Log Text: Stumbled accross this site by accident.
Was visiting a nearby castle and saw on one of the walls an old plan of ''Monument Celtique De Fresnicourt''.
The plan showed what had supposeddly been 4 dolmens linked by standing stones.In the central area was an eliptical stone circle radiating out from the Northern Dolmen.
The plan was undated.All very fanciful and possibly the delusions/wishful thinking of some Victorian(?) era antiquarian.
The Fresnicourt dolmen was well signposted from the village and was situated right by the side of the road.Without doubt the easiest site i've ever visited.
If there were ever another 3 dolmens plus standing stones,then i never saw any sign of them.

Log Text: Walked up to the hillfort during a visit to Croft Castle (National Trust).
A leaflet was available from the N.T giving directions plus a number of 'points of interest' ie gateways,site of a rectangular structure (granary?),site of a Romano-British structure (Temple/Sanctuary?) but due to the time of year the bracken obscured just about everything,rendering much of the hillfort unrecognisable as such.
I will revisit during the winter months when the 6' plus vegetation has died back!!
Also couldn't locate the spring on this vist - maybe next time.

Nordy Bank submitted by TimPrevett on 5th May 2005. Towards the end of my visit here, three men arrived and spent considerable time debating and pointing upon the NW rampart; they were there so long I had to grab a photo to help put the sense of scale to the place.

Log Text: Visited as part of walk around the Clee Hills.
Amazing views - you can see why the hillfort was built here.
Shame that the rampart has been quarried into,but it was still good to visit a hillfort that's not covered by trees!

Caer Caradoc (Church Stretton) submitted by TimPrevett on 28th Jun 2004. Caer Caradoc, taken from a northwest angle on a lovely summer's morning. Indeed, this offers some formidable defense. If this were the place of Caratacus' last stand against the Romans, this would have indeed been something difficult to conquer, even by Roman standards. However, there is no evidence to confirm this suggestion.

Log Text: Another hillfort i've been meaning to visit for some time - and this time it was worth it!! Stiff climb up there,but worth the effort.I don't subscribe to the view that this was the site of Caratacus's last stand but i'm sure that he would have visited this hillfort - a site which must have been used a garrison/forward base against the Romans at Virconium.

Brenig 6 submitted by TimPrevett on 20th Feb 2006. The small cairn of Brenig 6. Also reconstructed in situ, with posts denoting where posts contemporary with the cairn were discovered. Its low position in the landscape is puzzling. Most cairns sit high on ridges on spurs with good visibility in at least one direction. This does not. This view looks to the South West, with Maen Cleddau below the ridge.

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.

Maiden Castle (Cheshire) submitted by PaulM on 13th Jan 2004. Approximately two thirds of the way along the ramparts lies this inturned entrance, designed to protect the fort’s point of greatest weakness. The entrance narrows from circa 5 metres at the outer rampart to 2.5 metres at the end of the inner rampart and was protected by a gate about two thirds of the way down, the postholes of which were discovered during excavations in 1934 and 1935.

Log Text: After a 1.5 hour drive to get here i must admit i was disapointed with this hillfort.Unless you knew it was there/what to look for it'd be very easy to just pass it by.
A good site up on the promontory for a fort but now very liitle to see and virtualy no ambience whatsoever.
One to 'tick off the list' but not one i want to return to.

Wychbury Camp submitted by Andy B on 18th Jun 2011. Wychbury Hill Fort - Southern Rampart
The hill fort occupies a position on the end of the Clent Hills. It is very much hidden by the trees but would have views to other forts on the Malverns, Clee Hill and Dudley.

Log Text: Appeared to be 3 ramparts and ditches running most of the way between the East and South West entances.
Both entrances are inturned with the East one being a paticularly good example.
Site also has approx 20+ yew trees growing both inside the fort and on its ramparts and in the ditches.

Tyfos submitted by vicky on 7th Jun 2002. Tyfos Circle, Llandrillo, Denbighshire GR: SJ028388
This fantastic little circle lies in a farmer's field adjacent to a country lane near Llandrillo. Around 20 stones stand in a ring which has been described as either a denuded ringcairn or a free-standing stone circle. Although it is on private land it is well worth a visit and there are several gaps in the hedge making viewing easy.

Looking E / NE - despite Castle Ring being the highest part of Cannock Chase, the only part with a panoramic view, looks towards (Rugeley?) Power Station!
Castle Ring was actually recommended to me by a colleague at work who does not know of my stones / pre-history interest; she grew up in the Cannock area, and given we were making a trip to Stafford anyway, I'd heard that Cannock Chase was supposed to quite nice. Knowing that she grew up there, I
asked her if Cannock...

Log Text: Yet another visit to this marvellous place.
At times there is a tangible feel here of 'something else'. There are many stories of sightings here,including Roman legionaires,some sort of 'Bigfoot' and cowled figures.Never seen anything myself but there is cerainly a vibe here!!
One to return to.
