St Elvis Farm
Date Added: 9th Dec 2021
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Yes on 18th Jun 2021. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 2 Access 3
St Elvis Farm submitted by Adam Stanford on 18th Nov 2004. Located on a N-W facing slope, the tomb is one of three coastal burial sites in south-west Wales which appear to have been purposely concealed from the sea. A ‘double cromlech’ with 2 capstones is supported by two uprights. There are traces of a mound between both chambers and on the western side of the western chamber. However, both structures are today badly damaged. During the latter years of the 19th century, a tenant farmer from nearby St Elvis Farm was asked to stop ‘blasting’ bits...

St Ninian's Isle
Date Added: 9th Feb 2020
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Scotland (Shetland)
Visited: Yes on 11th Jun 2019. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 3
St Ninian's Isle submitted by pab on 17th Nov 2006. St Ninian’s Isle lies off the western coast of the most southerly part of the Shetland Mainland. It is linked to the mainland by a beautiful stretch of sand (called a tombola), which locals advised us would only be covered by the sea in extreme storms every decade or so. It is an absolutely wonderful place.
St Ninian’s Isle was the site of a valuable find of a hoard of ecclesiastical silver-ware in July 1958, and it was also found to have been in use through the Iron and Bronze ages.

Log Text: When visited in 2013 car parking was available at SX 62524 61120. Recently (2016) this car parking area has been closed making it much more difficult to access this part of the moor. The alternative car parking location is at SX 64342 59548. From here the easiest way to reach the row is probably to head north alongside the River Erme which will need to be crossed at some point. A decent map and reliable GPS will be essential.

Log Text: Limited car parking is available at NY 83118 75082. From here follow the track south looking out for the small four-stone circle at NY 82942 74717. Follow the track past Great Lonbrough and onto the access land at NY 81612 73313. From here it is a short walk west to the stones.
There are a number of separate and connected reasons for doubting the prehistoric stone row interpretation of this site:-
In places there seems to be a rubble bank between the upright stones.
At one point near to the sheep fold there is a clear lynchet along the orientation of the feature
At the northern end, the feature descends a very steep slope. No other row is known to do this.
A line of lines at NY 81514 73328 suggests that the feature turns at a right angle and heads east from NY 81499 73317. Severe shifts of alignment such as this are not a characteristic of stone rows but are common in field boundaries
The spacing between the rows is inconsistent
The form of the feature is similar to prehistoric boundary walls
The southern part of the feature is orientated on a pronounced kink in a boundary bank.
On the basis of the available evidence it would therefore appear unlikely that this feature represents the remains of a prehistoric stone row and instead is more likely to be the partly robbed remains of a field boundary, probably of prehistoric date because historic boundaries in the vicinity appear to be of the ditch and bank type.

Log Text: A true palimpsest with remains of different periods all jumbled up together. At one point a prehistoric round house wall is overlain by a medieval field boundary which in turn underlies a post-medieval wall. Truly amazing. This is the sort of thing that you usually only see on excavations.
