Tyfos
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Denbighshire)
Visited: Yes on 24th Feb 2007
Tyfos submitted by TimPrevett on 24th Feb 2007. Be warned - this ram can seriously ruin any attempts at decent photography, archaeological curiosity, or having some moments of reflection. Whilst visiting this morning, I unwittingly secured the misdirected amorous intentions of a lone ram. Having gained permission to visit, I entered the enclosure, whereupon the ram approached, sniffed my leg, and demonstrated that he would like my leg to have his babies... I've never encountered anything quite as comedic from a sheep. For 10 minutes I was da...

Pabell Llywarch Hen
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 24th Feb 2007
Pabell Llywarch Hen submitted by TimPrevett on 24th Feb 2007. This is classed as a type 4 site, destroyed or unrecognisable. The
Burl gazetteer entry has it as being destroyed pre-1746 (credit to Maggie & Keith @ Megalithics for that info). Unsurprisingly, yes, nothing was to be seen. Somewhere on the right, the south east side of the A494 at Llanfor near Bala, there was once a stone circle. Not any more. The property seen is called "Carreg y Big" - perhaps a place name indicative of what was once here.

Hexentanzplatz (Thale)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Modern Stone Circle etc
Country: Germany (Saxony-Anhalt)
Visited: Yes on 28th Feb 2007
Hexentanzplatz (Thale) submitted by TimPrevett on 28th Feb 2007. The Diabolical President atop the modern stone circle of Hexentanzplatz. The devilish figures are to mark the site's connection to Walpurgisnacht - May Day Eve - when diabolical deeds and rites were allegedly done. The very name means "Witches' Dancing Place". Now it is a tourist magnet, with spectacular views, a wondrous cable car journey as one of the means to reach the top (this is in the Harz Mountains), and no end of tat pertaining to Witches, Devils, Ghosts and Demons.

Sainter's Dolmen
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Rock Outcrop
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Yes on 5th Apr 2007
Sainter's Dolmen submitted by TimPrevett on 5th Apr 2007. In 1878, JD Sainter recorded a number of antiquities in the area. Besides the Bawdstone further east, was this rock outcrop, which he regarded as a dolmen having a robbed out cist. The rocks look nearly identical now, as they did 130 years ago in his sketch of the stones.

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,...

Trwyn Du
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Apr 2007
Trwyn Du submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd Apr 2007. The visible remains of the Bronze Age cairn, on top of a Mesolithic camp and flint scatter site. The only excavated mesolithic site in Gwynedd now looks out on the Estuary in front of the Aberffraw Sands. In 7000 BC, this would have been looking out onto a river valler, with sea levels considerably lower. This is a top spot - the elements and nature up here were great. Even on a very windy, dull day, as the SE of the country baked in sweltering heat!

Sling (Llandegai)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Apr 2007
Sling (Llandegai) submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd Apr 2007. The ruinous Sling chambered tomb. A bit of a devil to find. Don't be distracted by the stones on the ridge next to the road. There is also a misleading stone in the middle of the field to the west. This is in deep undergrowth!
