Y Capel
Date Added: 9th Jun 2011
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 24th Oct 2006
Y Capel submitted by Tom_Bullock on 24th Oct 2006. The OS Map shows a 'Stone Circle' at these coordinates. The stones forming this 82–foot diameter circle are small, the tallest being 2–feet and located at the N. Some of them are at ground level or merely stubs. But they are sited atop a small hillock providing fine views of the surrounding countryside. Although the stones themselves cannot be seen from a distance along the long approach, the tall grass clumps adjacent to the stones are a good marker for identifying and navigating to the sit...

Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 24th Oct 2006
Gwastadgoed submitted by Tom_Bullock on 24th Oct 2006. According to the www.megalithic.co.uk site, there are two standing stones at this site, which is what I found there. The stone at the N is 3–feet tall, while that at the N, 30 feet away, is 5–feet tall.

Pen-Y-Stryd
Date Added: 9th Jun 2011
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 24th Oct 2006
Pen-Y-Stryd submitted by Tom_Bullock on 24th Oct 2006. The OS Map shows nothing at these coordinates. Burl lists this circle as ruined but recognizable in his Stone Circle Gazetteer (2000). I don't think so, at least not at the provided coordinates. There are some scattered stones amidst the tall grass, but I can only make out an arrangement if I desparately need to find one to justify the time, effort and cost of getting there.

Moel Goedog E
Date Added: 9th Jun 2011
Site Type: Ring Cairn
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 24th Oct 2006
Moel Goedog E submitted by Tom_Bullock on 24th Oct 2006. The OS Map shows 'Cairn Circles' at these coordinates. Two cairn circles stand within 160 feet of one another, generally sited E–W of one another. The one at the coordinates consists of shoulder–to–shoulder stones in a circle, as does the one to the W at SN61013245. The latter appears to have several standing stones external to those in the ring and that form a circle around them. The tallest stones are about 2–feet high.

Preseb y Fawch Frech
Date Added: 9th Jun 2011
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Denbighshire)
Visited: Yes on 24th Oct 2006
Preseb y Fawch Frech submitted by Tom_Bullock on 24th Oct 2006. The OS Map shows nothing at these coordinates. The coordinates place the site within an impenetrable, dense forest within 100m of an access road. I did not even attempt to search for stones.

Capel Hiraethog III
Date Added: 9th Jun 2011
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Denbighshire)
Visited: Yes on 24th Oct 2006
Capel Hiraethog III submitted by Tom_Bullock on 24th Oct 2006. The OS Map shows 'Tumulus' at these coordinates. The coordinates place the site in the middle of a roadway in the middle of a forest plantation. I found nothing that resembled a Tumulus as shown on the OS Map, nor a round barrow that is indicated on the www.megalithic.co.uk website.

Bwlch y Ddeufaen
Date Added: 9th Jun 2011
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Oct 2006
Bwlch y Ddeufaen submitted by Tom_Bullock on 23rd Oct 2006. The OS Map shows 'Cairns' and 'Standing Stones' at these coordinates. There are reportedly two standing stones, 10- and 6-feet tall, in a NW-SE alignment at this location. There is some confusion about this site: Burl does not list it in his book on Circles. The 10-foot stone is located at these coordinates, and has a companion stone located closeby.

Maen Penddu
Date Added: 9th Jun 2011
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Oct 2006
Maen Penddu submitted by Tom_Bullock on 23rd Oct 2006. The OS Map shows 'Standing Stone' close to these coordinates. According to one visitor, the ring has absurdly small stones, no higher than 1-foot, and easily lost under the bilberry and heather. Located just NW of the Maen Penddu standing stone, it is situated on a flat area, just beneath the highest terrain. After a long trek up and across some dramatic landscape, I was disappointed not to find evidence of the reported stone circle at the supplied coordinates. There are quite a few stones in th...

Ru Ardvule
Date Added: 9th Jun 2011
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: Scotland (South Uist)
Visited: Yes on 14th Feb 2005
Ru Ardvule submitted by Tom_Bullock on 14th Feb 2005. The wooden post marks the stone the tip of which may be seen. In 1914 this stone stood 7' high. Clearly, in a little over 90 years windblown sand has accumulated to a depth of over 8' and would completely cover the stone but for regular clearance.Photo used by kind permission of Tom Bullock. More details of this location are to be found on his Stone Circles and Rows CD-ROM.
