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.

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.

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...

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.

Country: England (Wiltshire)

Great Cursus Barrows, Stonehenge submitted by TimPrevett on 18th Aug 2004. One of the most impressive bell barrows - which we thought resembled landed 'flying saucers'.

Grain Earth House submitted by TimPrevett on 1st Aug 2006. The unbelievable setting for this Iron Age subterranean chamber - an Industrial Estate & Warehouses. Perhaps a continuation of purpose in the same area?

Graig Lwyd Neolithic Axe Factory
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Mine, Quarry or other Industry
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 8th Apr 2004
Graig Lwyd Neolithic Axe Factory submitted by TimPrevett on 8th Apr 2004. Graig Lwyd Neolithic Axe Factory sits on the extinct volcano above the North Wales coastal town of Penmaenmawr. Spectacular views abound, with panoramic views to the Tal Y Fan mountain to the south, the Great Orme to the east, and Anglesey to the west.
Access is questionable; the 'volcanic plug' from which was taken microdiorite or augite granophyre is on top of a ridge which is still being quarried on its east and north sides for rocks of different geological specifications. The outcrop can ...

Graig Lwyd Cairns
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 6th Sep 2004
Graig Lwyd Cairns submitted by TimPrevett on 6th Sep 2004. The volcanic looking cairn, looking south west. This cairn does not look as big as it actually is! It is a matter of minutes walk on from Druids Circle, and certainly worth investigating. Grid Ref SH 71662 74693.

Gop Caves
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: Wales (Flintshire)
Visited: Yes on 19th Feb 2004
Gop Caves submitted by TimPrevett on 19th Feb 2004. The Gop Caves are surprisingly close to The Gop Cairn, from which they can be accessed. Discovered in 1886-7, the caves recess some way into the limestone of Gop Hill. On top of evidence of hyaena activity during the last Ice Age, a square enclosure had been constructed, enclosed by rubble, and contained the remains of at last 14 humans, dating across the Neolithic. Evidence of burning at high temperatures was found nearby. Usage of the caves continued for some time, with an additional 6 burial...
