Hindwell Enclosure

Site Type: Timber Circle
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 9th Aug 2008
Hindwell Enclosure submitted by AngieLake on 9th Aug 2008. NB: Copyright: Rodney Castleden from his book 'Britain 3000 BC'.
I am sure Mr Castleden wouldn't begrudge us the use of this helpful map on p.71 of the above book, to enable us to understand the layout of the various sites in the Walton Basin. He describes this area's prehistory under the heading 'Hindwell - a major ceremonial focus in Wales.'
(Note the Fourstones, upper left.)

St Lythans
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (South Glamorgan)
Visited: Yes on 19th Jul 2008
St Lythans submitted by AngieLake on 19th Jul 2008. The 'St Lythans Guardian'.
I first noticed the amazing (and quite spooky) human likeness of this stone in 2002, and it seems even more striking now, on a 2nd visit.
[The hole is the mouth, and two depressions where eyes would be. The rest of the 'body' is about right for size ratio. Was this intended, I wonder?]

Old Radnor Church
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 5th Jul 2008
Old Radnor Church submitted by AngieLake on 5th Jul 2008. Tim - this is for you! The old font in Old Radnor church that is believed to come from a megalithic stone - "probably the largest and oldest font in Britain" (quote from an old 'Red Guide' to Wales).
On the day I visited (6th June 08), volunteers were cutting the grass in the churchyard, so maybe that was why the door to the church was open?

Lough Gur E
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: Ireland (Republic of) (Co. Limerick)
Visited: Yes on 15th Mar 2008
Lough Gur E submitted by AngieLake on 15th Mar 2008. This site, taken from camcorder footage from the field gate, was just across the road, to the right of the farmhouse when viewed from Grange circle. Therefore, it must have been NW. The farmer showed me the site but I didn't go into the field to read the sign by the stones, and because it was 7 years ago, I don't recall what the farmer said about it!
