Pentre Ifan submitted by Horatio on 22nd Jun 2020. A year later and back at Pentre Ifan for the solstice sunset, all on my own some (apart from a 13yr old Jack Russell this time) I Was expecting at least to see one other (person not Jack Russell) at this site for the sunset.
That morning I'd gone to see the sunrise at Gors Fawr stone circle and even left my house in the rain knowing there was zero chance of seeing a sunrise, I definitely was not disappointed, crap weather but I enjoyed being amongst the stones as the solstice sun rose, the cu...

Carn Alw submitted by Horatio on 27th Aug 2019. Carn Alw hill fort from the west, hard to see but from about the level of the dip in the crags running to the right is a broad, carefully delimited zone of 'chevaux-de-frise'. Not easy to see in this photo and stupidly I was stood amongst it admiring and commenting on it and I totally forgot to get 'the photo'.

Located close to the centre of Newport in Pembrokeshire with public access. Although called a tripod dolmen four uprights exist - only two of which support the capstone (which is said to replicate the summit of Carn Ingli to the south).
Excavations have revealed cremated bone, Beaker and Grooved ware sherds.
