Log Text: A second trip to the 9 Maidens this week, the field was still absolutely sodden, and we were over our ankles in places, which seemed strange as it is all on a reasonable slope and looked like it should drain reasonably well. At the far side of the field are the Maidens, 9 evenly spaced stones, a couple of which are now only stumps. However, the field and hedges around here are littered with large stones, and there is no doubt that there once could have been many more in this row.

Log Text: A walk along the coast path from Chapel Porth around St Agnes Head to Trevaunance Cove, meeting up with family for lunch at Schooners bar. A lovely walk with lots of old mine remains, I realise that I am near to where the remains of New Downs stone circle are to be found. There are several large boulders spread across the heath in the region and as I head to where I think the circle should be, I see a lovely grass snake romping across the ground. What a thrill. It is hard to be sure that this was once a circle, but there is certainly a stony cairn, with two large stones set about equal distance radially from he centre. Several other stones nearby may well once been a part of a circle around the cairn here.

Nash Point Barrows submitted by sem on 5th Nov 2012. Thank the wall
If it were not for the wall these barrows would merge into the background. Even with it there, they only appear as green lumps against it's grey stones.

Mynydd Bach Cairn 2 submitted by TheCaptain on 25th Mar 2020. Found the remains of this cairn fairly easily, making a circular patch of green grass amongst the gorse and other growth. It is not a great monument being very flattened and destroyed, and also the whole area is absolutely covered with rubbish of all sorts.

Log Text: First cairn of four marked on the OS Map during a walk from the Sirhowy Country Park around the Cwmfelinfach valley, up the Sirhowy River and back along the Rhymney Ridgeway path. Found the remains of this cairn fairly easily, making a circular patch of green grass amongst the gorse and other growth. It is not a great monument being very flattened and destroyed, and also the whole area is absolutely covered with rubbish of all sorts. The whole area is used by people for offroading and all sorts of other activities, some not so wholesome.

Log Text: The Portugese National Museum of Archaeology is in the building adjacent to the wonderful Mosteiro dos Jerónimos. It is is the largest Archaeological museum in Portugal and one of the most important museums in the world devoted to ancient art found in the Iberian Peninsula.
We didn't have long here at the end of a busy day, but had a quick look around the fabulous display of ancient gold and other objects from prehistorical times, the Egyptian gallery and the large Lusitanian (Portugal in the times of the Romans) displays. This is somewhere which would justify many small visits or perhaps a whole day.
Nearby to the bag lockers are a couple of ancient standing stones, one with a large square spiral carving, and the other worked into a very phallic shape.
