Date Added: 2nd Aug 2020
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Powys)

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.

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?

Knocking Knoll submitted by bec-zog on 21st Jan 2004. Knocking Knoll Barrow : near Pegsdon. On county border. Partially damaged by ploughing. TL13323104
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: On a high exposed hill with particularly long views to E and W. What remains of the barrow is quite circular but long, more tapering west facing side and ploughed field just behind the East side suggest it could originally have been elongated along E-W axis.
Apparently the barrow straddles the border between Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire which could be the reason that the E end is more ploughed out.
Historic England website records it as a bowl barrow, but the Pastscape website suggests that it is a long barrow that has been damaged by ploughing.

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.

Chestnuts

Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Kent)
Visited: Yes on 1st Feb 2017. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 3
Chestnuts submitted by enkidu41 on 8th Apr 2004. The stones are massive (the 2 capstones and some uprights weigh up to 10 tons) and once formed a rectangular chamber 12' long and 7' high entered through a facade of sarsen stones. The owner will suggest you try dowsing rods. Do so, because you will be able to trace out the full extent of the chamber and long gone mound. TQ 652 592
