Ynys-Hir submitted by TimPrevett on 11th Sep 2006. A plan of Ynys Hir circle at an MOD information point near Sennybridge. Do not visit without advance permission - see main entry for details. The booming of tank shells and rattling of machine gun fire on this drive along the road was startling!

Cwm Stone
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 11th Sep 2006
Cwm Stone submitted by TimPrevett on 11th Sep 2006. The more northerly of the two easily visible stones. The 1:25000 map records 3 standing stones here, yet Coflein records just one. A visit in person (a fleeting view from the roadside) yields one stone standing around knee height, and another fallen stone to its SW.

Cwrt-y-Gollen
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 4th Sep 2006
Cwrt-y-Gollen submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Sep 2006. A close up of the magnificent "Growing Stone". Even my uninterested wife had to admit this was impressive! On former MOD property, the signs have now gone, and it feels much less of an intrusion than previously.

Gelli Hill Cairn A
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 25th Aug 2006
Gelli Hill Cairn A submitted by TimPrevett on 25th Aug 2006. The silhouette of the cairn approaching sunset. The diameter of this cairn is considerable, and I think must rank among the taller cairns I have visited. See pictures of the circle looking towards here for an idea of the size of the mound in context of the landscape.

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.

Gelli Hill Cairn B
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 24th Aug 2006
Gelli Hill Cairn B submitted by TimPrevett on 24th Aug 2006. This is not Gelli Hill circle, but yet more stones which could be mistaken for a ruinous circle, as per the comment on 14th August 2005. The 'real' Gelli Hill circle on a narrow neck of land, lower down more or less at the same level as the large fallen standing stone.

Stanton Drew - Avenue
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 18th Aug 2006
Stanton Drew - Avenue submitted by TimPrevett on 18th Aug 2006. For evidence of the avenue, go past the NE circle, and look for the linear earthwork. The line is visible here on the LH corner of the picture; the group is on another part of the earthwork. Looking on the aerial pics, and on the ground, this can be traced from 3 o'clock to 12 o'clock outside the Great and NE circles. I did have an excellent picture of this from the ground, but have accidentally overwritten it!

Saint Bertram's Cave
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Yes on 7th Aug 2006
Saint Bertram's Cave submitted by TimPrevett on 7th Aug 2006. The situation of St Bertram's Cave - under the massif of Beeston Tor, and only accessible when the river bed has dried out. This photo is taken having walked about 1/2 mile along the riverbed. The cave is to the right (not visible here; other photos coming), but is easily missed. Speaking with a Brummie chap who's been coming to the area for some time, and my having left the area, his description of the cave I found didn't match. However, even the Trent & Peak Archaeological Trust couldn't agree...

Knowe of Dale
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Misc. Earthwork
Country: Scotland (Orkney)
Visited: Yes on 4th Aug 2006
Knowe of Dale submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Aug 2006. The enormous burnt mound on the N of Rousay. Look for the 'green lump' just below centre of the picture. The purpose of my visit to Orkney was to recce most of the major sites, but in true megarak spirit, I had to look at or at least photo any 'lesser' monuments I passed. This was one of them. I believe I am correct in attributing this to the Knowe of Dale - 2 months have passed since the picture was taken, but have extrapolated position from information on the picture, and a high scale map on C...

The purpose of my visit to Orkney was to recce most of the major sites, but in true megarak spirit, I had to look at or at least photo any 'lesser' monuments I passed. This was one of them.
