Dorchester, Tudor Arcade
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Timber Circle
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 3rd Nov 2003
Dorchester, Tudor Arcade submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd Nov 2003. When in Dorchester, I just had to check out the report in Bill Putnam's book "Dorset: The Prehistoric Age" that there were red markings in Waitrose Car Park, Dorchester, denoting sites of larger timber posts, which formed part
of a timber circle. Quote "parts of a large timber circle have been
discovered surrounding a projected area of around 380 metres in diameter.
Apparently some 600 mature oak tree trunks would have been required for its construction. A radiocarbon date for it is about 210...

Doll Tor
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 20th Mar 2009
Doll Tor submitted by TimPrevett on 20th Mar 2009. With friends and clients at Doll Tor. I hadn't been to any megalithic sites for months before this - being hired for the weekend to show them a small sample of the wonders of the Peak District just reminded me of my first love of history, and that I actually *need* to visit stones for my wellbeing. There's something about them (as I'm sure most visiting pages know...)

Doddington Moor
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Northumberland)
Visited: Yes on 20th May 2010
Doddington Moor submitted by TimPrevett on 20th May 2010. Absolute nightmare to find - unplanned visit at the end of a surprisingly superb weather day. A 1:50000 map wasn't much help - the footpaths bore no resemblance to the map, so taking a grid ref from the map, and switching on the handheld GPS guided us here.
At first I was disappointed with the place - just one stone remaining upright - but discovering several other stones, and enjoying the pre-sunset glow, it was a pleasing finish to the end of a wonderful day. 12/04/10.

Dinas Dinlle
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 19th Apr 2007
Dinas Dinlle submitted by TimPrevett on 19th Apr 2007. The coastal fort of Dinas Dinlle. The western edge is steadily eroding into the sea - trying to peer at the exposed stratigraphy is a somewhat perilous pursuit! In other places, the beach pebbles making the core of the ramparts are visible.
The site is a victim of its favourable position. Adjacent a family beach, a chip shop at its northern edge, and a pub or two not far away make it a very accessible and well visited place. The erosion on the northern path up is horrendous, even as I walk,...

Dinas Bran
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: Wales (Denbighshire)
Visited: Yes on 3rd Feb 2006
Dinas Bran submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd Feb 2006. Dinas Bran, approaching twilight emerges through the mountain fog across from the Eglwysegs. On full size, this picture looks fine, but resizing, it suddenly goes very grainy. Anyway, we were hoping for a day of good visibility - but far from it! Instead thick fog, and ice hugging anything that stays still on the mountain for more than a couple hours! Very atmospheric.

Din Lligwy
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 3rd Jul 2002
Din Lligwy submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd Jul 2002. Lligwy Ancient Settlement SH497861
This settlement, NW from Moelfre and not far from the Lligwy burial chamber is huge! A short walk from parking space for maybe 3 cars, through woodland, this location can occupy a considerable amount of time exploring the nooks & crannies of this probable 4th century AD settlement.

Cynynion Standing Stone submitted by TimPrevett on 22nd Jul 2004. Peering over the hedge, standing on top of a wall surprised this sheep, as I photographed Cynynion standing stone. The other livestock present are not visible here! This is the perspective from the west.

Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 4th Sep 2006
Cwrt-y-Gollen submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Sep 2006. A close up of the magnificent "Growing Stone". Even my uninterested wife had to admit this was impressive! On former MOD property, the signs have now gone, and it feels much less of an intrusion than previously.

Cwm Stone
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 11th Sep 2006
Cwm Stone submitted by TimPrevett on 11th Sep 2006. The more northerly of the two easily visible stones. The 1:25000 map records 3 standing stones here, yet Coflein records just one. A visit in person (a fleeting view from the roadside) yields one stone standing around knee height, and another fallen stone to its SW.

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...

Cuween Hill
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: Scotland (Orkney)
Visited: Yes on 21st Jun 2006
Cuween Hill submitted by TimPrevett on 21st Jun 2006. This was the best feeling tomb on Orkney for me; darkness. No modern skylights. The solitude, and darkness are quite creepy, but it is superb. A very low crawl indeed, and investigating the four smaller chambers is a must. Best shots were without a flash, and I rather liked this self portrait just near the entrance. Summed up the feeling of this tomb, which some have called "The Tomb of the Beagles" due to the quanity of dog bones found here.
