Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 15th Aug 2005
Maengwyngweddew submitted by TimPrevett on 15th Aug 2005. Have you ever tried looking for a squat white standing stone, about 85cm tall, with uncertain directions, and a mountainside of sheep? Not easy. This took me two attempts. An aborted attempt on my birthday left me disappointed and frustrated, wishing I'd purchased the 1:25000, and not the 1:50000. Sob sob.
Thankfully, my family had pity upon me, and I returned a couple days later with new attitude and closer studying of the 1:50000 and guide book. This fresh approach helped me find this quartz...

Clap yr Arian
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 15th Aug 2005
Clap Yr Arian submitted by TimPrevett on 15th Aug 2005. A composite of the cairn, 'Silver Lump'! The cairn is over 30 feet in diameter, and has some kerb stones remaining on its north western side. A large hollow shows a robbed out centre. The cairn is easily visited when visiting Maen Serth, and then on to Maengwyngweddew. If you look to the centre horizon in this picture, Maen Serth can just be made out.

Country: England (Herefordshire)
Visited: Yes on 14th Aug 2005
Coxall Knoll submitted by TimPrevett on 14th Aug 2005. Viewed from the A4113 - with this view in front, getting my camera was a must; unfortunately time did not permit a stop. This is a multivallate hillfort, wooded, with possible recumbent standing stone within the ramparts. Straddles the border of Shropshire and Herefordshire.

Agglestone
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 12th Aug 2005
Agglestone submitted by TimPrevett on 12th Aug 2005. Shropshire Traveller, Cassie the Dog, Teufel, Sharon, Izzy and Nat (front) at the enormous Agglestone - an outcrop of ironstone, which sits upon a mound within a vast natural amphitheatre. It used to be erect, and able to rock (ie. a logan stone), but the stone is now fallen. Attributed to Satanic throwing, and fancifully used for druidic rites, it is impressive. The rock is ironstone, and if you look carefully, in many places the rock does actually look like badly rusted metal. On the Dorset Me...

Castle Ring (Rorrington)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 12th Jul 2005
Castle Ring (Rorrington) submitted by TimPrevett on 12th Jul 2005. One of a number of monuments called Castle Ring; this one near Rorrington just north west of Stapeley Hill.
Just one ring surrounds this hilltop, with glorious views. Access is not obvious, so follow the route on the map, and when going through the wood, mind your footing. Tripping hazards abound.
A lovely remote place. Even though, while I was here on midsummer eve, a man on a quad bike came riding on a track to the south. If I recall correct, he was the brother of the landowner. We discuss...

Ffrith y Ddwyffrwd
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 11th Jul 2005
Ffrith y Ddwyffrwd submitted by TimPrevett on 11th Jul 2005. A cairn in the "summer pasture of the two streams". It was actually the landowners who mentioned the cairn to me, as CADW had written to them making them aware that a decent cairn lie on their property.
This is catching the north west of the kerbing, looking into Snowdonia. The bonsai effect tree is a helpful means of locating the cairn. A lovely, peaceful location. I visited (and found it late on Saturday evening) but the light was failing rapidly. I returned on Sunday morning, and must have ...

Ffridd Faldwyn
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 6th Jun 2005
Ffridd Faldwyn submitted by TimPrevett on 6th Jun 2005. The westernmost extremity of the earthworks at Ffridd Faldwyn is at the left of the picture; it clearly shows how the natural contours of the hill were used to aid the siting of the defences. In the far distance is Corndon Hill, on the far east border of Powys into Shropshire. Even further away, to the left of Corndon Hill is The Stiperstones ridge. See main entry for more details.

Visited: Yes on 24th May 2005
Upwey Ridgeway submitted by TimPrevett on 24th May 2005. Most of the barrows here seem to be considerably worn down by ploughing, but are still numerous enough, and easy to spot as prominent ridges.

Martin's Down Bell Barrows
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 23rd May 2005
Martin's Down Bell Barrows submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd May 2005. One of the bell barrows viewed across the barley, from the gate into the next field.
I just couldn't help thinking of the Fields of Elyssium in Gladiator here. It was blissful. Only sounds were the birds, and the 'white noise' of the wind through the swaying heads of barley. Blissful.
