Nant Gwinau
Date Added: 11th Feb 2020
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 6th Sep 2018. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 2
Nant Gwinau submitted by SandyG on 11th Feb 2020. Loosely set stone forming part of a line of similar stones (Scale 1m).
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: These stones are loosely set into the upper part of a deep peat deposit and cannot therefore be of prehistoric date. The most likely interpretation is that they are post-medieval boundary markers, perhaps indicating the extent of proposed peat cutting.

Almsworthy
Date Added: 3rd Feb 2020

Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 11th Apr 2019. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
Almsworthy submitted by thecaptain on 24th Nov 2006. Almsworthy Common is stated by various sources to be the remains of two concentric ovals, or up to six lines of stones, but I felt it was fairly random.
Its quite fun wandering round trying to figure out what patterns the stones are making. I can see six in this picture, with a few more hidden from view by the heather.

Lanacombe 3 submitted by TheCaptain on 1st Aug 2007. My hat and bag are marking the positions of fallen stones I found under the turf.
It looked to me as if this setting was once perhaps two rows running up the hillside, perhaps a sixpack.

Log Text: This is not an easy stone row to get to. A long walk combined with uneven ground make it difficult and care should be taken to plan carefully. It may be best to combine it with a visit to East Pinford stone row. Car parking is available at SS 83523 42234. From here follow the footpath west past the Madacombe stone row and then head towards the footbridge at SS 80325 42848. After crossing the river follow the footpath to the row.
