Carneddau Hengwm submitted by JohnnyP on 27th Feb 2007. Northern Cairn Described on Coflein as denuded long cairn, 52m E-W by 17m, within which are set an uncertain number of chambered features, some of which appear to have retained their capstones.
This is looking to SW. North Cairn just visible left hand edge.

Hengwm Ring Cairn
Date Added: 26th Sep 2014
Site Type: Ring Cairn
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 2
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.

Caer-Dyni submitted by DavidRaven on 25th Jul 2004. Grid Ref: SH 511 383
A forlorn little burial chamber, near the railway line east of Criccieth.
The slipped capstone has a notch in it. There seems to be a significant number of smaller stones around the base of the rocks; almost as if it could've been the remains of a cairn?!
The stone that still supports the capstone appears to be a different rock type from the rest, like a coarse sandstone...

Rhoslan submitted by vagabondnma on 8th Apr 2005. This is the view as you enter the field from the road looking East. A HUGE capstone, the pictures don't do it justice.

Country: Wales (Flintshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jul 2011. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 3 Access 4
St Winefrides Well submitted by KiwiBetsy on 26th Nov 2004. Outdoor rectangular bathing pool containing the submerged St Beuno’s Stone which can be seen in the photo nearer to the front of the pool than the steps and hand rail in the rear left corner. The well chamber behind the pool is a fine example of late perpendicular architecture creating an almost square crypt covering the wellhead. Around the well, graceful columns rise to support an elaborate vaulted roof which in turn supports St Winifrede’s Chapel above. Once, steps led from the well up...

Ffynnon Fair (Trefnant) submitted by coin on 22nd Apr 2014. Detail plan of the well basin.
"The site lies in a meadow about 100 yards north of the River Elwy at the foot of a steep woodland slope half a mile west of the A.525 road from Denbigh to St. Asaph and three miles from the latter. North of the bridge by which the A.525 crosses the Elwy is a narrow lane to the west, sign posted to Cefn, and some 400 yards along this lane is a fork at which the track drops almost to the river. At this point was once a ford and the chapel lies about a quarter of ...

Another monument restored using bricks and also has a broken capstone. Would have been originally covered with a cairn and entered via a short passage from the north east.

Presaddfed submitted by pab on 25th Sep 2012. Presaddfed, September 2012
Timber support which features in most photos on Portal has now been removed, so the more southerly chamber looks even better.
Delightful location - the walk over the field feels more like a procession, with the chambers looking more impressive all the time.

Lligwy Burial Chamber

Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 3
Lligwy Burial Chamber submitted by Jimwithnoname on 8th Sep 2011. Amazing dolmen and very unnerving sat underneath the 25 ton capstone. It's perched on very little it seems on the one side. The warden approached us as we sat eating at the site. He asked if we were thinking of stopping the night, which we were, but as he said. that's a no no. We respected him and moved on after our picnic. He was quite pleasant and only doing his job. Many people wild camp as he said, and set fire to crops or drive through hedges!

Din Lligwy submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd Jul 2002. Lligwy Ancient Settlement SH497861
This settlement, NW from Moelfre and not far from the Lligwy burial chamber is huge! A short walk from parking space for maybe 3 cars, through woodland, this location can occupy a considerable amount of time exploring the nooks & crannies of this probable 4th century AD settlement.
