Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: Wales (Flintshire)
Visited: Yes on 19th Feb 2004
Gop Caves submitted by TimPrevett on 19th Feb 2004. The Gop Caves are surprisingly close to The Gop Cairn, from which they can be accessed. Discovered in 1886-7, the caves recess some way into the limestone of Gop Hill. On top of evidence of hyaena activity during the last Ice Age, a square enclosure had been constructed, enclosed by rubble, and contained the remains of at last 14 humans, dating across the Neolithic. Evidence of burning at high temperatures was found nearby. Usage of the caves continued for some time, with an additional 6 burial...

Large capstone with small chamber, and long barrow still remain here. Hard to capture on film, but when viewed from the NW side, the size is better appreciated.

Tyddyn Bleiddyn
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: Wales (Denbighshire)
Visited: Yes on 4th Oct 2004
Tyddyn Bleiddyn submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Oct 2004. Notice the contrast of the top stones to most of the wall of the property adjoining the location of the chambered cairn. The grooves seen here are inches deep, and seem very likely to have been taken from the cairn at some point.
