Maen y bardd
Date Added: 20th Mar 2021
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 18th Mar 2021
Maen y bardd submitted by PAB on 18th Mar 2021. A wonderful site to come across unaware, as we hadn't planned this walk around ancient locations.
The leading upright does have a worrying crack, so perhaps it will only last another few thousand years..

Maenau Llwydion, Llangain
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Wales (Carmarthenshire)
Visited: Yes on 15th Jun 2007
Maenau Llwydion, Llangain submitted by pab on 15th Jun 2007. Maenau Llwydion, Langain. One of a pair of monoliths reported in Coflein (NPRN 304151) as standing either side of a narrow lane - which leads to the Quoit Stone at SN38691485.
The stone pictured is on the eastern side of the lane, deeply embedded in the hedgerow. It is a very distinctive colour and texture compared to the other stones in the locality, but I am afraid I don't know its 'technical' composition.

Maengwyngweddew submitted by TimPrevett on 15th Aug 2005. Have you ever tried looking for a squat white standing stone, about 85cm tall, with uncertain directions, and a mountainside of sheep? Not easy. This took me two attempts. An aborted attempt on my birthday left me disappointed and frustrated, wishing I'd purchased the 1:25000, and not the 1:50000. Sob sob.
Thankfully, my family had pity upon me, and I returned a couple days later with new attitude and closer studying of the 1:50000 and guide book. This fresh approach helped me find this quartz...

Log Text: To help us enjoy both an evening visit and be close enough to just walk up for a dawn attempt at the sunrise/moonset double, we used the Camping & Caravan site just at the foot of Maiden Castle itself.
This meant a fairly easy & short walk up to the western entrance - what a delight to have somewhere to leave the campervan & just walk up to such a magnificent location..
For information, the sunrise was about 7.30, with the moon not setting until just after 9am - not often you can catch 2 such lovely times with such a short interval between them. Checking the great Photographers Ephemeris website helps to make me decide whether it might be worth putting an early alarm on - highly recommend it as a source of timing information..

Site Type: Museum
Country: Wales (West Glamorgan)
Visited: Yes on 30th Jun 2007
Margam Stones Museum submitted by pab on 30th Jun 2007. Margam. The Stones Museum contains items from the immediate vicinty, which has been inhabited for over 3000 years when bronze age settlers farmed Margam Mountain. The original Abbey of Margam was founded in 1147 and this picture captures some of the Abbey remains. These ruins are part of the Margam Park country park, adjacent to the Museum. The park/museum are a welcome break for travellers along the M4 (J38).

Mary's House, with the smaller part (on the right) being shown on the plans in the guide book as having originally been a bedroom.
The entrance lobby on the far left was apparently a later addition, dating to the 7th century.
