Country: Wales (Denbighshire)
Visited: Yes on 19th Feb 2006
Maen Cleddau submitted by TimPrevett on 19th Feb 2006. Looking NE to Brenig 6 (just right of centre) from the erratic Maen Cleddau - The Stone of Swords. Left to right, John, Victor (whatisthat), Glenn, and Hailstones far right. Is she being ill?

Brenig 46
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 20th Feb 2006
Brenig 46 submitted by TimPrevett on 20th Feb 2006. The more ruinous Brenig 46 Cairn, looking SW, with Portal user whatisthat in the background. Many of the cairns here have been reconstructed in situ. Obviously, this one has not been! Nonetheless, I'll often walk miles to see something like this, so still worthwhile. This cairn is situated north of a mediaeval Hafod - a summer grazing base, called Sion Lwyd. We kept wanting to call it Sian Lloyd!

Brenig 6
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Denbighshire)
Visited: Yes on 20th Feb 2006
Brenig 6 submitted by TimPrevett on 20th Feb 2006. The small cairn of Brenig 6. Also reconstructed in situ, with posts denoting where posts contemporary with the cairn were discovered. Its low position in the landscape is puzzling. Most cairns sit high on ridges on spurs with good visibility in at least one direction. This does not. This view looks to the South West, with Maen Cleddau below the ridge.

Brenig 8 submitted by TimPrevett on 20th Feb 2006. The prominent knoll position of Brenig 8, AKA Waen Ddafad, looking SE across Llyn Brenig. In viewing any pictures of the Brenig Cairns, it must be rememered that the lake is a recent addition.

Arbor Low 1
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 25th Feb 2006
Arbor Low 1 submitted by TimPrevett on 25th Feb 2006. Visiting Arbor Low on Tues 21st Feb 2006, this circle has been 'burnt' into the centre of the monument with some chemical, killing the vegetation. Ivy, holly, lavender, and tea lights were left in the centre. Also planted nearby were some crocuses just beginning to flower. Surely *not* how leave a special place for other people?

Dyffryn Lane, Berriew
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Henge
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Mar 2006
Dyffryn Lane, Berriew submitted by TimPrevett on 22nd Mar 2006. If one looks carefully at the Dyffryn Lane henge site, especially with reference to the aerial image in the CADW guide to Clywd & Powys, three areas of corresponding contours can be detected. Look for curves and rises juxtaposed against the linear hedgerows. I have marked the picture here to help show off the distant curves near the field boundary, and a closer mark to show the contours nearer the front of the image. Walking down from Maen Beuno, just a couple minutes, look over the field opposi...

Chirbury
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Henge
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 24th Mar 2006
Chirbury submitted by TimPrevett on 24th Mar 2006. The location of the ring ditch, possible henge, west from Chirbury. Just an apparently empty field. The road to its south runs higher, and this photo is taken from the road. The crop mark was certainly in this field, and the approximate area has been circle. Size of the circle has no bearing upon the size of the ring ditch.

The Berth
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 26th Mar 2006
The Berth submitted by TimPrevett on 26th Mar 2006. Iron Age Slave Chains. A gathering of the Berth Archaeological Group on Saturday 25th March had the enormous pleasure of a guided talk by Ernie Jenks (right) who carried out the dig here in 1962/3.
One of the most unusual finds here at that time were some slave chains like those found at Llyn Cerrig Bach on Anglesey, showing the slave trade was alive and well in pre Roman Britain.
Here Ernie demonstrates with his own reconstruction of the chains, using himself and Portal Contributor VirtHist...

Cist Cerrig
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Portal Tomb
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Apr 2006
Cist Cerrig submitted by TimPrevett on 22nd Apr 2006. I found what I am convinced is a cup mark on the east side of the wall from the remains of the portal, set into a flat protruding part of the natural outcrop. I had wanted to think this may have been part of the dolmen's capstone, but it appears to be part of the natural formation. Further research and communication will happen regarding this. This likely cupmark is visible beneath a head sized piece of quartz set in the wall, where the wall kinks. The stones of Cist Gerrig are visible right on ...

Caer-Dyni
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Apr 2006
Caer-Dyni submitted by TimPrevett on 22nd Apr 2006. Cupmarks? 3 concave indentations in this picture, another 2 further down off picture. Burial chambers on the Lleyn Peninsula do have a strong precedent of cupmarks. Apologies for the strong light / dark line - not a lot I could do about it on a day like this!

Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 17th May 2006
Glastonbury Tor submitted by TimPrevett on 17th May 2006. I awoke early Sunday morning; mist hung in the streets of Glastonbury - so I *knew* that above it would be fantastic, so I got out quick, eating breakfast on the go... as I ascended the tor, the mist began thinning to give a fantastic day above. Magic.

Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 22nd May 2006
Avebury submitted by TimPrevett on 22nd May 2006. Avebury snails; I don't recall having seen snails on standing stones before, so seeing this fellow (and some other companions) at Avebury, well, it seemed quite unusual. I'll keep looking at other sites from now!

West Kennet Avenue submitted by TimPrevett on 22nd May 2006. The West Kennet Avenue, looking uphill towards Avebury. Perhaps I have watched too much Children of the Stones, but it is easy to see profiles of people in these stones.

Chalice Well submitted by TimPrevett on 26th May 2006. Chalice Well gardens - a really beautiful place. Of all the environments created around holy wells, this must surely be one of the best, aesthetically pleasing. Absolutely stunning place.
