Site Type: Hillfort
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Visited (still working on)
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.

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 9th May 2007
Lledwigan submitted by pab on 9th May 2007. Site in Anglesey (Sir Ynys Mon)
This was the nearest I was able to get to this stone in an otherwise wonderful weekend - across a significant stream and several fields away! Firmly in private land, and insufficient time to locate the owner to ask permission ... something for another visit perhaps.

Part of the delight of staying on the Caravan Club site on the farm next to Lligwy - being able to capture quiet times.
Shame there wasn't a moon that night!

Llyn y Fan Fawr
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 20th Apr 2008
Llyn y Fan Fawr submitted by pab on 20th Apr 2008. Line of harder rock is clearly visible in this picture (Feb 08) a quarter of the way down Carmarthen Fan northern slope.
When the ice retreated north from the Beacons, much of this material will have been deposited on the lower levels - presumably it will have withstood erosion down there in the same way as it has on the slopes?
Will this not explain the many layered stones doted around north of the ridges?

Loch of Houlland
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Broch or Nuraghe
Country: Scotland (Shetland)
Visited: Yes on 15th Oct 2006
Loch of Houlland submitted by pab on 15th Oct 2006. View south over the Loch of Houlland and its broch.
The next broch south in the chain around the Shetland coast was sited on the hill at Sae Breck which can be located on this picture from the square remains on the horizon of the WWll building which was built on the same site. There are no readily identifiable remnants of the Sae Breck broch, but its position can be located through the trig point shown on OS maps.

Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Peru
Visited: Yes on 5th Nov 2013
Machu Picchu. submitted by PAB on 5th Nov 2013. Machu Picchu, Peru
As if the main vista of Machu Picchu wasn't amazing enough, there were even more structures on the top of Waynapicchu, the mountain overlooking Machu Picchu itself.
This photo shows some of these structures - only a couple of hundred people are allowed to climb up, one group at 7.30, another at 10.30.

Maen Hir Farm 1
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Carmarthenshire)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Jul 2007
Maen Hir Farm 1 submitted by pab on 22nd Jul 2007. This picture was taken, with permission, from inside the field alongside the public right of way down the track to Maen Hir Farm.
RCAHM for Wales (NPRN304268) seems to confuse this with another stone, as it refers to it as being 2.4m high...which this certainly is not - less than 1.4 would be closer, but I failed to take tape with me!

Stone (4) on Maen Hir Farm from the east, showing its delightful curve. Other faces show signs of use as gatepost, suggesting that it has not always been in its current location.

Maen Pica Stone
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Carmarthenshire)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Jul 2007
Maen Pica Stone submitted by pab on 22nd Jul 2007. As noted by Vicki, the stone is on private land, but there is a lane which gives level and non-intrusive access to view across the field.
The 1.6m reported by RCAHM (their NPRN ref 304278) seems about right.
