Moel Goedog E submitted by PaulM on 1st Mar 2004. This is the Moel Goedog East circle located at SH61043245.
It has good views over Porthmadog Bay but interestingly the view to the Moel Goesdog W circle just down the hill is partially obscured.

Moel Goedog W submitted by w650marion on 12th Jul 2018. Just visited this favourite circle of mine and I was so sad to see that the plough has been taken so close to it. This is a comparison of this year's visit to last year's visit .

Gray Hill stone row submitted by TheCaptain on 2nd Apr 2004. Grey Hill or Gray Hill Stone Row, Monmouthshire, ST437936 - ST438935
Looking to the south down the hill, is a fairly reasonable alignment of 5 stones in a row, which sort of joins between the jumbled stone remains on the top of the hill and the stone circle.

Gray Hill circle submitted by sem on 6th May 2013. Vandalism!
The idiot who sprayed this hand-print probably thought he was being very clever and somehow "enhancing" the work of his ancestors. The sane and sensible among us will view it for what it is, graffiti.
This has been reported to the relevant archaeo trust. Unfortunately I doubt the culprit will be found..... unless anyone knows of someone bragging on a social network site????

Gray Hill summit cairn submitted by TheCaptain on 2nd Apr 2004. Grey Hill or Gray Hill, Monmouthshire. Cairn atop hill at ST434936
Right on the top of the hill, with spectacular views all around is the remains of an ancient, but well worn cairn. I could have been imagining it, but did this cairn once have a kerbed ring around it, and some internal structures ?

They are bigger than I remember them being - perhaps they have grown in this fine summer weather.

Four stones remain of this row - two of which make up gateposts - the other two are upright in the hedge that borders the road. The Outdoor Leisure North Pembrokeshire map marks only three but two further stones are located ~300m to the south east. Other stones can be seen or make up the roadside bank.
The gateposts look quite square unlike the other two s...

Gors Fawr Stone Circle submitted by Horatio on 22nd Jun 2019. Summer Solstice sunrise at Gors Fawr 2019. Taken on my phone.
As I stood behind everyone I thought 'just how many people over the thousands of years have stood in my place and watched this and how many more to come in the following years to replace me'
It was a truly moving, 'spiritual' experience.
It was a long day yesterday (not just because the hours of sunlight) as sunrise here, then work (in east Carmarthenshire) and then back to N Pembs for the sunset at Pentre Ifan burial ch...

Looking SW,the view here is outstanding.This must have been a very sought after plot of Neolithic real-estate.It is set in a hollow on the cliffside lined with stones bigger than any but the capstone.Children & Nash suggest "no covering mound would have existed because the ledge.....is far too narrow."

Nevern Churchyard Cross submitted by vicky on 10th Dec 2003. The Nevern Great Cross, often described as ‘one of the most perfect specimens of its kind’. It stands in the churchyard at Nevern in Pembrokeshire, not far from the famous tomb of Pentre Ifan. It is believed to date to the 10th or 11th century. Close by is an avenue of ancient yew trees, one of which is said to bleed.
