Cors y Gedol submitted by w650marion on 24th May 2024. Cors y Gedol in one of the lovely sunsets so frequently seen here.
Photo taken July 2021 and it's hanging on my wall at home to remind me of the good things in the world.
In this photo, the large stone on the right is surrounded by light. This will not not be seen now, since the recent illegal additional stonework.
I have not yet heard back from CADW or Gwynedd Archaeological Trust since I informed them of the damage. I suspect that they do not have the money or manpower as there have ...

Log Text: Significant views over the Mawddach estuary and then looking up to the Bwlch y Rhiwgyr ancient trackway as you reach the platform of the circle. Always a pleasure to do this walk and to visit the circle location.

Egryn Abbey, Hengwm, Round Hut Excavated By Ardudwy Early Landscapes Project submitted by pab on 21st Jun 2008. Mynydd Egryn (Mount Egryn). Midway between the 2 tombs of Carneddau Hengwm and the crown-effect cairn circle of Hengwm on the slopes of Mynydd Egryn. A series of circles seem to have been recently excavated. This picture looks over the circle towards NE (the top of Moelfre bearing 11' if that helps locate it)

Log Text: Absolute pleasure to visit here on a sunny day. We usually make it at least once a year and are getting to know the layout of the sites quite well. There are more hut circles to be found in this enormous field and the field next door, but the gorse is getting quite high so it takes a bit of detective work to match them up with the records. Something to look forward to next year.
Hengwm Ring Cairn
Date Added: 14th Dec 2024
Site Type: Ring Cairn
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 19th Sep 2024. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 2
Hengwm Ring Cairn submitted by TimPrevett on 18th Sep 2007. This is a delight not to be missed. If you visit the tombs at Carneddau Hengwm, this is just a few minutes walk away. Take it in, or you'll be kicking yourself. A small ring cairn, with outward leaning stones, and an internal ring recognisable in most of the monument. It appears also to be sited so as to give an impression of being on a ridge. Comparisons with Bryn Cader Faner, which is to the north on another good long, walk, are easy to make.

Coed Cors y Gedol Round House submitted by w650marion on 2nd Mar 2025. It appears in the early spring. The substantial ring of green stones that once was a round house. I like to go and say hello every year, it looks very welcoming. By early summer it will disappear, hidden by brambles and bracken.

Cors y Gedol Round House Settlement submitted by w650marion on 2nd Mar 2025. Close to the footpath, another ring of stones appears in early spring when the brambles and bracken have died back. It was something important once, quite substantial and there is a very welcoming atmosphere. I always say hello and we have a little chat.

Log Text: Simple but very steep 30 minute walk along a waymarked footpath from Gwern Einion. Excellent 360 views from the top. The footpath has been repaired since my unsuccessful attempt two years ago!
The instructions and detailed archaeology plan of the hillfort are in this leaflet -

Gop-y-Goleuni
Date Added: 5th Oct 2019
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Flintshire)
Visited: Yes on 16th Feb 2019
Gop-y-Goleuni submitted by w650marion on 16th Feb 2019. Clearance of trees and shrubs has taken place to improve the site. Work will continue as funding is available to plant appropriate limestone grasses to preserve the soil and keep the cairn secure. A water source will be provided so that sheep can graze and prevent shrub encroachment.
