Lligwy Burial Chamber submitted by hamish on 11th Jan 2005. Site in Anglesey (Sir Ynys Mon)
This is impressive, the capstone is spectacular and if you are of a mind you can get into the chamber - I didn't try, my knees being what they are.

Mynydd Cefn Amlwch submitted by hamish on 10th Jan 2005. SH230346
I saw this as I was driving past, I stopped at the head of the drive of the farm and went back to see if it was indeed what I thought I had seen. It is quite beautiful in its setting,it is protected by a fence but this does not detract from the ambience of the site. The views around are a part of its delight.

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Nov 2004
Burras submitted by hamish on 23rd Nov 2004. I was standing by the gate of the farm when a tractor came along the road and turned into the gate, I opened the gate for the farmer and he then walked up to the Menhir with me. He told me it had been re-erected and set in concrete.He tentively introduced dowsing into the conversation and became quite animated ( for a Cornishman ) when I told him I was a fellow dowser.

Bisley Barrow submitted by hamish on 21st Nov 2004. On the road from Waterlane to Bisley you will pass on the right a clay pigeon shoot, the barrow is just up the road by a public footpath. It is very over grown and difficult to access so be careful.

Penarth submitted by hamish on 11th Nov 2004. This is as close as I could get, you can see the herd of young cattle on the right well they didn't take too kindly to me so I hopped back over the hedge.The farmer was happy for me to risk my life but I declined his invite. He was though very informative about the area.

Caer-Dyni submitted by hamish on 10th Nov 2004. I stopped off at Criccieth for a break after a trip round the peninsula and saw this marked on the map. What a lovely rather sad place hidden from direct view, perhaps that is why it has survived. This pic was my first sight of it.
