Visited: Yes on 1st Jul 2002
Lligwy Burial Chamber submitted by TimPrevett on 1st Jul 2002. Visited at dawn, Thursday 28th September 2000.
I had hoped to get a sunrise here, but was instead greeted with cloud and rain! Nevertheless, it gave me this moody photo, which I quite like!

Llyn Cerrig Bach
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Apr 2007
Llyn Cerrig Bach submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd Apr 2007. Perhaps one of the most important iron age sites in the country. A Sacred Lake, into which many votive goods were offered from the late Iron Age (2nd century BC), until just before the Conquest of Anglesey by the Romans. Eleven swords, eight spearheads, wheels of up to 22 different chariots, parts of a shield, and slave chains were found during peat extraction in the Second World War.
This is the single most important site of this type in Britain.

Long Bredy Bank Barrow
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 27th Apr 2005
Long Bredy Bank Barrow submitted by TimPrevett on 27th Apr 2005. The Long Bredy Bank Barrow - very long and very wide! Portal contributor Morgoth is to the left, giving it a sense of scale. This view is looking north. If you look carefully between Morgoth's head and the pylon above the green field, you may notice a long line crop mark which intrigued a few of us on the Megalithic Meet.
This Bank Barrow also acts as a terminus for another Dorset cursus, which ends only 150 feet away or so to the west.

Long Low
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Yes on 30th Jul 2006
Long Low submitted by TimPrevett on 30th Jul 2006. Looking to the NNE of Long Low, new styal over the wall. Two interesting things about Long Low: 1) It is the only long barrow in Staffordshire, and 2) It has rounded ends, which are either described as two round barrows, or as rounded terminals. This is very reminiscent of the Broadmayne Bank Barrow in Dorset. Drystone walling intersects it in several places, and I styal is incorporated into one of the western side walls.

Long Meg And Her Daughters
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cumbria)
Visited: Yes on 10th Sep 2005
Long Meg And Her Daughters submitted by TimPrevett on 10th Sep 2005. We had a lovely evening picnic at Long Meg & Her Daughters in late August; the place seemed to bring the children alive when we arrived - and they had walked up Hallin Fell and down again in the afternoon! Here they demonstrate one of the best uses for enormous megaliths: hide & seek / chase... plenty of opportunity for that here :o) On the way back to Hadrian's Wall (where we camped) my son spontaneously remarked, "thankyou for a wonderful day". Bless 'im. The only thing we had spent that day w...

Long Mynd C
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010

Long Mynd C submitted by TimPrevett on 31st Dec 2004. A depleted bowl barrow, north east from the Shooting Box disc barrow, with signs of excavation in the centre. It has a very slight profile and is best detected as a raised mound on the skyline when approaching from the south east, having turned north before the Boiling Well.

Long Stone (Minchinhampton)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 30th Dec 2009
Long Stone (Minchinhampton) submitted by TimPrevett on 30th Dec 2009. Sunset 26/12/09 - an unplanned visit to a number of sites in the area.
No maps - just a vague 1970s guidebook - took us a couple hours to locate this having gone from Minchinhampton via Hampton Fields to Tetbury to Avening missing the stone at first by a narrow margin.
Having resigned ourselves to a long barrow this stone was spotted with just a few minutes before the sun went below the horizon.
A very impressive 7 feet tall stone, and make sure to see the smaller stone bisecting the wall ...

Ludlow Museum
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Museum
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 14th Feb 2004
Ludlow Museum submitted by TimPrevett on 14th Feb 2004. Ludlow Museum sits on the corner of the Marketplace, with Tourist Information within the same building (the cream coloured one). If visiting out of season, phone up to enquire about opening hours as it is closed for much of the time. We were disappointed to find the museum closed when we visited, so do check.

Maen Addwyn
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 9th Apr 2004
Maen Addwyn submitted by TimPrevett on 9th Apr 2004. This impressive sized menhir sits in the field boundary adjacent a road, opposite a school, which out of school hours makes handy parking for viewing the stone.
Mynydd Bodafon is visible to the north west, otherwise flat fields are visible in all directions.
The stone is being encroached upon by the spread of ivy. My last visit (actually 15th June 1999) showed relatively little ivy on the stone; by April 2004 the growth was much more significant.

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?

Maen Ffordd Rufeinig
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Aug 2004
Maen Ffordd Rufeinig submitted by TimPrevett on 22nd Aug 2004. A possible standing stone south of the road at SH694723, not far from the Roman Road, hence its name.
There are many boulders around the area, but this longer stone has been erected, and due to erosion on the far side, subsided.
A search of both CARN and Coflein databases reveals nothing further.

Visited: Yes on 30th Jul 2004
Maen Hir (Conwy) submitted by TimPrevett on 30th Jul 2004. A distant shot of Maen Hir; admittedly not the quality I like to submit - but it was the best, and arguably one poor picture is better than none.

Maen Pebyll
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 4th Oct 2004
Maen Pebyll submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Oct 2004. The collapsed remains of Maen Pebyll - possibly a long barrow, but these stones do resemble a collapsed dolmen; compare to Presaddfed on Anglesey.
The weather was vile on this visit, and for 5:50pm at the start of October, the light quality was dire. The driving rain was beginning to affect the camera, so using flash needed - thus giving the white blobs and streaks seen on the picture.
