Gors Fawr Stone Circle
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Yes on 11th Jan 2009
Gors Fawr Stone Circle submitted by pab on 11th Jan 2009. Gors Fawr, frozen in time!
Normally very boggy (as its name means in Welsh), the current cold spell has made even the mud walkable on!
This picture, taken 10 Jan 09, reminded me of mountainman's recent comments (in a forum near you!) about moving stones from here to Stonehenge over the ice & snow.
It may not have worked over grass a couple of years ago, but given a run of harsh winters, I can see it being a different prospect.

Coetan Arthur Dolmen submitted by pab on 29th Jan 2009. The scale of this wonderfully sited structure can be more easily gauged with the benefit of my 5ft marker. Photo taken 25Jan 2009.

Rhos y Clegyrn
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Mar 2009
Rhos y Clegyrn submitted by pab on 2nd Mar 2009. This stone stands proudly at 2.7m high. Part of its impact may be the fact that you can see so much of its surface from each angle - it seems more 'triangular with blunt edges' rather than rectangular, if that makes sense!?
A kites-eye view would help - if only...!

Ffyst Samson submitted by pab on 2nd Mar 2009. Looking under Ffyst Samson out towards the Irish Sea. This photo shows just how massive the capstone is. Combined with there being only 2 uprights with very limited contact with the capstone they support, the whole thing manages to look very strange!

Tafarn-y-Bwlch

Tafarn-y-Bwlch submitted by pab on 10th Apr 2009. View between Talfarn y Bwlch stone pair. This photo, taken Good Friday 2009, shows (I'm fairly sure) Garn Farw on the horizon, bearing 282, and 11.9 miles away.
It really can be that clear in Wales, but please don't tell anyone!

Flimston Castle
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Promontory Fort / Cliff Castle
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Yes on 6th Jun 2009
Flimston Castle submitted by pab on 6th Jun 2009. Flimston Fort. View of ramparts and ditches, taken from the west. The large crack in the cliff shows just how much the headland will have reduced in extent since its use as hillfort.
Photo taken 31 May 2009 - before travelling far to see the site, check first that access is allowed as the raod goes through the Castlemartin (tank) firing range.

Hobbyhorse Bay submitted by pab on 6th Jun 2009. Site in Pembrokeshire (Sir Benfro) Wales:
Linney Head Hillfort, Iron Age and earlier. This is the general view from the west. Would have preferred not to have the minibus in shot, but it does actually give some idea of scale...and it did allow us to go through the Artillery Range as well!

Site Type: Hillfort
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Yes on 25th Apr 2010
Caerau Gaer-1 submitted by pab on 25th Apr 2010. Caerau Gaer hillfort, this hidden gem commands wonderful views south over the valley, whilst its close neighbour (Llanddewi Gaer) looks north towards the Precelli Hills.
The lanes linking the two hilltops have the incomparable feel of ancient trackways....with a fox happily wandering along ahead of me!

Craig Rhosyfelin
Date Added: 9th Feb 2012
Site Type: Rock Outcrop
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Yes on 27th Feb 2011
Craig Rhosyfelin submitted by PAB on 27th Feb 2011. Runemage commented that a map might be useful to help people understand what the 'new' discovery means, so I popped up there at lunchtime to try and get a picture to show the connections.
This is one of our favourite spots for Sunday lunch, so no great hardship!
The Carn Meini outcrop is to the left of this shot - which is basically looking along the northern flank of the Preseli Hills towards Carn Ingli and the coast at Newport.
It is certainly true that no-one would take any ston...

Druidston Stones
Date Added: 7th Jun 2012
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Yes on 4th Jun 2012
Druidston Stones submitted by pab on 4th Jun 2012. Standing about 6ft high, this magnificent stone is surrounded by numerous small stones - but they do not give the impression of being packing etc.
The impression is more one of them giving some protection to the stone - which would be odd if it had been placed their in recent times as a rubbing stone for cattle.
