Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Yorkshire (West))
Visited: Yes on 29th Oct 2002
Twelve Apostles (Yorks) submitted by TimPrevett on 29th Oct 2002. This site is seriously under threat. The stone to the left, and following the ring around, another 2 stones (alternating) are supported by boulders at the base. The stone at the front had been moved several feet since June - compare with the photo taken by Col also posted on the portal.

Ty Mawr (Nr Holyhead)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Jul 2002
Ty Mawr (Nr Holyhead) submitted by TimPrevett on 2nd Jul 2002. Nr Holyhead SH254810
Visited Tuesday 15th June 1999
Access: Very good. On road outside of Holyhead. Visible from the road, we parked up, and over a stile, this signposted stone is no problem to find. I believe it is just down the road from a burial chamber.
The stone: Much taller than me, maybe 8ft tall; sheep wool, bird poo and lichen decorated this one. It reminded me almost of a whippy ice-cream, twisted around to a conical point.

Ty Newydd (Llanfaelog) submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd Jul 2002. Ty Newydd Burial Chamber SH345739
Visited Saturday 23rd September 2000
E Rhosneigr. Heading north from Barclodiad, turn left off A4080; it's a short distance up on the right on the Llanfaelog to Bryngwran road. Parking is on a narrow grass verge, followed by a short walk. From the road, this dolmen looked like a thin slab on top of two brick columns; in fact it is an enormous lintel stone, with some original supporting stones - but blatantly held up by these red brick uprights! Despite the o...

Tyddyn Bleiddyn
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: Wales (Denbighshire)
Visited: Yes on 4th Oct 2004
Tyddyn Bleiddyn submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Oct 2004. Notice the contrast of the top stones to most of the wall of the property adjoining the location of the chambered cairn. The grooves seen here are inches deep, and seem very likely to have been taken from the cairn at some point.

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...

Tyn Y Coed submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd Aug 2003. SJ048397
Large capstone with small chamber, and long barrow still remain here. Hard to capture on film, but when viewed from the NW side, the size is better appreciated.

Upton Magna
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Timber Circle
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 7th Sep 2004
Upton Magna submitted by TimPrevett on 7th Sep 2004. The site of the long lost timber circle between Upton Magna and Uffington (Shrops), not far from Haughmond Abbey.
Nothing there to see now - and seeing the 'empty' field is difficult enough; there is a fairly deep ditch between road and hedge, which when I visited was full of summer growth of brambles and nettles.
The siting is placed clearly within view of the near omnipresent (for Shropshire) Wrekin, Caer Caradoc (Church Stretton), Long Mynd, Wenlock Edge.
It is a gentle sloping fiel...

Upwey Ridgeway

Site Type: Barrow Cemetery
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 24th May 2005
Upwey Ridgeway submitted by TimPrevett on 24th May 2005. Most of the barrows here seem to be considerably worn down by ploughing, but are still numerous enough, and easy to spot as prominent ridges.

V/V
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Rock Art
Country: United States (The Southwest)
Visited: Yes on 31st May 2010
V/V submitted by TimPrevett on 31st May 2010. The rocks are dense with petroglyphs, some of which feature in an archaeo-astronomical event. I saw a token of this event in the afternoon of my visit on 15th August 2009.
Two deliberately placed and shaped stones above the panels cast shadow daggers across different glyphs, pointing to different marks at key times of the year. A lot more information on this (and more generally) is at the website http://www.sinaguasunwatchers.com/vbarv.htm
Although I didn't witness a key event, to see ...

Wayland's Smithy submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd May 2008. Wayland's Smithy, last November 15th - I could not have wished for more perfect conditions for a first visit. Wall to wall blue sky, advanced copper toned beech tree leaves on the ground and above, sunlight across the facade, and 90 minutes of complete solitude up here.
