Moel Ty Uchaf submitted by DJMace on 9th Nov 2020. Very nice example of a cairn circle in a spectacular location and well worth the hike. A straight walk up the hill along a rough track after passing through two metal gates. Continue on up and the circle is on left hand side. You won't be disappointed.

Lligwy Burial Chamber
Date Added: 15th Sep 2021
Site Type: Chambered Tomb

Visited: Yes on 14th Sep 2021. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 5
Lligwy Burial Chamber submitted by Jimwithnoname on 8th Sep 2011. Amazing dolmen and very unnerving sat underneath the 25 ton capstone. It's perched on very little it seems on the one side. The warden approached us as we sat eating at the site. He asked if we were thinking of stopping the night, which we were, but as he said. that's a no no. We respected him and moved on after our picnic. He was quite pleasant and only doing his job. Many people wild camp as he said, and set fire to crops or drive through hedges!

Log Text: I parked in a big layby on the next corner to the footpath and the nice farmer directed me to the stones. There are about three stone wall stiles that involve a bit of a climb. Then the stones just pop out at you on the left, and are pretty impressive.
It seems to me that this is only part of a monument- I suspect there were originally more stones in the adjacent field, which is now at a much lower level, the possible stone circle having been truncated by the later stone wall and half removed/ploughed out.
One of the stones is distinctly 'bent' in profile and has quite a male presence. It has quartz veins running through it which seemed to me to be significant.
Really pleased that I made the effort to see this-even though I was chased out the last field by a herd of bullocks!

Neolithic cup and ring carvings were discovered this summer on the Binn, a hill just north of Burntisland. The hill is known simply as the Binn - a volcanic plug, the name is thought to be derived from the Brythonic Bryn - hill, degraded over the years simply to Binn. From the Cowdenbeath road, take the path signposted 'To Standing Stanes Road' (leads to Glassmount stones). Head uphill, over the first stile, cross the field and over the second stile. Bear up on the right han...
