Botley Stone
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ring Cairn
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 16th May 2004
Botley Stone submitted by TimPrevett on 16th May 2004. Picture shows the ring cairn in the foreground, looking north into the forest.
Botley Stone is classified as the remains of a Bronze Age ring cairn. What is visible now, is a hollowed out grass ring; upon closer inspection a good number of angular rocks are visible under the grass. Ring cairns are very rare in Shropshire, and given that all other burial monuments upon The Long Mynd are barrows comprised of earth (some with varying degrees of stones or kerbing surviving) of, this ring cairn is...

Brenig 46
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 20th Feb 2006
Brenig 46 submitted by TimPrevett on 20th Feb 2006. The more ruinous Brenig 46 Cairn, looking SW, with Portal user whatisthat in the background. Many of the cairns here have been reconstructed in situ. Obviously, this one has not been! Nonetheless, I'll often walk miles to see something like this, so still worthwhile. This cairn is situated north of a mediaeval Hafod - a summer grazing base, called Sion Lwyd. We kept wanting to call it Sian Lloyd!

Brenig 51
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 13th Feb 2006
Brenig 51 submitted by TimPrevett on 13th Feb 2006. The reconstructed Platform Cairn, aka Brenig 51. This magnificent monument was a complete surprise - 26 small stones in a perfect circle, with a 7 metre wide flat cairn ring around, raised a couple feet above the ground. The most unusual cairn I have seen to date. Wonderful. This is a composite of 3 shots, looking to the S over Llyn Brenig.

Brenig 6
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Denbighshire)
Visited: Yes on 20th Feb 2006
Brenig 6 submitted by TimPrevett on 20th Feb 2006. The small cairn of Brenig 6. Also reconstructed in situ, with posts denoting where posts contemporary with the cairn were discovered. Its low position in the landscape is puzzling. Most cairns sit high on ridges on spurs with good visibility in at least one direction. This does not. This view looks to the South West, with Maen Cleddau below the ridge.

Brenig 8 submitted by TimPrevett on 20th Feb 2006. The prominent knoll position of Brenig 8, AKA Waen Ddafad, looking SE across Llyn Brenig. In viewing any pictures of the Brenig Cairns, it must be rememered that the lake is a recent addition.

Broad Stone (Dorset) submitted by TimPrevett on 27th Apr 2005. The now levelled Broadstone, with rods to give a sense of its dimensions. A jest was made that it had already suffered enough without the Christianisation imposed upon it. Mind that there road...

Broadmayne Bank Barrow
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 3rd Nov 2003
Broadmayne Bank Barrow submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd Nov 2003. Came Wood Barrow Cemetery (SY699855)
This cemetery extends from the wood, across the hill top, with a glorious view to the coast, including Chalbury Hill Fort, and the impressive Bincombe Barrows.
This picture is taken on top of only one of three bank barrows (all in Dorset) with two round barrows to the left (N); the barrows go from behind the camera through the fields and into the wood.

Bromfield Barrows
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Barrow Cemetery
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 21st Jun 2004
Bromfield Barrows submitted by TimPrevett on 21st Jun 2004. This shows the northernmost survivor - (another) Robin Hood's Butt Barrow at SO489778. This is over 12 feet high, and over 90 in diameter. Parking can be had very nearby on a wide field entrance. A few paces from adjoining the north end Ludlow Golf Course, it is beneath the towering trees and smothering undergrowth. Excavation here in 1884 revealed the cremation of a boy some 9 feet down, along with bronze implements (not specified exactly what in my source).
The incline of the barrow can be ...

Bronkham Hill
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Barrow Cemetery
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 23rd May 2005
Bronkham Hill submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd May 2005. A huge amount of barrows, in many varieties and stages of depletion, run along the ridge of Bronkham Hill. This is approaching the largest barrow about midway along the hill (it *is* enormous), with some of the many Saxon Field Boundary Stones visible to the right.

Broomhill Barrows
Date Added: 3rd Jan 2025
Site Type: Barrow Cemetery
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 30th Dec 2024. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 2
Broomhill Barrows submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd Jan 2025. The tallest, easternmost barrow, just as the track drops downhill heading east towards Bloxworth.
Three surviving round barrows on a spur, following the ridge east from Woodbury Hillfort, near Bere Regis. Situated in dense woodland, the barrows were covered with trees which look to have been cleared during 2024.
The barrows are immediately adjacent the track, and the woods have a very heavy ambience. Quite a walk from Bere Regis or Bloxworth, but very enjoyable.

Log Text: A long walk from either Bere Regis or Bloxworth, surprising to find these having been cleared of trees in the middle of dense woodland.
Broomy Hill Centre
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Sep 2008
Broomy Hill Centre submitted by TimPrevett on 22nd Sep 2008. Couldn't get close to the stone; some young bullocks were in the field and remained oblivious to our presence, so having popped up over a knoll and observed the situation, I grabbed some shots before ducking out of view again.

Broomy Hill North submitted by TimPrevett on 22nd Sep 2008. Wasn't sure if this was the broken stone or cairn material; couldn't get closer due to the bullocks... (not in view in this picture - I know those are sheep!)

Country: Wales (Denbighshire)
Visited: Yes on 3rd Feb 2006
Brygolen Cairn 3 submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd Feb 2006. Brygolen Cairn 3 in the frosted, foggy landscape. Supposedly some of the best views in Wales up here... anyway, it certainly was unforgettable. The cairn is extremely disturbed, though extensive.
