Brenig 51
Date Added: 5th Jan 2016
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Would like to visit
Brenig 51 submitted by TimPrevett on 13th Feb 2006. The reconstructed Platform Cairn, aka Brenig 51. This magnificent monument was a complete surprise - 26 small stones in a perfect circle, with a 7 metre wide flat cairn ring around, raised a couple feet above the ground. The most unusual cairn I have seen to date. Wonderful. This is a composite of 3 shots, looking to the S over Llyn Brenig.

Brenig 46
Date Added: 5th Jan 2016
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Would like to visit
Brenig 46 submitted by TimPrevett on 20th Feb 2006. The more ruinous Brenig 46 Cairn, looking SW, with Portal user whatisthat in the background. Many of the cairns here have been reconstructed in situ. Obviously, this one has not been! Nonetheless, I'll often walk miles to see something like this, so still worthwhile. This cairn is situated north of a mediaeval Hafod - a summer grazing base, called Sion Lwyd. We kept wanting to call it Sian Lloyd!

Din Lligwy submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd Jul 2002. Lligwy Ancient Settlement SH497861
This settlement, NW from Moelfre and not far from the Lligwy burial chamber is huge! A short walk from parking space for maybe 3 cars, through woodland, this location can occupy a considerable amount of time exploring the nooks & crannies of this probable 4th century AD settlement.

Log Text: I had read so much about this site I was prepared to be disappointed but I wasn't. It really is magnificent and has finally been opened to the public again. Ok, so it would be preferable to see it in the open air but it would have to be partly reburied to protect it and the truly massive proportions would have been hidden again. The visitor centre has yet to be completed internally and hopefully the finds will be returned from the museum in A Coruna including the 20 "idolinos" found at the entrance to the passage. There are many more megaliths in the area - mostly off the beaten track and not as huge as this....and loads more fantastic sites in Galicia. Highly recommended!

Droughduil Mote submitted by andyturner on 9th Apr 2004. NX148567
Dunragit, by Stranraer, Dumfries & Galloway.
Originally thought to be the earth mound of a 12th century castle, recent excavation has now shown the Mote to be contemporary with an adjacent system of three massive concentric timber circles dated approx 2500 BC.

Log Text: It has been tidied up quite a bit since my last visit in 2014 and the interior has been emptied out and levelled off with hardcore. It's a bit neat now! I'm not sure how much is original and how much has been rebuilt recently.

Temple Wood S submitted by funsize on 4th Jun 2007. This is a cracking site. Large cobble mound with slivers of upright slabs and a central cist. Very accessible and one of many impressive sites within a small area of the Kilmartin Valley. This shows the larger cairn, there is a smaller one ringed by trees a stones throw to the south west.

Nether Largie South submitted by Fairycake on 26th Sep 2020. Looking towards the cairn from the south with the large cist in the foreground. This is by far the biggest cist I have seen. There are several inserted into earlier monuments near to here, apart from this, showing these sites continued to have significance over a long period of time.

Ri Cruin submitted by caradoc68 on 23rd Feb 2012. This lovely cairn dates from the Bronze Age and is pretty new when it comes to the Kilmartin landscape. Hidden away in some trees just of the beaten track with its two kist's, this Cairn has a lot to offer with its large Kist's and its rock art of axeheads and possibly a caving of a boat in one of these kists !!.

Ormaig submitted by rockartuk on 18th Aug 2001. On the West slope of Creag Mhor (NM 8222 0267) you may find a magnificent series of over 200 carvings, many in 'mint' condition. They were recently (1973) uncovered. This is a detail of two of the three rosettes of different sizes. This realy cheers you up!

Log Text: I visited this wonderful site during the spectacular art and theatre experience "Half Life" in Sep 2007 - truly memorable. Various art installations were dotted around the landscape culminating in one of life's extraordinary experiences, a theatrical presentation by NVA and the National Theatre of Scotland in the forest at Achnabreac. At that time, Ormaig was still hidden within the forest though a clearing had been made with bare fir trees screening the view to the loch below. Walking up to the site through the trees was magical then. Some of the trees had symbols burned into them, marking the route. Presumably this was allowed as the trees were felled not long after. I'll post a few photos of Ormaig as it was then - not great quality, but to show the site before te trees were cleared.
