St Mary and All Saints (Checkley)
Date Added: 1st May 2022
Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
St Mary and All Saints (Checkley) submitted by TimPrevett on 8th May 2007. The three 9th Century Anglo-Scandinavian cross shafts in Checkley Churchyard. One would be fine! A superb group, each around 5 feet tall. The church and churchyard are fascinating. If not open a key is available very nearby - mail me for details. An unusual Saxon font is at the rear of the church, as well as a good guidebook for £2 as of 08/05/07. The churchyard is very nearly completely circled by yew trees, most of them relatively juvenile, but a couple are noticeably larger in girth. On the ...

Llwyn Bryn Dinas
Date Added: 1st Mar 2022
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Would like to visit
Llwyn Bryn Dinas submitted by TimPrevett on 5th Jan 2006. The nearby hillfort of Llwyn Bryn Dinas would have had a commanding view over this east - west valley. The upmost part of the hill's shape is part of the defences, clearly visible either side as you go along the Tanat Valley.

Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant (Standing Stone)
Date Added: 1st Mar 2022
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Would like to visit
Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant (Standing Stone) submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Jan 2006. The large re-used Bronze Age standing stone next to the road in the village. Once it was one of several stones here; now it's the only standing stone in the village.
If the archaeological database is interpreted correctly, the schoolhouse behind had a mound where the stone was formerly situated - before the school house was constructed.
Parking around the bend as seen, ideal for visiting the village.

Cwm Rhiwiau
Date Added: 1st Mar 2022
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes
Cwm Rhiwiau submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd Jan 2006. This picture shows four stones on the NE arc of the circle, looking to the higher rocky outcrop to the NW, which provides a useful point of reference.
I have visited the nearby Rhos y Beddau circle and rows twice since Feb 2000; on this, my third visit, I was determined to find the other reported circle, Cwm Rhiwiau.
The stones are indeed there, the tallest stones no more than ankle height. We were able to locate the northern outlier, but missed the southern outlier. We found the diameter of...

Carreg y Big (Shropshire)
Date Added: 1st Mar 2022
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes
Carreg y Big (Shropshire) submitted by TimPrevett on 22nd Jul 2004. This shows the stone just in front of the meeting of the three boundaries.
"The Big Stone", as this translates, is as about as Welsh as it can be whilst still just in England! The Welsh border is not far, and Offa's Dyke makes its presence felt less than a mile away.
The stone is on a south facing slope, leaning to the west, at the meeting of three boundaries - a fine example of a hoarstone, or boundary stone. The stone is carbonifeous limestone, and 6 feet tall by 4 by 3 approx. There is ...

Cist Cerrig submitted by vagabondnma on 9th Apr 2005. This view is looking South East and intersestingly enough does not view Moel Goedog. the low hill is in the way. Does Moel Goedog not interset the builders or is it not yet important?

Drizzlecombe menhir 2 submitted by dodomad on 30th Dec 2022. Jupiter glowing bright in the night sky above the magical Drizzlecombe complex in Dartmoor. Also known as the ‘Bone Stone’, it’s one of the most uniquely shaped Menhirs I’ve ever visited, appearing to transform with every step you take around it.

Date Added: 2nd Oct 2019

Wansdyke
Date Added: 9th Sep 2020
Site Type: Misc. Earthwork
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Wansdyke submitted by Thorgrim on 9th Jun 2005. Section of the Wansdyke where it crosses the road between Fyfield and Alton Priors. Wansdyke stretches for 45 miles from Bristol to Marlborough and can be walked for much of the way. As it is still quite high, it is free from 4x4 off road vandalism and can be a much pleasanter walk than the unfortunate and much abused Ridgeway.

Visited: Would like to visit
Round Hill Barrow submitted by Infinite_Fate on 1st Jan 2006. Taken with the same wildly inappropriate film as Swarkestone Butts. This is a shot looking East from the track mentioned above; clearly as it would be illegal for me to be there taking the photograph I had to ask the piskies to do the photography for me.
