Bannau Sir Gaer
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Carmarthenshire)
Visited: Yes on 20th Apr 2008
Bannau Sir Gaer submitted by pab on 20th Apr 2008. As noted in RCAHMW description, many of these stones in this circle are difficult to find - especially if the grass ever gets a chance to grow!
This picture picks out the stones which were visible on our latest walk around the wonderful Carmarthen Fan circuit.

Llyn y Fan Fawr
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 20th Apr 2008
Llyn y Fan Fawr submitted by pab on 20th Apr 2008. Line of harder rock is clearly visible in this picture (Feb 08) a quarter of the way down Carmarthen Fan northern slope.
When the ice retreated north from the Beacons, much of this material will have been deposited on the lower levels - presumably it will have withstood erosion down there in the same way as it has on the slopes?
Will this not explain the many layered stones doted around north of the ridges?

Castell Bach (Pen y Graig) submitted by pab on 13th Apr 2008. Castell Bach, near Pen y Graig Farm, as seen from the coastal path between New Quay and Llangranog, Ceredigion.
RCAHMW lists the site as having an 'enclosure complex' with a 90m stretch of rampart & ditch at the edge of a plain, about 100-130m across.
The severe coastal erosion has destroyed much of the original area, but it has left a unique cross section across the ditch which is visible over the bay.
RCAHMW also reports the complex to have included circular features identifia...

Across the circle to the bay - it may be modern, but it is a wonderfully pleasant spot to think away the modern world!

Cerrig Duon stone circle
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Jan 2008
Cerrig Duon stone circle submitted by pab on 2nd Jan 2008. Newly split stones. Just north of Cerrig Duon, there are many split and/or splitting stones scattered around. Fascinated (but not very knowledgeable) as I am by geology, I particularly liked this one which had obviously come apart fairly recently, as the 2 parts fitted together perfectly.
I assume that the severe temperature changes up here mean that frost can get into the layers in the sedimentary rocks and eventually erode & split them apart? This one was about 1m long, in a stream near...

King's Quoit, Manorbier submitted by PAB on 1st Dec 2007. Taken 1st December 2007. Most pictures give the impression that Kings Quoit is right on the edge of a precipice, which is slightly misleading. This one was taken from the beach on 1st Dec, between some very heavy showers!

Carn Briw
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Yes on 21st Oct 2007
Carn Briw submitted by pab on 21st Oct 2007. Carn Briw, from the northern slopes of Mynydd Ingli, on which the wonderful Carn Ingli 'sits' - or should that be 'is enthroned'?
COFLEIN refers to this as simply "A disturbed cairn, 17m in diameter and 1.8m high." The name Carn Briw in fact means just ...'shattered heap of stones'!
What a sad name for such an atmospheric place.
