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!

Llyn Cerrig Bach
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Apr 2007
Llyn Cerrig Bach submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd Apr 2007. Perhaps one of the most important iron age sites in the country. A Sacred Lake, into which many votive goods were offered from the late Iron Age (2nd century BC), until just before the Conquest of Anglesey by the Romans. Eleven swords, eight spearheads, wheels of up to 22 different chariots, parts of a shield, and slave chains were found during peat extraction in the Second World War.
This is the single most important site of this type in Britain.
