Castle Ring (Derbyshire)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Feb 2004
Castle Ring (Derbyshire) submitted by TimPrevett on 1st Feb 2004. The westernmost ditch, with dry stone wall on top of the tallest rampart.
The views to the N and NW from here are commanding, even on a grey day such as this. The town of Youlgreave was clearly visible, and the adjoining field to the west, which was open and 'rolling' very much reminded me of Wiltshire.

Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 14th Feb 2004
Titterstone Clee Camp submitted by TimPrevett on 14th Feb 2004. Sitting to the NEE of Ludlow, the imposing figure of Titterstone Clee upon which sits the hillfort at SO592779. On this very murky day the greyness lifted just enough for me to be able to grab this picture of its silhouette from the top of St Laurence's Church Tower in the centre of Ludlow.
Titterstone Clee Camp is the largest hillfort in Shropshire covering some 28 hectares, though parts of it are now lost due to 100 years plus quarrying, thankfully now ceased. Two cairns, one mounted by an ...

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...

Cefn Coch (Penmaenmawr)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ring Cairn
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 7th Apr 2004
Cefn Coch (Penmaenmawr) submitted by TimPrevett on 7th Apr 2004. This Circle is easily missed. As it is usually approached from Druids' Circle, it is not visible until you actually go over a slight rise just SW of the neighbouring Moelfre Stone Row / Alignment which can be mistaken as 278.
When reading descriptions of Circle 278 as a wide circular rubble bank, with fallen uprights, then coming across this (which I have missed on 2 previous visits to this area), it is unmistakeably Circle 278.
This is looking to the North East from the bank of Circle 278...

Penbedw Park Standing Stone
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Flintshire)
Visited: Yes on 7th Apr 2004
Penbedw Park Standing Stone submitted by TimPrevett on 7th Apr 2004. This stone serves as the likely outlier to the Penbedw Park Circle.
It is a very large, almost square but rounded sides stone, and is intervisible from the circle, and tumulus.
Permission must be obtained before visiting, as it is on private park land.
The circle is behind the tree in the centre of the picture.

Penbedw Park Tumulus
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: Wales (Flintshire)
Visited: Yes on 7th Apr 2004
Penbedw Park Tumulus submitted by TimPrevett on 7th Apr 2004. The Penbedw Park Tumulus as seen from one of the stones of the circle.
It also shows the clear surplanting of trees, to replace stones to complete a sense of the ring.
Burl reports on some who were digging the tumulus to see what could be found, and were warned that they would be haunted by the spirits of the dead who dwellt there.
Permission must be obtained before visiting, as it is on private park land.

Bodowyr submitted by TimPrevett on 7th Apr 2004. Scorching under the capstone of the lovely Bodowyr Dolmen. Another prime example of how *not* to treat an ancient monument.

Druids Circle (Penmaenmawr)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 8th Apr 2004
Druids Circle (Penmaenmawr) submitted by TimPrevett on 8th Apr 2004. When visiting Druids Circle, be prepared for the worst weather.
Of the three times I have visited, the first two were the worst rain and wind I have ever experienced at any monument. Gratitude for warm weatherproof clothing was plentiful.
Last week's visit (start of April) was the best for weather. There had been a short sharp shower, but the clouds showed their clear intent for something more, so I took this shot as we chose to depart.
It is looking to the southwest, from the east side...
