Great Cursus, Stonehenge
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cursus
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 10th Oct 2006
Great Cursus, Stonehenge submitted by TimPrevett on 10th Oct 2006. One of the National Trust interpretive signs for the Cursus area. Such a small percentage of the visitors to Stonehenge actually get to see there. In a 4 hour walk from Stonehenge, taking in the Cursus, Old and New King Barrow, Cuckoo Stone, to Woodhenge and Durrington Walls, returning along some of the Avenue, I met 1 other person. If you want some solitude near Stonehenge (I was going to say peace, but helicopters were buzzing around very often), explore the wider landscape. It's a treat.

Grey Stones
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Sep 2006
Grey Stones submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd Sep 2006. Another lost Shropshire circle remains lost! Largely destroyed by 1883, this was probably originally a bowl barrow, with a diameter of around 100 feet. Revealed and damaged by penetrative ploughing in 1945 and again ten years later, some structure was revealed - but now there is nothing to be seen, it seems.
Transcribing the grid ref places it in the field in front of the picture on multimap, but putting it onto the GPS places it higher up on the crest of the hill. If this was a barrow a rid...

Grosvenor Museum
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Museum
Country: England (Cheshire)
Visited: Yes on 17th Apr 2004
Grosvenor Museum submitted by TimPrevett on 17th Apr 2004. The Grosvenor Museum in Chester; as per Vicky's comment, do not expect lots of prehistory here. If you come solely with that interest, you will be disappointed.
The Roman collection is, not surprisingly, considerable; the period house is also fascinating, and some natural history is informative. It provided us with a good afternoon's family visit.

Gwern Einion
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Portal Tomb
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 24th Sep 2005
Gwern Einion submitted by TimPrevett on 24th Sep 2005. Though the massive dolmen here has a wall built around it, and a ruined farm building to the rear, the sense of ambience is mystical. Very rarely visited one would expect - but a cracking site.

Hafod-y-bwch
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: Wales (Wrexham)
Visited: Yes on 3rd Feb 2006
Hafod-y-bwch submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd Feb 2006. A large barrow, west from Wrexham, adjacent a footpath. Heavily covered with gorse, and truncated on one side by a track, the barrow is a prominent landscape marker - though not as prominent as the enormous slag heap which sits just left (north) off picture.

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.

Haughmond Hill Camp
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 29th Jun 2004
Haughmond Hill Camp submitted by TimPrevett on 29th Jun 2004. A univallate hillfort immediately to the east of Shrewsbury, situated upon Haughmond Hill. It lies near the path running south from Haughmond Abbey, an Augustinian Abbey, now under the care of English Heritage.
Part of a rampart is vitrified - fused together by intense heat to increase strength (used in some Scottish hillforts such as Knockfarrel, Craig Phadraig, Finavon and Trusty's Hill, and Cronk Sumark on the Isle of Man). Here, it may be due to iron smelting, but it is not conclusive.
