Country: Wales (Carmarthenshire)
Visited: Yes on 24th Jun 2012
Garreg Fraith submitted by sem on 24th Jun 2012. Speckled Rock
These cairns are clearly visible from the West despite not being on the skyline, as their high quartz content makes them glisten in the sunlight.

Garreg Lwyd Marker Stone submitted by sem on 19th Aug 2010. This erratic appears to have been raised on smaller boulders and it's long axis aligned with Garreg Lwyd and Carn Pen-y-Clogau.
A good example of a "secret sign".

Ggantija submitted by sem on 27th Apr 2015. The 'carvings' on this stone are described as graffiti, but given the dates visible when does graffiti become history?

Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 12th Mar 2005
Godre'r Garn Las Stone submitted by sem on 12th Mar 2005. This site is plainly visible on the horizon from the Nant Tarw circles despite the stone being recumbent. I believe it forms part of a processional way to Fan Brycheiniog in the background.

Gournia

Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Greece (Crete)
Visited: Yes on 9th Dec 2008
Gournia submitted by sem on 9th Dec 2008. Mooring Post
I found this placed on top of a pillar in the central courtyard. Judging by the way it has been eroded, I assume it was used to moor boats with and as there is no modern settlement nearby, I assume it is Minoan.

Graig Fawr submitted by sem on 17th Jul 2015. It has now been determined that the site has two tombs side by side, though the jumble of stone makes interpreting the layout very difficult.

Site Type: Barrow Cemetery
Country: Wales (Monmouthshire)
Visited: Yes on 6th May 2013
Gray Hill Cairn Cemetery submitted by sem on 6th May 2013. Gray Hill Cemetary
There are meant to be 9 barrows here. We found plenty of lumps and bumps plus the odd stone that seemed to have been placed with a purpose. But even using a GPS, we could not be sure if we had found anything.

Hagar Qim submitted by sem on 1st Feb 2014. Western Grouping
As described by Trump "Between the two temples and a little to the west is an irregular group of blocks, clearly megalithic but the shape of the structure they originally formed part of is now beyond recovery."

Heol y Mynydd Round Barrow

Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: Wales (Mid Glamorgan)
Visited: Yes on 5th Nov 2012
Heol y Mynydd Round Barrow submitted by sem on 5th Nov 2012. Barely visible
This barrow seems to be playing hide-and-seek. It is centre left behind the square rock. At 0.3m high, it is not the most imposing of ancient monuments.

Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 3rd Oct 2016
Kill Barrow submitted by sem on 3rd Oct 2016. I think there is a certain delicious irony in posting the first picture of a site that includes so many members of The Megalithic Portal in it.
Well done all!

King Arthur's Cave
Date Added: 11th Jun 2012
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: England (Herefordshire)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Aug 2006
King Arthur's Cave submitted by sem on 23rd Aug 2006.
This cave was inhabited from the Upper Palaeolithic to the Bronze Age, a period of over 50,000 years. Finds here include bone, flint and "imported" pebbles. Caves nearby have also yielded Beaker and Roman pottery, but as this cave was also used to extract iron in the 18th and 19th centuries much archaeological evidence has been destroyed.
