legible and i couldn't make out any of the lower line.
The memorial stone (inside it's iron railings) is in a glorious (if not it's it's original)position!
With Llech Idris visible to the southwest,it was still worth visiting Bedd Porus despite it's poor condition.

Tyfos submitted by vicky on 7th Jun 2002. Tyfos Circle, Llandrillo, Denbighshire GR: SJ028388
This fantastic little circle lies in a farmer's field adjacent to a country lane near Llandrillo. Around 20 stones stand in a ring which has been described as either a denuded ringcairn or a free-standing stone circle. Although it is on private land it is well worth a visit and there are several gaps in the hedge making viewing easy.

Could only locate 4 of the stones due to the surrounding reeds.No sign of the recumbant stone either.
