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.

Drumtroddan Cup and Ring Markings
Date Added: 25th Dec 2018
Site Type: Rock Art
Country: Scotland (Dumfries and Galloway)
Visited: Yes on 20th Dec 2018. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4
Drumtroddan Cup and Ring Markings submitted by rockartuk on 20th Aug 2001. On a fenced outcrop, 200m South of the farm (NX 362 447), R.W.B. Morris counted 84 cup-and-rings (1979). This photo was taken in 1993 with the carvings still clear. However, in 2000 the marks turned very faint. Acid rain? The question of preservation (after about 5000 years!) is now actual as well as urgent. How?

Log Text: Fabulous find. A bit of a search to find the farm, once there parking available for 50p and wander around the back of the farm to find the fenced off areas in a boggy fiel. Wellies a good idea. In the plantation also more concentric circles and through there a couple if fields away are standing stones, only 1 upright as 2 fallen

Log Text: Found this circle on a local map and decided to visit, it takes a bit of working out where it is as it is not visible feom thw road and getting through a few fieks of nosy cows tongwt there was an adventure in itself. I loved it there though- great energies although many stones seem to be missing

Log Text: Amazing site in the village of Xaghra. Buses every hour on Gozo, some go to the village itself or others stop 2km away
A stylish visitors centre seems out of place in the village and a walk through the museum and exhibits leads you to a walk to the temple itself. Its obviously very impressive. Part of the temple is still held up by scaffolding but with the age and the sheer size its in need of support. Breathtaking to be honest. A small shop leads you out back into the village where the bus stop is literally metres away
Beware the day tours give 45 mins to this site and then onto others. I am glad l made my way there and spent time as and when l pleased
A few sets near the site would be good Heritage Malta, it can be bakingly hot
