Site Type: Promontory Fort / Cliff Castle
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Yes on 6th Jun 2009
Flimston Castle submitted by pab on 6th Jun 2009. Flimston Fort. View of ramparts and ditches, taken from the west. The large crack in the cliff shows just how much the headland will have reduced in extent since its use as hillfort.
Photo taken 31 May 2009 - before travelling far to see the site, check first that access is allowed as the raod goes through the Castlemartin (tank) firing range.

Hobbyhorse Bay submitted by pab on 6th Jun 2009. Site in Pembrokeshire (Sir Benfro) Wales:
Linney Head Hillfort, Iron Age and earlier. This is the general view from the west. Would have preferred not to have the minibus in shot, but it does actually give some idea of scale...and it did allow us to go through the Artillery Range as well!

West Kennet Avenue

Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 31st Aug 2009
West Kennet Avenue submitted by pab on 31st Aug 2009. Wanton destruction along West Kennet Avenue!
ShropshireTraveller's photo of a snail at Avebury aroused my suspicions, and a walk along the Avenue this weekend seemed to confirm them.
Although most of his/her accomplices were skulking at ground level, this brazen lithovore was still munching away in broad daylight.
It is unclear whether the snails are directly eating the rock surface for their shells, or whether they are dissolving & dislodging the grains to get to tasty morsels inside li...

Ephesus submitted by pab on 27th Feb 2010. Ephesus: Terraced Houses. Close to the magnificent Library frontage, there is a covered area for which an additional charge is payable.
There are real delights waiting for you inside - these are not terraced houses as those of us who were brought up in British cities may think of them - they are houses built up in terraces up the slope!
From humble shops at street level to villas higher up the slope, you are able to watch craftsmen at work restoring the marble panels, and meander thr...

Syracuse Archaeological Park
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Museum
Country: Italy (Sicily (Sicilia))
Visited: Yes on 19th Apr 2010
Syracuse Archaeological Park submitted by pab on 19th Apr 2010. Inside the cave! The surface of the cave showed the lines of workings, so it isn't a natural cave, but one formed by quarrying. The photo doesn't really show it, but the guide talked us through the progressive layers into the seam the slaves were quarrying.

Visited: Yes on 25th Apr 2010
Caerau Gaer-1 submitted by pab on 25th Apr 2010. Caerau Gaer hillfort, this hidden gem commands wonderful views south over the valley, whilst its close neighbour (Llanddewi Gaer) looks north towards the Precelli Hills.
The lanes linking the two hilltops have the incomparable feel of ancient trackways....with a fox happily wandering along ahead of me!

Carreg Samson, Abercastle
Date Added: 30th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Yes on 26th Jun 2006
Carreg Samson, Abercastle submitted by pab on 26th Jun 2006. Confirming both the photo and the site as worthy winner of the Spring 2006 prize!
We loved the long late afternoon shadows, and the one of the 'principal sheep' made us realise that many ancient animal drawings make more sense if thought of as shadow tracings? The theory falls down rather for cave paintings though!
One wonderful thing about this site is the fact that there is a 'CL' campsite next to the field - what a view to wake up to!

Llanddewigaer submitted by PAB on 10th Oct 2010. View along the top of the western rampart, facing north. To give an idea of the significant size of these defences, note the gorse bush - one of the other pictures I will be posting shows the same bush from the north.

Cwmyffynnon alignment
Date Added: 4th Oct 2010
Site Type: Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 3rd Oct 2010
Cwmyffynnon alignment submitted by PAB on 3rd Oct 2010. On the slopes above the road between Lyn Nantlle and Ryd Ddu, there is a clear alignment. This may well be 'natural' but it is and almost certainly was formerly very significant. As for special - no doubt...
This photo is taken along a bearing of 042 - towards the many settlements and cairns on the Carneddau.
