Tregeseal East
Date Added: 18th Jan 2011
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 17th Sep 2010. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
Tregeseal East submitted by Andy B on 24th Mar 2010. Photo from June 2009. The cattle were supposed to trample down the bracken but only ate the grass within the circle, destabilising several stones that, after we reported it to the Historic Environment Service in Truro, had to be secured. The HES then organised a manual cutting of surrounding bracken to give the cattle more space away from the circle!
So far this is the only major site to be affected, others not yet being grazed although it is planned to do this at Men-an-Tol and Lanyon Quoit.

Castell Goetre
Trip No.2 Entry No.1 Date Added: 17th Jan 2011
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: Wales (Ceredigion)
Visited: Yes on 12th Oct 2010
Castell Goetre submitted by Andy B on 12th Oct 2010. Castell Goetre (Possibly from Goed-Tref or 'settlement in the wood') is an Iron Age hill fort on the ridgeway between the Teifi and Dulas valleys. It is located in the northwest of this square and extends into SN6051 to the north.
The fort, now populated by sheep and home to a small reservoir, consists of an oval banked and ditched enclosure with a cross-bank through the centre, possibly part of an earlier phase. From ground level it appears much eroded but in places is still well defined, as ...

Garn Fawr (Ogmore Valley)
Date Added: 28th Dec 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (South Glamorgan)
Visited: Yes on 13th Oct 2010
Garn Fawr (Ogmore Valley) submitted by Andy B on 13th Oct 2010. At this trig point are two Cairns, the larger one is a much better construction than the nearest. To the right of the nearest are two piles of stones one larger than the other, it seems possible that these piles have been robbed to make the existing cairns.

Carn-Y-Bugail submitted by Andy B on 18th Oct 2010. Garn Felen summit trig point in hailstorm
Two ancient cairns are clearly visible on the horizon beyond the John Kyrle High School Duke of Edinburgh Award students.
This limestone mountain has been extensively quarried on its northwest side but much of it retains a great sense of remoteness. From here there are good views of the central ridges of the Brecon Beacons to the north-west and the Bristol Channel may be glimpsed in the opposite direction.

This one, as is often the case, has a beautiful situation. It is one of several nearby, the largest by far being that at Gurness, 3 km to the NE. They are of course, a Pictish construction.
