Pig Hill (S) submitted by thecaptain on 18th Mar 2007. It is a great pity that one of the stones has recently been broken, possibly by somebody driving a 4x4 over the moor (the tracks are everywhere), perhaps horses, or perhaps maybe just wanton vandalism, as a pathway runs right past this stone.

Porlock Allotment NE
Date Added: 26th Jan 2018
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 4th Mar 2016. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 3
Porlock Allotment NE submitted by thecaptain on 2nd Nov 2006. What can be found is a large stone which looks like it might once have been standing. It’s a sort of triangular shape, 2.5 m long by 1.5 m wide.
I thought this was a lovely place above the conjugation of the two streams, all very atmospheric.

Porlock Circle submitted by thecaptain on 10th Nov 2006. View roughly northwest across the circle, with the large prone stone in the foreground and the next largest stone on the western side in the distance.
The diameter is about 25 metres and I counted 16 stones, but many of these are just loose stones on the surface.

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 !

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

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.
Pwll-y-Wythen Fach

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).

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.
