Carn Briw
Date Added: 3rd Dec 2024
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Yes on 19th Oct 2024. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 3
Carn Briw submitted by pab on 21st Oct 2007. Carn Briw, from the northern slopes of Mynydd Ingli, on which the wonderful Carn Ingli 'sits' - or should that be 'is enthroned'?
COFLEIN refers to this as simply "A disturbed cairn, 17m in diameter and 1.8m high." The name Carn Briw in fact means just ...'shattered heap of stones'!
What a sad name for such an atmospheric place.

Date Added: 5th Apr 2024

Yr Eifl cairns submitted by h_fenton on 15th Mar 2011. Yr Eifl cairns (564metres above sea level) viewed from roughly east.
Cairn 1 is on the right side of the photo, the OS trig point here is built of stone so it is difficult to see. just below the cairn is a small patch of yellow. this is the backpack of a mountainbiker who is sitting on the ground out of the wind, if you look very closely just to the left you can see his mountain bike for scale.
Cairn 2 is to the left of cairn 1 , but is difficult to see.

Mynydd Rhiw Neolithic axe factory
Date Added: 5th Apr 2024
Site Type: Ancient Mine, Quarry or other Industry
Country: Wales (Gwynedd)
Visited: Yes on 24th Mar 2024. My rating: Condition 1 Ambience 4 Access 3
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.
