Five Wells
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 7th Nov 2006
Five Wells submitted by TimPrevett on 7th Nov 2006. A view without so many nettles! It can get very overgrown around the chambers during summer. It is possible to enter the western chamber a little, but the eastern is much more accommodating, and can provide a welcome windbreak.

Five Marys
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Barrow Cemetery
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 18th Aug 2004
Five Marys submitted by TimPrevett on 18th Aug 2004. Sunset about 8.35 on Friday 13th August 2004, between two of the Five Marys.
My guidebook notes claims of two burials here with associated antler headware. It was a pleasing coincidence when standing upon the top of the western barrow, to be alarmed by a rustling in the adjoining field boundary, which revealed a startled stag, which then bolted the length of the barrows!

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 18th Jan 2007
Fiddler's Elbow submitted by TimPrevett on 18th Jan 2007. The unmistakable artwork of the Wychwood Ale, "Fiddler's Elbow", which incorporates folklore motifs common to Stone Circles and Standing Stones - fairies, and a diabolical fiddler. Interestingly, there is a perished standing stone in Shropshire at a location called... Fiddler's Elbow, and just 5 miles east from there, is the fairy stone, where there was once a noted fairy encounter. Image is used with permission of The Wychwood Brewery who produce a range of good ales, with artwork in keeping ...

Log Text: Well managed, vegetation controlled, parking for a couple vehicles. Some clouties in the trees, damage to the water's exit from the basin which will need re-positioning and re-pointing.

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 Newydd submitted by TimPrevett on 18th Sep 2007. Some disparate stones based around a very wide circular earthwork are all that could be made out here. One is put in mind of an enormous embanked circle.

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.

Fairy Stone submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Aug 2011. Long time coming in getting to this stone! Found out about it about 2005, and got visit earlier this week.
In Paul Devereux's book "Places of Power" pages 121-2 he records this diminished standing stone known as The Fairy Stone (AKA The Devil's Stone). It has a long tradition of fairy lights associated with it, and an account of someone walking past the stone one night getting the fairy lights stuck to his trousers. On getting home he found the trousers to be scorched - according to the tale.....

Log Text: The Fairy Stone Grid Ref: SJ372798 In Paul Devereux's book "Places of Power" pages 121-2 he records this diminished standing stone known as The Fairy Stone (AKA The Devil's Stone). It has a long tradition of fairy lights associated with it, and an account of someone walking past the stone one night getting the fairy lights stuck to his trousers. On getting home he found the trousers to be scorched - according to the tale... Or did he invent the story to explain why he maybe got his best trousers damaged? The stone is said to be situated close to a geological fault.

Eyam Moor III
Date Added: 14th Jan 2025
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 14th Jan 2025. My rating: Condition 1 Ambience 3 Access 3
Eyam Moor 3 submitted by PaulM on 31st Aug 2001. General view of Eyam Moor III stone circle. GR:SK232788. Eyam Moor III is quite unusual in that it is one of only five surviving free-standing stone circles in the Peak District. The circle itself is approximately 13m by 12.5m in diameter. There are six stones in total, two of which are recumbent. The stones are of the typical Derbyshire height (up to 0.75m) although the collapsed ones would almost certainly have been taller, perhaps over a metre when standing.In the middle there is a dumbbell-...

Log Text: Like Eyam Moor 2, visited after 25 years at least today; one that takes a bit of a hunt. A little further off the path than 2. Could identify one stone, and the large robbed out centre with some cairn material, but very water logged after thawing of snowfall. All carpeted with the growth of Heather, fern and bilberry. The grid ref from the OS app stood inside the circle was SK 23128 78872.

Eyam Moor 2 submitted by PaulM on 31st Aug 2001. General view of Eyam Moor II stone circle. GR:SK231789. Mentioned on several occasions by antiquarians, Eyam Moor II stone circle was only rediscovered in 1983, which is rather surprising considering its close proximity to the well used footpath.This embanked stone circle is now somewhat ruined and submerged. One of the smallest sites of Derbyshire, it is approximately 8m by 7.5m in diameter with only four low stones, ranging in height between 0.15m and 0.3m, set into the bank. The circle is co...

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.

Elder Bush Cave submitted by TimPrevett on 29th Jul 2006. A view of the entrance with the crags to the east above Sevenways and Thor's caves showing. Elder Bush Cave had animal remains from Pleistocene period (exactly when is not given - not that helpful considering the length of the Pleistocene), with Upper Paleolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze & Iron Ages, and Roman human activity all noted. Humans have been using these shelters for a long time, and animals even longer. On my visit, I did not enter the cave, as it was being used by a nest of bee...

Some natural limestone protrudes from this barrow, just visible on the other (west) side.
