Merry Maidens (Circle)
Date Added: 26th Feb 2011
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Would like to visit
Merry Maidens (Circle) submitted by JimChampion on 27th Oct 2006. August 2005. The Merry Maidens under fluffy white clouds. I rediscovered this photo and selectively manipulated the contrast so that you can now see the stones (previously they were too dark). I've uploaded a similar photo to Wikimedia Commons - they need pictures of ancient sites for use on free sites like Wikipedia.

Merrivale SW row 3 submitted by AngieLake on 29th Oct 2004. In the foreground, Merrivale Single Row 3 (see thecaptain's overview plan) at sunset on 21st September, the day before the Autumn Equinox, 2004. In the distance, in the glare of the setting sun, can be seen the two west end stones of the southern row. Two other taller stones on the south side of that southern row are also visible above centre, and to right of pic. ('Thecaptain' has a theory that these, and other taller stones in the rows, align with the menhir at certain times of the year.) T...

Merrivale NW submitted by thecaptain on 6th Nov 2004. Just to the south of the western end of the Merrivale southern avenue are the remains of a once large cairn with retaining circle.
The stones from this cairn were removed in 1851 to mend the road, leaving just a circle of uneven ground, with a few slabs remaining in an outer bank.

Merrivale North Row

Merrivale North Row submitted by stewart on 12th Oct 2003. Grid Ref SX 555 747
There are two, main, rows at Merrivale - North and South.
The north row consists of two lines of stones, aligned east -west and nearly 200m long.
However, the two lines of stones are only about 1m apart so you can only just walk between them. It has larger stones at the west end and a blocking stone at the east.
The southern row doesn't start or finish on the same alignment, is not parallel to the northern one and was, probably, not built at the same time.

Log Text: This is a very easy site to visit, you need to park on the main road that runs between Newport and Moylegrove. A short walk up the access path to Penlan Farm which bears round to the left and the monument can be found via a stile in a field on your right. You do not need permission from Penlan Farm.

King's Quoit, Manorbier submitted by sem on 25th Aug 2004. Looking SW,the view here is outstanding.This must have been a very sought after plot of Neolithic real-estate.It is set in a hollow on the cliffside lined with stones bigger than any but the capstone.Children & Nash suggest "no covering mound would have existed because the ledge.....is far too narrow."

The Kings Quoit is located south west on a small bank above a cliff face immediately adjacent to the Pembrokeshire coastal foot path approximately 300m from the beach at Manorbeir Bay
Description
The monument which faces inland towards Manorbeir consists of a huge single capstone of local stone supported by two uprights, although a third upright located at the south eastern end, which is now probably collapsed. The position of the three uprights suggests that the chamber was originally rectangular. The Kings Quoit maybe regarded as ‘Earth Fast’ belonging to the sub-megalithic classification.

Log Text: Hetty Peglers Tump or Uleybury Long Barrow can be accessed by parking by the side of the road with a short walk across a field, when I last went the the entrance was locked but I understand that there is now access to the interior which from a visit in the 1990's is very impressive but you will need to crouch really low to enter.

NGR: SN17052564 (Landranger map 145/Outdoor Leisure North Pembrokeshire map (No 35))
Located 6km south east of Crymych in Carmarthenshire on a steep wooded ridge overlooking the River Taff (at this point the river changes character from slow flowing to rapids).
The large capstone (pointing towards the river to the west) is supported by four uprights. The tomb would once have been covered by an oval or circular mound - s...

From Crymych travel south on the A478 to the hamlet of Glandy Cross, turn left towards Llanglydwen for approximately 4Km. Drive through the village past the Bont pub. Turn right towards Login and pull into the lay by on the right. Around 100 yards is the start of the footpath marked ‘Penpontbren’ walk down this path following the wood which is on the right for between 10 and 15 minutes until you come to a steel farm gate, climb over the gate and take the left hand path for approximately 100 yards to the monument.
This impressive monument consists of a large single capstone supported by four uprights which appear to delineate a polygonal chamber. A fifth upright was recorded by Barnwell in 1872 suggesting that this formed an entrance. Surrounding the monument is a series of kerb stones which are possibly the remnants of an earthen mound.

You know, spine tingling standing at this circle in anticipation of the sunrise and when those rays finally come through the stones from low on the horizon and light you up and you feel the warmth of the sun, whilst birds are singing and the cuckoo in the distance is calling and life is awakening for the longest day of the year it TRULY is a magical experience and the second time in 3 years I have had the good fortune of the weather being on my side...
