Rhos y Clegyrn
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Mar 2009
Rhos y Clegyrn submitted by pab on 2nd Mar 2009. This stone stands proudly at 2.7m high. Part of its impact may be the fact that you can see so much of its surface from each angle - it seems more 'triangular with blunt edges' rather than rectangular, if that makes sense!?
A kites-eye view would help - if only...!

Rhos Y Beddau (Circle) submitted by pab on 10th Mar 2007. Along with Shopshire Traveller's and COFLEIN's descriptions, this picture taken in Aug 2006 may help Portal visitors locate the site - but I have to admit I went to see the waterfall, not knowing what other gems were nearby!

Date Added: 5th Nov 2013
Site Type: Ancient Temple
Country: Peru
Visited: Yes on 3rd Nov 2013
Raqchi submitted by pab on 3rd Nov 2013. Temple of Viracocha, the Creator god.
This was once a major centre on Inca civilisation and religion.
This photo shows the main ancient temple wall, the lower parts being typical Inca cut and fitted masonry, while the upper section is made of adobe.
The roof tiles are a modern addition, to protect the adobe from rain and erosion.

Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 25th Sep 2012
Presaddfed submitted by pab on 25th Sep 2012. Presaddfed, September 2012
Timber support which features in most photos on Portal has now been removed, so the more southerly chamber looks even better.
Delightful location - the walk over the field feels more like a procession, with the chambers looking more impressive all the time.

Pollachar
Date Added: 9th Feb 2012
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Scotland (South Uist)
Visited: Yes on 24th Sep 2011
Pollachar submitted by pab on 24th Sep 2011. Strangely low in ambiance - perhaps knowing that it had been re-erected made it seem less 'authentic'?
Grossly unfair of course!

Pobull Fhinn
Date Added: 9th Feb 2012
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Scotland (North Uist)
Visited: Yes on 27th Sep 2011
Pobull Fhinn submitted by pab on 27th Sep 2011. Built on a artificial platform, leveling, this oval 'circle' is described in early RCAHms reports as being 122ft E-W and 100ft N-S.
The reports state that there are 23 or 24 stones in total, but the amount of heather/bracken at the time of our visit meant that only the larger ones were visible.
