The Bargain Stone
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Holed Stone
Country: England (West Midlands)
Visited: Yes on 28th Jul 2007
The Bargain Stone submitted by TimPrevett on 28th Jul 2007. The holed Bargain Stone outside St Peter's in Wolverhampton City Centre. It is believed bargains, probably deals on wool traded from the Welsh Marches, would have been sealed with a handshake through this stone. It is thought to be a well weathered and broken gargoyle, with the hole having been the drainage. Don't miss the huge Anglo Saxon cross shaft nearby.

Boltstone
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Yes on 4th Aug 2007
Boltstone submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Aug 2007. Within the view presented of this field once stood The Boltstone. No trace survives, it seems, as the farmer destroyed it looking for fabled treasure beneath it in 1839 - so the story goes. Not far to the NW of Kinver hillfort, off Bannut Tree Lane, near the footpath shown cutting across the field.

Armada Beacon
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Cheshire)
Visited: Yes on 26th Aug 2007
Armada Beacon submitted by TimPrevett on 26th Aug 2007. Viewed from the west, the Armada Beacon, which is also a bronze age burial mound - though there is nothing there to tell the steady stream of bank holiday tourists such information.
A lovely area, and if you know where to find them (after 10 years of visiting, I do at last), many items of interest at Alderley Edge.
See main entries.

Visited: Yes on 18th Sep 2007
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.

Hengwm Ring Cairn
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ring Cairn
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 18th Sep 2007
Hengwm Ring Cairn submitted by TimPrevett on 18th Sep 2007. This is a delight not to be missed. If you visit the tombs at Carneddau Hengwm, this is just a few minutes walk away. Take it in, or you'll be kicking yourself. A small ring cairn, with outward leaning stones, and an internal ring recognisable in most of the monument. It appears also to be sited so as to give an impression of being on a ridge. Comparisons with Bryn Cader Faner, which is to the north on another good long, walk, are easy to make.

The Bulwarks (Breedon on the Hill)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Leicestershire and Rutland)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Sep 2007
The Bulwarks (Breedon on the Hill) submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd Sep 2007. This is on the southern end of the hill, ramparts survive better, IIRC, on the western side, but time and incoming heavy rain were against me on this visit. Take in the church, too, which heaves with history from Anglo-Saxon, Norman, and beyond!
