Maen Llia submitted by cerrig on 24th Mar 2020. There are upwards of 7 stones in this row which is roughly aligned on the Northern face of Maen Llia.
Why it has been called Rhyd Uchaf by Coflein is a bit of a mystery?

Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 1st Aug 2020. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 3
Ffostyll North Chambered Long Barrow submitted by Johnny on 4th Jul 2002. Ffostill North Chambered Long Barrow, Powys (SO 179 349):
Ffostyll North is slightly the larger of the two barrows in this field. It lies east to west and has two or three chambers. The main one, at the eastern end is ruinous. There was a small chamber in the centre of the northern side of the barrow and possibly a third chamber at the western end.

Log Text: As previously mentioned by other visitors, the farmer was very friendly and helpful. I came at the wrong time of year as the barrows were both overgrown with lots of nettles which obscured the features.

Log Text: Was here at sunset which was very beautiful, of course a wonderful view for the ancestors across the Cotswolds to the west. The barrow is kind of in the corner of a field with one big stone at its eastern end.

Log Text: There is an information board about the medieval castle on the footpath approach from Crete Road West, but I don't think it mentions any Iron Age archaeology. Very nice spot overlooking Folkestone and English Channel. Popular with picnicking families, people out for a stroll etc.

44m long 14.6m wide 2.1m high. Evidence of a 1.5m deep Ditch on E, W and S sides. The barrow was constructed from turf covered with chalk ( no stone burial chamber). Flint axe head dated 2000 BC found in turf core.
A chalk pit has damaged part of the northern end at which time burials may have been destroyed.
Romano-british burials (A.D.50) found in upper layer of ditch.

Log Text: Location is very nice - the north end of the barrow looks down from a ridge onto the river below. difficult to find without an OS map - climb footpath from the river and turn right at junction after climbing for about 200 meters. Or take an OS map :)

Log Text: Possibly important to note that Kent Archaeology dates these barrows to the Anglo-Saxon period so not prehistoric.
I had my chauffeur waiting so I couldn't explore properly, in my short visit it was difficult to count the barrows as it looked like some may have had trenches cut through the top of them, dividing them in two. also trenches to the side of them and what looked like half of one (or two) barrows had been cut away revealing what might possibly be a layer of chalk rubble used in the construction of the barrow (or it might just occur naturally there).
The location is atmospheric, high on a hill with wind whistling though the trees and intimations of mortality despite a nearby house and some rubbish strewn around.
