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)
Date Added: 14th Jun 2014
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Cheshire)
Visited: Yes on 14th Jun 2014. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 2 Access 3
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.

Could only locate 4 of the stones due to the surrounding reeds.No sign of the recumbant stone either.

Castle Ring (Staffordshire) submitted by TimPrevett on 5th Jan 2004. Castle Ring SK045128
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...

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!!

Log Text: Busy with walkers and dogs so hard to capture the true ambience!
Walked the inner ditch on SE and SW sides.Massive inner rampart
No ditch or rampart on other two sides due to it being a 'promontary fort' Therefore due to the terrain,no defences were needed at the NW and NE sides.
