Ringmoor Down Cairn 3
Date Added: 18th Jun 2015
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 10th Mar 2015
Ringmoor Down Cairn 3 submitted by SandyG on 10th Mar 2015. Very few if any of the stones are earthfast and there is no visible trace of a mound. An absence of surface stone in the vicinity means that it is unlikely to be the work of recent visitors. Kerbs around some cairns seem to have been formed by placing stones on the original land surface and therefore the wobbly nature of these stones should not in itself detract from a prehistoric interpretation (5th April 2013).

Rhos y Gelynen Stones
Date Added: 7th Jan 2019
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Aug 2018. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 2
Rhos y Gelynen Stones submitted by TimPrevett on 15th Aug 2008. Three standing stones, two prostrate, and one partially buried lie in a row west-south-west to east-north-east. A long walk for this, good footwear imperative. Best reached by first visiting the stones at Cefn Llanerchi near the masts and aerials, then cutting a line out west to reach a track which runs past them. Any lower approach ends up being horrendously boggy.

Log Text: This is not an easy row to get to. The nearest car parking spot is at NM 43350 52269. From here you can either head northward along forest tracks or head back into the village of Dervaig and walk along the road that leads beside Loch a’Chumhainn. When visited in 2016 I chose to walk to the row through the forest and returned alongside the loch. The route via the village is probably the easiest. A map and or reliable GPS device is essential or else the chances of getting hopelessy lost are high.
Pwll-y-Wythen Fach
Date Added: 2nd Jan 2015
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 29th Dec 2014
Pwll-y-Wythen Fach submitted by SandyG on 29th Dec 2014. Circular drystone building in the foot of a shake hole. The structure appears fresh in appearance, is unusual in form for a prehistoric dwelling and should therefore be considered more likely to be of historic date. Still an impressive location. To judge the scale note the figure on the rim of the shake hole above the structure. View from west (21st July 2014).

Pump Maen (Five Stones)
Date Added: 11th Jan 2018
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment

Visited: Yes on 19th Mar 2016. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 3
Pump Maen (Five Stones) submitted by sem on 25th Apr 2010. Pump Maen - Five Stones
The first four can be seen but a fifth lies hidden among the grey of rock outcrops.
The row points to a sixth stone on the horizon. This marks a route down a treacherous scree/cliff slope.
The row is aligned at the same angle as Carreg Cadnow Row, but as CC also points to a way down whether there is an Astronomical angle is debateable.

It is always difficult to establish whether a line of boulders were deliberately placed or are instead the result of glacial or periglacial activity. Generally there must be a presumption in favour of natural origin, but occasionally some detail may hint at the possibility of human intervention. At Careg Lwyd a number of details support the possibility that this line of stones was created by people. The first is the three stone arrangement at the southern end and the second is the fact that the northern stone is prominent on the skyline when viewed from the southern end. Finally, and most convincingly is the evidence that at least one of the stones has been propped into position with trig stones. Together these details strongly suggest that this site was deliberately fashioned, but whether this happened in prehistoric times is less certain. On balance there is a sound possibility of this feature being a form of prehistoric stone row.

Porlock Common SW
Date Added: 12th Jan 2018
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 4th Mar 2016. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
Porlock Common SW submitted by thecaptain on 4th Nov 2006. Seen here looking west, towards the circle.
I found 5 tiny little stones in two parallel rows. There was one row of three stones, spaced about 1.5 metres apart. Adjacent to this is a second row consisting of one stone at the western end, and one more beyond the eastern end, which would seem to be from a fourth pair. The two rows are less than a metre apart. The largest stone is no more than 6 inches in height !
