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).

(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: This row can be a tricky one to get to. The easiest way involves crossing a river on foot and utmost care needs to be taken. A visit should not be contemplated after heavy rain and even at others times this is not one to be visited alone. If any doubt do not attempt the crossing. Car parking is available at SN 85314 20324. From the car parking area carefully cross the river and then head uphill and northwards towards the row. The stones in this row are all tiny and a careful search will be required to find them. Good luck.
