Hindwell Enclosure
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Timber Circle
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Sep 2008
Hindwell Enclosure submitted by TimPrevett on 22nd Sep 2008. Looking from the lane which partially follows the course of the northern edge of the enclosure, across what would have been its centre; round barrow to the left but hard to make out in this shot. The ploughing goes up to its edge, even arguably upon it.

The Hindwell Stone
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Sep 2008
The Hindwell Stone submitted by TimPrevett on 22nd Sep 2008. Possible standing stone in a field in the Walton Basin. Given the context of the area, and that it's a matter of metres outside of the northern line of the Hindwell Pallisaded Enclosure, it seems a credible assumption to think it of significance and a part of the amazing ancient landscape now largely lost. Look to the NW for The Whimble hill and to the E for Burfa Bank which are of similar shape to the stone in their outline.

Hindwell Farm 2
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Sep 2008
Hindwell Farm 2 submitted by TimPrevett on 22nd Sep 2008. Spot the round barrow! Nicely shown by the line of the hedge, with the curve of the surviving barrow; this is the day after the All Wales and European Vintage Ploughing Championships. One wonders what a bit of field walking could yield...

Cefn Llanerchi
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 9th Sep 2008
Cefn Llanerchi submitted by TimPrevett on 9th Sep 2008. The fallen stones at Cefn Llanerchi. A good walk up from the reservoir car parking, but an engaging site for the enthusiast. Scan the horizon for prominent distant peaks, look at the proximity of the track... remote feeling, bleak and beautiful.
Worth visiting the Stone Row at Rhos y Gelynen from here, best approached from above - much less boggy!

Rhos y Gelynen Stones
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 15th Aug 2008
Rhos y Gelynen Stones submitted by TimPrevett on 15th Aug 2008. Three standing stones, two prostrate, and one partially buried lie in a row west-south-west to east-north-east. A long walk for this, good footwear imperative. Best reached by first visiting the stones at Cefn Llanerchi near the masts and aerials, then cutting a line out west to reach a track which runs past them. Any lower approach ends up being horrendously boggy.

Gelli Hill Circle
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 29th Jul 2008
Gelli Hill Circle submitted by TimPrevett on 29th Jul 2008. The circle as it is best located - in the angle of a boundary; this is inconsistent with the 1:25000 map, from which the boundaries have changed (as have footpaths) which can cause confusion. 28th July 2008.

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.

Woodman's Cross
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Barrow Cemetery
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 3rd May 2008
Woodman's Cross submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd May 2008. Four bowl barrows overlooking Wool, one mounted by a trig point, a little way north east from Woodman's Cross. Way before I was interested in stones and lumps and bumps, as a young teenager I'd come to this hill to take photos of the trig point against sunrises / sunsets, or stop for a snack on a long walk. Now I know what it was I was really wanting to photo. Coming back years later the barrows were so obvious... they were just part of the hill when I was a kid!
