Kinnerton
Date Added: 27th Jun 2017
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Would like to visit
Kinnerton submitted by TheWhiteRider on 4th Jul 2005. We could only find one of the Kinerton Standing Stones. This one, just visible in the long grass is right next to a footpath. The other, according to the map, is just a little way down the road, but appears to be on private land and is hidden by a high hedge and other foliage. A visit during the Winter months may offer a glimpse of it.

Penywyrlod submitted by dodomad on 21st Apr 2016.
In 2005 Caroline Wilkinson from Dundee University was commissioned to produce a forensic reconstruction of the skull discovered in 1972. Caroline's work involves taking a plaster cast of the skull and positioning pins on it to indicate the likely depth of flesh at a number of key locations. These depths are based on measurements from the faces of modern people of similar racial type. Clay is then used to build up the layers of muscle, before skin and hair are added. The style of hair cut and...

Maen Serth

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Would like to visit
Maen Serth submitted by TimPrevett on 10th Aug 2005. The stone, with the location of Esgair Perfedd to the rear - a Roman Marching Camp said to take up to 4,000 soldiers, and believed to be constructed during the last Campaign against the (for us) Welsh. Did the Romans use these ridge top markers to help follow the route into the mountains? I reckon they did. Then I picture 4,000 tired, but battle ready Roman soldiers passing this stone some 1900 years ago. If the stones could speak...

Great Oak Stone
Date Added: 3rd Feb 2019
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Would like to visit
Great Oak Stone submitted by cerrig on 8th May 2012. This is the view from the South East, on a bearing of approx. 300 degrees North West, along the very flat and dead vertical "smiley"faced Northern flank. If someone hadn't thoughtfully planted a tree in the way you would be able to see that this stone is aligned on the top of Myarth hill (not the summit), beyond this the line goes to Bwllch standing stone, out of site from here. Spookily, if you followed the line in the opposite direction it goes directly through the house I used to live in , in...
