Castle Bank (Radnorshire)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 24th Aug 2006
Castle Bank (Radnorshire) submitted by TimPrevett on 24th Aug 2006. A situation worthy of Lord of the Rings - Castle Bank in Radnorshire. Its situation is best appreciated from the hills surrounding its location in the vast natural amphitheatre. The univallate earthwork and stone ring are easily traced from this distance. A fine 3D fly-through model can be seen of this at Llandrindod Wells museum.

Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Cheshire)
Visited: Yes on 7th Jul 2007
Castle Ditch Eddisbury submitted by TimPrevett on 7th Jul 2007. As viewed from the east; notice the two figures atop, in the centre - these two gentlemen we bumped into, and they'd been there specifically to visit the hillfort, too.

Castle Hill (Shropshire)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 19th Nov 2003
Castle Hill (Shropshire) submitted by TimPrevett on 19th Nov 2003. SO461959; lovely views to the E to Caer Caradoc, and NE to The Wrekin. What may remain of ramparts is probably underneath fern, fireweed, and brambles. It has been argued to be a defended Iron Age settlement, shorn up on 3 sides by human efforts, defining an area about 60 by 90 feet. A ditch and bank is supposed to be visible on the W. This view is looking towards Church Stretton and really is all there about to be seen; though it is a pleasant location. The nearby 1902 church of St Michael & Al...

Castle Ring (Derbyshire)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Feb 2004
Castle Ring (Derbyshire) submitted by TimPrevett on 1st Feb 2004. The westernmost ditch, with dry stone wall on top of the tallest rampart.
The views to the N and NW from here are commanding, even on a grey day such as this. The town of Youlgreave was clearly visible, and the adjoining field to the west, which was open and 'rolling' very much reminded me of Wiltshire.

Castle Ring (Rorrington)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 12th Jul 2005
Castle Ring (Rorrington) submitted by TimPrevett on 12th Jul 2005. One of a number of monuments called Castle Ring; this one near Rorrington just north west of Stapeley Hill.
Just one ring surrounds this hilltop, with glorious views. Access is not obvious, so follow the route on the map, and when going through the wood, mind your footing. Tripping hazards abound.
A lovely remote place. Even though, while I was here on midsummer eve, a man on a quad bike came riding on a track to the south. If I recall correct, he was the brother of the landowner. We discuss...

Castle Ring (Staffordshire)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Yes on 5th Jan 2004
Castle Ring (Staffordshire) submitted by TimPrevett on 5th Jan 2004. Castle Ring SK045128
On the NW side looking to the W; there has been extensive clearance of trees and invading rhododendron around the ring; unfortunately, despite it being the highest part of Cannock Chase, the only part with a panoramic view, looks towards (Rugeley?) Power Station!
Castle Ring was actually recommended to me by a colleague at work who does not know of my stones / pre-history interest; she grew up in the Cannock area, and given we were making a trip to Stafford anyway, I'd...

Castle Ring (Stitt Hill)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 24th Jan 2006
Castle Ring (Stitt Hill) submitted by TimPrevett on 24th Jan 2006. Not so much a hillfort, but likely an enclosure for livestock, dating from the Bronze Age. This is a semicircular earthwork, wide open on one side, and useless for defence. There are cross dykes on this ridge too, probably aiding the livestock management of the time. This photo looks SE from a footpath ascending nearby, with the curve of the semicircular earthwork on the ridge.

Visited: Yes on 23rd Sep 2006
Caus Castle submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd Sep 2006. Caus Castle at evening twilight 22/09/06. Mediaeval fortification upon an Iron Age hillfort. Access is not easy, even though a footpath runs through the east side of the monument, and somewhere to park to leave the car completely escaped me!

Cefn Coch (Penmaenmawr)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ring Cairn
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 7th Apr 2004
Cefn Coch (Penmaenmawr) submitted by TimPrevett on 7th Apr 2004. This Circle is easily missed. As it is usually approached from Druids' Circle, it is not visible until you actually go over a slight rise just SW of the neighbouring Moelfre Stone Row / Alignment which can be mistaken as 278.
When reading descriptions of Circle 278 as a wide circular rubble bank, with fallen uprights, then coming across this (which I have missed on 2 previous visits to this area), it is unmistakeably Circle 278.
This is looking to the North East from the bank of Circle 278...

Cefn Llanerchi
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 9th Sep 2008
Cefn Llanerchi submitted by TimPrevett on 9th Sep 2008. The fallen stones at Cefn Llanerchi. A good walk up from the reservoir car parking, but an engaging site for the enthusiast. Scan the horizon for prominent distant peaks, look at the proximity of the track... remote feeling, bleak and beautiful.
Worth visiting the Stone Row at Rhos y Gelynen from here, best approached from above - much less boggy!

Cefn Maen Amor
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 29th Jul 2004
Cefn Maen Amor submitted by TimPrevett on 29th Jul 2004. View to the north, higher ground not far away. Three stones can be seen here.
Cefn Maen Amor stone circle has absurdly small stones, no higher than 1 foot, and easily lost under the bilberry and heather. Marked on OS maps as a cairn just to the north west of Maen Penddu standing stone, on a higher track, this is situated on a flat area, just beneath the highest terrain (as many circles are).
Locating it was a matter of careful map reading, and looking for conspicuous bumps to the north of ...

Cefn y Castell submitted by TimPrevett on 24th May 2004. This is how the majority of people will see the Cefn Y Castell hillfort - as the imposing hill, with ramparts visible around the crown of the hill. This is heading west from Shrewsbury to Welshpool along the A458. SJ306134

Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 24th Sep 2005
Cerrig Arthur submitted by TimPrevett on 24th Sep 2005. Looking east from Cerrig Arthur; the ring of the circle is obvious - but there are few stones. The woods to the back are home to a standing stone, and The Sword Stone.
