Mayburgh
Date Added: 19th Aug 2024
Site Type: Henge
Country: England (Cumbria)
Visited: Yes on 12th Aug 2024. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
Mayburgh submitted by wildtalents on 15th May 2024. The henge banks at Mayburgh were built up mainly using cobbles like those surrounding the one remaining megalith at the site. It's a really large structure and may have been a meeting point for many hundreds of people at a time. These days mainly sheep throng the henge. Image from spring 2023.

Log Text: Finally managed to visit after a number of visits called off due to poor weather. Incredible scale, especially considering it being built from cobbles taken from the river. Was once told it is made up of three colours of rock, from three different sources?

Mynydd Rhiw Neolithic axe factory submitted by pab on 8th Feb 2009. Neolithic axe factory on Mynydd Rhiw, Lleyn Peninsular. The disturbed ground is from the 2007 excavations referred to elsewhere in these postings - having left it till now to post, I assume they will no longer show on the ground.
The picture is taken looking north-east, so both Caernarfon Bay and Cardigan Bay can be seen - with Yr Eifi and its magnificent iron age settlement visible on the skyline leading towards Snowdonia.
