Tyfos
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Denbighshire)
Visited: Yes on 24th Feb 2007
Tyfos submitted by TimPrevett on 24th Feb 2007. Be warned - this ram can seriously ruin any attempts at decent photography, archaeological curiosity, or having some moments of reflection. Whilst visiting this morning, I unwittingly secured the misdirected amorous intentions of a lone ram. Having gained permission to visit, I entered the enclosure, whereupon the ram approached, sniffed my leg, and demonstrated that he would like my leg to have his babies... I've never encountered anything quite as comedic from a sheep. For 10 minutes I was da...

Log Text: Well managed, vegetation controlled, parking for a couple vehicles. Some clouties in the trees, damage to the water's exit from the basin which will need re-positioning and re-pointing.

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...

Druids Circle (Penmaenmawr)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 8th Apr 2004
Druids Circle (Penmaenmawr) submitted by TimPrevett on 8th Apr 2004. When visiting Druids Circle, be prepared for the worst weather.
Of the three times I have visited, the first two were the worst rain and wind I have ever experienced at any monument. Gratitude for warm weatherproof clothing was plentiful.
Last week's visit (start of April) was the best for weather. There had been a short sharp shower, but the clouds showed their clear intent for something more, so I took this shot as we chose to depart.
It is looking to the southwest, from the east side...

Cors Y Carneddau
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 8th Apr 2004
Cors Y Carneddau submitted by TimPrevett on 8th Apr 2004. Cors Y Carneddau Circle
All that remains of this circle is an arc of stones curving towards the inverted "Y" shape of a wall field boundary to its immediate north. It is this same wall that helps to locate the circle in relation to an otherwise open mountainside and moor. Some may see it not as a circle, but as a rather fortuitous arrangement of boulders, but the guidebooks remain open minded.

Graig Lwyd Neolithic Axe Factory
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Mine, Quarry or other Industry
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 8th Apr 2004
Graig Lwyd Neolithic Axe Factory submitted by TimPrevett on 8th Apr 2004. Graig Lwyd Neolithic Axe Factory sits on the extinct volcano above the North Wales coastal town of Penmaenmawr. Spectacular views abound, with panoramic views to the Tal Y Fan mountain to the south, the Great Orme to the east, and Anglesey to the west.
Access is questionable; the 'volcanic plug' from which was taken microdiorite or augite granophyre is on top of a ridge which is still being quarried on its east and north sides for rocks of different geological specifications. The outcrop can ...

Rowen Hut Circles
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 14th Apr 2004
Rowen Hut Circles submitted by TimPrevett on 14th Apr 2004. One of three hut circles adjoining this lane, this at SH735717.
A large circular feature, marked on the map as "homestead", further listed as hut circle on CARN, dating from Iron Age to the Roman Period. In the north west corner, there is an additional circular feature. This lies a very short way indeed from the Cae Coch Menhir.
This is the view of the north east side.

Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 16th Apr 2004
Circle 275 submitted by TimPrevett on 16th Apr 2004. This picture shows the ring of the five stones which make up Circle 275, just behind is the outlier stone, and on the horizon is Druids Circle.
This area is a veritable wonder for the megarak; well worth the visit.

Hafodty
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 29th Jul 2004
Hafodty submitted by TimPrevett on 29th Jul 2004. The view of the 3 most damaged stones - split and fallen; the other two are standing, but have had chunks knocked out of their far faces.
This circle is not destroyed, though has been considerably damaged. 3 stones remain upright, the tallest at about 4 feet, the other 2 around 2.5 feet. 2 are fallen, and 1 has been blasted apart, and unsurprisingly now lies prostrate, with a large piece missing. Diameter is around 36 feet.

Cerrig Pryfaid

Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 29th Jul 2004
Cerrig Pryfaid submitted by TimPrevett on 29th Jul 2004. The northern arc, and outlier, of Cerrig Pryfaid, early morning in late July.
The very small stones of a complete and wide circle are hard to capture in one photo, so I decided to only focus on these, waiting for the sun to show through clouds, and was pleased with the result.

Maen Hir (Conwy) submitted by TimPrevett on 30th Jul 2004. A distant shot of Maen Hir; admittedly not the quality I like to submit - but it was the best, and arguably one poor picture is better than none.
