Cerrig Arthur
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 24th Sep 2005
Cerrig Arthur submitted by TimPrevett on 24th Sep 2005. Looking east from Cerrig Arthur; the ring of the circle is obvious - but there are few stones. The woods to the back are home to a standing stone, and The Sword Stone.

Cors y Gedol
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 24th Sep 2005
Cors y Gedol submitted by TimPrevett on 24th Sep 2005. This was our last stop of the day, so lighting conditions were deteriorating rapidly. The best way I could get something out of this composite shot was to use a sepia filter. The collapsed chamber here (as so many in the area) is obvious. Fine views out to sea, and up into the mountains.

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.

Moel Goedog 8 submitted by TimPrevett on 24th Sep 2005. The most SW stone of the stones along the track; an enormous cairn is to the rear, two 'volunteers' stand on the perimeter of the cairn showing its extent.

Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 24th Sep 2005
Meini Hirion submitted by TimPrevett on 24th Sep 2005. Portal member Hailstones stands against the tallest of the pair. This stone, as you see *is* big... and very wedge shaped. Access is off a public footpath a short way away.

Bedd Gorfal
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 26th Sep 2005
Bedd Gorfal submitted by TimPrevett on 26th Sep 2005. Looking east from Bedd Gorfal, more likely the remains of a cairn than a true stone circle.

Dyffryn Ardudwy
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Portal Tomb
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Oct 2005
Dyffryn Ardudwy submitted by TimPrevett on 2nd Oct 2005. Dyffryn Ardudwy is a very easily accessible site, which brings with it a problem. The larger, later dolmen is used as a den. A hearth was built against one of the uprights, now heavily sooted. The chamber was littered with drink cans, and the surrounding cairn has broken drinks bottles and glass in many places. We took away a carrier bag overflowing with unwanted material.

Ellerdine Heath
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 9th Oct 2005
Ellerdine Heath submitted by TimPrevett on 9th Oct 2005. This stone, maybe post mediaeval but not certain, is documented in a photograph between 1931 and 1934, with its last entry on the SMR in Septmeber 1975. A visit on 9th October 2005 yielded nothing. A thorough search of the field and boundaries, to the left of the road behind this signpost (used this photo as point of reference for anyone else checking), was unsuccessful.

Caer Drewyn
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: Wales (Denbighshire)
Visited: Yes on 24th Oct 2005
Caer Drewyn submitted by TimPrevett on 24th Oct 2005. Flying from Exeter to Liverpool, the plane went over North Devon, Minehead, Cardiff, the Brecon Beacons, heading NE at Builth Wells, then flying up over the Clwydian Range. Inbetween, I saw this hillfort pop out between the clouds. Having looked at other pictures and multimap aerial shots, I am fairly sure this is Dinas Bran just N from Llangollen.

Northdown (Dorset)

Site Type: Barrow Cemetery
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 24th Oct 2005
Northdown (Dorset) submitted by TimPrevett on 24th Oct 2005. Moonrise over the Ridgeway, West Hill, part of the Northdown group of barrows. Had a great 5 hour walk from Preston, Sutton Poyntz, along the Ridgeway, the Bank Barrow, Bincombe, then back around Chalbury. As I came over the last ridge, this sight greeted me just after sunset.

Cwm Rhiwiau
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 3rd Jan 2006
Cwm Rhiwiau submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd Jan 2006. This image shows the location of Cwm Rhiwiau from Rhos Y Beddau stone rows, with points of reference.
I have visited the nearby Rhos y Beddau circle and rows twice since Feb 2000; on this, my third visit, I was determined to find the other reported circle, Cwm Rhiwiau.
The stones are indeed there, the tallest stones no more than ankle height. We were able to locate the northern outlier, but missed the southern outlier. We found the diameter of the circle surprisingly large for the size of th...

Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant (Standing Stone)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 4th Jan 2006
Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant (Standing Stone) submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Jan 2006. The large re-used Bronze Age standing stone next to the road in the village. Once it was one of several stones here; now it's the only standing stone in the village.
If the archaeological database is interpreted correctly, the schoolhouse behind had a mound where the stone was formerly situated - before the school house was constructed.
Parking around the bend as seen, ideal for visiting the village.

Site Type: Henge
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 4th Jan 2006
Meusydd Henge Complex submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Jan 2006. The site of a probable henge with associated earthworks. Can not be seen on the photo, but in person, there is ample evidence of earthworks in the form of contours in the land. See main entry for details.

Site Type: Hillfort
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 5th Jan 2006
Llwyn Bryn Dinas submitted by TimPrevett on 5th Jan 2006. The nearby hillfort of Llwyn Bryn Dinas would have had a commanding view over this east - west valley. The upmost part of the hill's shape is part of the defences, clearly visible either side as you go along the Tanat Valley.

Nether Knutsford
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Cheshire)
Visited: Yes on 21st Jan 2006
Nether Knutsford submitted by TimPrevett on 21st Jan 2006. Not a lot to see here. Something for the enthusiast with an active imagination. Allegedly the remains of a round barrow. Can find nothing in the SMR. Arguably, I found a slight raised area to the SW of St Cross Church, N of Branden Drive, with a circular depressed area around it (circled in pic). This was the most convincing thing I could find that there was something here. Just to the W there was a small mound among some trees near the footpath, but I did not find that so convincing. Thoughts a...

Middleton Hall
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 24th Jan 2006
Middleton Hall submitted by TimPrevett on 24th Jan 2006. In the grounds of Middleton Hall Farm, to the North of a track, west of Mitchell's Fold, the SMR records a standing stone. There now seems no evidence of the stone. We looked in June 2005; after some nettle bashing, we could look through the fence, and the the only tentative offering was some stones in the field. So, this is the site of it, but the stone is no more it seems. This photo is here just as documentation, not for quality.

Pole Cottage submitted by TimPrevett on 24th Jan 2006. One of the more easy to spot barrows on The Long Mynd, just west of the Pole Cottage parking area.

Castle Ring (Stitt Hill)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 24th Jan 2006
Castle Ring (Stitt Hill) submitted by TimPrevett on 24th Jan 2006. Not so much a hillfort, but likely an enclosure for livestock, dating from the Bronze Age. This is a semicircular earthwork, wide open on one side, and useless for defence. There are cross dykes on this ridge too, probably aiding the livestock management of the time. This photo looks SE from a footpath ascending nearby, with the curve of the semicircular earthwork on the ridge.
