Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Aug 2006
Trefignath submitted by TimPrevett on 2nd Aug 2006. Interference at Trefignath; I visited here with a client in mid June, and the stones had been interfered with - these had been stacked up; others had been too, but nothing on the capstone. Will get on to CADW this afternoon.

Tre-Gwehelydd submitted by TimPrevett on 15th Feb 2007. The most unusual spectacle I think I have ever seen - a standing stone held together with huge metal braces.

Bedd Branwen
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ring Cairn
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 15th Feb 2007
Bedd Branwen submitted by TimPrevett on 15th Feb 2007. A pile of clearance material just south of Bedd Branwen, next to the river. In cases like this you can't help but wonder if this was *something* (well of course it was *something*, but perhaps related to the nearby ring cairn).

Llech Golman
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 15th Feb 2007
Llech Golman submitted by TimPrevett on 15th Feb 2007. While a black and white photo may not capture the ruddy hues of this stone, I was still very pleased with this choice of 'colour' and angle.

Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 15th Feb 2007
Pant-Y-Saer submitted by TimPrevett on 15th Feb 2007. Pant y Saer in advanced twilight; not as dark as picture suggests due to juxtaposition of flash off the stone.

Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: Wales (Anglesey)

Bryn yr Hen Bobl submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd Apr 2007. The view of the cairn covering the neolithic chambered tomb, having approached through the estate.
To visit, "Hen Bobl is on land still owned by Lord Anglesey. You would need to make a formal written request to Jones Peckover (129 High Street, Bangor, Gwynedd LL57 1NT) who act as agents for Lord Anglesey's estate."

Trwyn Du
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Apr 2007
Trwyn Du submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd Apr 2007. The visible remains of the Bronze Age cairn, on top of a Mesolithic camp and flint scatter site. The only excavated mesolithic site in Gwynedd now looks out on the Estuary in front of the Aberffraw Sands. In 7000 BC, this would have been looking out onto a river valler, with sea levels considerably lower. This is a top spot - the elements and nature up here were great. Even on a very windy, dull day, as the SE of the country baked in sweltering heat!

Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Apr 2007
Bodewryd submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd Apr 2007. The awesome, wondrous stone of Bodewryd. Quite a trek down single track lanes, but so, so worthwhile.

Llyn Cerrig Bach
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Apr 2007
Llyn Cerrig Bach submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd Apr 2007. Perhaps one of the most important iron age sites in the country. A Sacred Lake, into which many votive goods were offered from the late Iron Age (2nd century BC), until just before the Conquest of Anglesey by the Romans. Eleven swords, eight spearheads, wheels of up to 22 different chariots, parts of a shield, and slave chains were found during peat extraction in the Second World War.
This is the single most important site of this type in Britain.

Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 14th Jul 2007
Plas Newydd Burial Chamber submitted by TimPrevett on 14th Jul 2007. At Plas Newydd, also keep an eye out for two very large boulders / stones a short way from the main tomb. We couldn't help but look at them and say "hmmmmn, I wonder".

Hayden Butte
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Rock Art
Country: United States (The Southwest)
Visited: Yes on 5th Dec 2009
Hayden Butte submitted by TimPrevett on 5th Dec 2009. Hayden Butte (pronounced bute) has a lot of petroglyphs when you know where to look. All the glyphs are on sides of the mountain facing the sun (ie. south and east - as it seems is the case with most sites).
Most are recessed off the paths and are inaccesible due to wildlife and heritage preservation but can be viewed adequately from the paths, and with assistance (ie camera zoom, binoculars).
If not used to this environment, be mindful of bobcats, rattlesnakes, cacti and the temperature. It...

V/V
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Rock Art
Country: United States (The Southwest)
Visited: Yes on 31st May 2010
V/V submitted by TimPrevett on 31st May 2010. The rocks are dense with petroglyphs, some of which feature in an archaeo-astronomical event. I saw a token of this event in the afternoon of my visit on 15th August 2009.
Two deliberately placed and shaped stones above the panels cast shadow daggers across different glyphs, pointing to different marks at key times of the year. A lot more information on this (and more generally) is at the website http://www.sinaguasunwatchers.com/vbarv.htm
Although I didn't witness a key event, to see ...
