St Augustine's Well (Cerne Abbas)
Date Added: 9th Jan 2017
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 28th Dec 2016. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
St Augustine's Well (Cerne Abbas) submitted by ermine on 9th Jan 2005. St Augustine's well in Cerne Abbas is a tranquil place. Walk up Abbey Street and turn into the graveyard - the well is a couple of hundred yards alond the track. The flow is good and was the village's source of drinking water in the last century.
The Abbey nearby is also worth a visit, as well as the nearby Giant hillfigure.

Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Apr 2007
Sling (Llandegai) submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd Apr 2007. The ruinous Sling chambered tomb. A bit of a devil to find. Don't be distracted by the stones on the ridge next to the road. There is also a misleading stone in the middle of the field to the west. This is in deep undergrowth!

Skara Brae
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Scotland (Orkney)
Visited: Yes on 3rd Aug 2006
Skara Brae submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd Aug 2006. Trying to get an 'in the monument' photo at Skara Brae is very difficult. Paths go around, over, but not in. Visitor numbers are too high to permit access. Some of the pathways over will have to be closed due to compaction of the neolithic walls underneath. If visitor numbers isn't enough to cause its own problems, the sea is beginning to eat around the coastal defences too. So, this is one of the few angles where one can try to capture an interactive photo.

Shop Farm
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Jul 2002
Shop Farm submitted by TimPrevett on 2nd Jul 2002. Shop Farm SH318813
Visited Tuesday 15th June 1999
Access: Park off the A5025 Valley to Cemaes road. I had to go through a farm, so I knocked and asked permission, and was granted it very cheerfully. The field was high in thistles in places, and quite spikey. It was also a silage field, so crap was everywhere.
The stone: Relatively small - about 5 feet. Couldn't see much detail on it, as it was sprayed with silage, and iced with bird poo.

Shooting Box Disc Barrow
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 25th Apr 2004
Shooting Box Disc Barrow submitted by TimPrevett on 25th Apr 2004. The best, most obvious barrow remaining on The Long Mynd, and the sole known example of a disc barrow in Shropshire.
It covers a circular area some 170 feet in diameter, with an outer raised heather-covered ring circa 15 feet wide, and the inner green mound 60 feet across and up to 8 feet high.
It is so named due a grouse shooting box that was on its northern side until 1992; it now leaves a large depression in the green mound, with a similar depression on the east side, suggesting another...

Sevenways Cave
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Yes on 29th Jul 2006
Sevenways Cave submitted by TimPrevett on 29th Jul 2006. The view when one descends from the ridge around the west side, and find the first obvious entrance to the cave.
Seven Ways cave - so named because of 7+ entrances into it. Sited above and to the west of Thor's Cave, it is accessed by returning to the path just before the last descent to access Thor's Cave, and then heading up! Be careful - the drops come up unexpectedly, and there are some *big* drops. Also minor shafts and limestone fissures are not infrequent, so consider your route to a...

Seven Wells
Date Added: 2nd Mar 2025
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Mar 2025. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 5
Seven Wells submitted by KiwiBetsy on 6th Dec 2004. Seven Wells is found in the delightful village of Bisley, built into the hillside below All Saint’s Church and graveyard.
A semicircle of five gothic arched recesses account for five wells with the water arising in the hillside being channelled into a shallow stone trough and then down into a subterranean gravel bottomed pool. Two other channels emerge from each end of the structure and their water falls into deeper stone troughs before overflowing and disappearing underground. That mak...

Log Text: Seven Wells, Bisley. As the name suggests, seven apertures of water flow into a magnificent presentation on the hillside. A number of older wells to the east still have water flowing. The incongruity is the whole area is hemmed in by parked cars, fabulous for disabled access but makes appreciation more difficult. The churchyard is a peaceful nature reserve too. All a worthwhile visit and a package of fascinating places in the village.
