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 ...

Whittington Castle
Date Added: 29th Mar 2022
Site Type: Artificial Mound
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Whittington Castle submitted by TimPrevett on 16th Dec 2003. SJ 325313. A barrow-like mound (possibly re-used barrow) at Whittington Castle - not disimilar from ones at Little Moreton Hall in Cheshire, or Boscobel House further east in Shropshire, near the Staffs border. A woman we spoke with here said that soil-core tests done here date contemporary with Old Oswestry Hillfort; she was adamant that the inhabitants of the fort actually dwellt here, and only moved to the fort in times of threat.

Elvaplain submitted by Postman on 21st Mar 2022. The equinox sun rises from a notch in the hills, i'm just guessing but there's also notches north and south of due east, possible solstice notches?

The Battle Stone (Ilam)
Date Added: 3rd Apr 2022
Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
The Battle Stone (Ilam) submitted by TimPrevett on 30th Jul 2006. The Battle Stone - remains of an 11th Century Cross in the grounds of Ilam Hall. For most straightforward access, leave the church with the two Saxon Crosses, left to the river, then before the river turn right for a pleasant walk along its side. The cross is on the right hand side after about 10 minutes walking, as a wide meadow arcs to the left. The cross was not discovered until 1840, and the name, one must suppose, is down to the imagination of those who discovered it.

Oldox Camp
Date Added: 5th Apr 2022
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Nottinghamshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Oldox Camp submitted by Bladup on 22nd Apr 2013. There are 2 humps here that seem like the natural entrance to Oxton camp, the one in the picture is the slightly bigger one [called Robin Hood's Pot] and the start of the other is going out the photo on the left, I think they're natural but one has a little barrow on it.

Date Added: 8th Apr 2022
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Would like to visit
Bedd Gorfal submitted by LivingRocks on 19th May 2005. Bedd Gorfal circle photographed very late in the day after a visit to Bryn Cader Faner, this was one of those ‘Just about time for one more before dark visits!’ and by this stage the light was extremely poor for photography, Tripodded at ISO400 plus a little brightening in Photoshop was needed to get this still somewhat grainy image.

Gwern Einion submitted by Adam Stanford on 20th Feb 2008. MER 1 Gwern Einion looking west. A beautiful day while the rest of the country was shrouded in cloud. The farmer was not very happy about climbing over the gate to get to this site, so do stick to the footpaths.

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 ...
