Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: Wales (Wrexham)

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.

Eglwyseg Kerb Cairn B
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Denbighshire)
Visited: Yes on 4th Feb 2006
Eglwyseg Kerb Cairn B submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Feb 2006. Not as defined as its neighbour, the Kerb Cairn B is still obvious. Have taken it with the tree in for point of reference, but the trees up there were largely dead, or on their way - so this may not be there for much longer.

Country: Wales (Denbighshire)
Visited: Yes on 4th Feb 2006
Eglwyseg Mountain submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Feb 2006. Megaraks in the mist... the visibility up here varied from second to second, literally. I went to explore the panel on a large stone, turned around and my companion was disappearing, along with the standing stone. See main entry for details.

Brenig 51
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 13th Feb 2006
Brenig 51 submitted by TimPrevett on 13th Feb 2006. The reconstructed Platform Cairn, aka Brenig 51. This magnificent monument was a complete surprise - 26 small stones in a perfect circle, with a 7 metre wide flat cairn ring around, raised a couple feet above the ground. The most unusual cairn I have seen to date. Wonderful. This is a composite of 3 shots, looking to the S over Llyn Brenig.

The Burgs
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 13th Feb 2006
The Burgs submitted by TimPrevett on 13th Feb 2006. The Burgs viewed from the south east. February 2006. The upper (back) line of trees delineates the inner rampart, the outer being less easy to make out. This visit did not permit a closer look, but hopefully a future visit will help find more.

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.

Sevenways Cave
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Yes on 29th Jul 2006
Sevenways Cave submitted by TimPrevett on 29th Jul 2006. The view when one descends from the ridge around the west side, and find the first obvious entrance to the cave.
Seven Ways cave - so named because of 7+ entrances into it. Sited above and to the west of Thor's Cave, it is accessed by returning to the path just before the last descent to access Thor's Cave, and then heading up! Be careful - the drops come up unexpectedly, and there are some *big* drops. Also minor shafts and limestone fissures are not infrequent, so consider your route to a...
