Log Text: Mynydd Cefn Amlwch is in a pastoral setting protected from livestock by a wooden fence. It is a classic tripod dolmen. I enjoyed the quiet ambience of the site.

Log Text: The remaining stone of Hauteville's Quoit half-buried next to a hedge requires more imagination than I have to reconstruct the monument. One for the completists.

Stanton Drew NE Circle submitted by Horatio on 23rd Apr 2022. The NE circle the smallest of the 3 circles at Stanton Drew, includes some of the heaviest blocks of stone. Within this circle geophysics have shown that four enormous timber once once stood., it is not yet understood if these where buildings, raised platforms or some other form of ceremonial structure.

Log Text: Crickley Hill Enclosure is a large space that requires imagination to interpret the remains. The most impressive feature is the Iron Age Rampart at the entrance to the Enclosure.

Ardvreck submitted by markj99 on 8th Sep 2021. Ardvreck Chambered Cairn viewed from SE looking towards Quinag.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)

Log Text: Ardvreck Chambered Cairn lies c. 250 yards NE of Ardvreck Castle. Therein lies the problem. Thousands of people walk past an anonymous grass mound transfixed by its more attractive companion. I myself was guilty of this on my first visit. It was only on my second visit to Ardvreck that I targeted the cairn using its grid reference.

(View photo, vote or add a comment)

Log Text: The Bone Caves are set at the base of Creag nan Uamh in a spectacular highland glen. All of the discoveries have been removed to museums so it requires some imagination to reconstruct the caves as they were discovered. The impressive nature of the site more than makes up for this.

(View photo, vote or add a comment)

Log Text: Altnacealgach Cairn is accessible from Altnacealgach Motel if you have walking boots or wellies as it situated on a rough moorland slope. The c. 0.5 mile return trip is more than compensated by a heather clad cairn with a 45 degree arc of exposed stones in the SE.

Log Text: I was fortunate to visit Borgarvirki Fort on the cusp of Winter, a fresh layer of snow adding atmosphere to an impressive site. Although my visit predated Game of Thrones it seems to me that Borgarvirki could easily have been transported from the icy wastes beyond The Wall.
