Site Type: Hillfort
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 13th May 2007
Din Sylwy submitted by pab on 13th May 2007. The North face... The Hillfort is on a limestone hill surrounded by a wall of limestone blocks, and it was very difficult at times to work out which 'Master Craftsman' had constructed which!
This stretch of wall (SH5868181666) faces out to sea above Tan Dinas farm.

Werthyr submitted by pab on 10th May 2007. Site in Anglesey (Sir Ynys Mon)
>
As with several local sites, no-one was available to ask permission to get much closer, but worth a brief halt to look!
COFLEIN reports this Menhir to be:
"Situated within enclosed pasture about 200m to the NE of Werthyr Farm, the standing stone measures about 3m in height, 1.8m in thickness from NE to SW by 0.8m in width. Several packing stones are visible around its base.
Source: Cadw scheduling description."

Set in enclosed pasture, this is the 'North Face', showing the extent of undermining by livestock.

St Seiriol's Well submitted by pab on 9th May 2007. Site in Anglesey (Sir Ynys Mon)
Walled gardens are always intriguing, and this one was an absolute haven.
The English version of the plaque reads: "This well is traditionally associated with St Seirol who lived in the 6th century AD. The lower part of the well chamber and the nearby oval hut may go back to early Christian times, but the masonry above was rebuilt in the 18th century." (CADW)

Lledwigan submitted by pab on 9th May 2007. Site in Anglesey (Sir Ynys Mon)
This was the nearest I was able to get to this stone in an otherwise wonderful weekend - across a significant stream and several fields away! Firmly in private land, and insufficient time to locate the owner to ask permission ... something for another visit perhaps.

Newbridge on Wye
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 12th Apr 2007
Newbridge on Wye submitted by pab on 12th Apr 2007. Newbridge-on-Wye: Pen y bont Standing Stone.
Stopped at this today, 12 April 2007, and it seems to have settled slightly since Shropshire Traveller's picture in 2005. It is difficult to be absolutely sure, but the angle of the holes on this face certainly seem slightly more acute, and the surrounding ground is definitely showing the signs of livestock using it for shelter.
RCAHMW reports it as having been found in a hedge in about 1910, so perhaps it was moved to its current location ...

Coed Ynys Faen

Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 11th Apr 2007
Coed Ynys Faen submitted by pab on 11th Apr 2007. Coed Ynys-faen, Stone 2, with track above.
After a very difficult clamber through the bracken and brambles on the steep hillside above the road, this stone was visible roughly in the position next to the track on the RCAHMW map for Stone 2. It was obvious that constructing the track above it had caused so much material to be displaced that it was almost completely covered.
I doubt whether it would be possible to get through most of the year - I happened to be there after a dry spell, be...

Little Walsingham Holy Well
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Norfolk)
Visited: Yes on 10th Apr 2007
Little Walsingham Holy Well submitted by pab on 10th Apr 2007. Holy Well, located next to the ruins of Abbey of St Mary, in Little Walsingham. Site is now part of the Abbey Museum grounds, so a charge is payable (£3, in April 2007). It was not possible for me to remove the cover to have a proper look, but perhaps someone making a pre-arranged visit might be allowed to do so.
The main well was approximately 5m by 5m, with 2 circular wells very close by. There is scope for confusion as to whether this is the 'real well', as there is another one withi...

St Thomas's Well (Wymondham)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Norfolk)
Visited: Yes on 9th Apr 2007
St Thomas's Well (Wymondham) submitted by pab on 9th Apr 2007. No-one at the Abbey seemed to be aware of the location of the Well when I visited just before Easter!
I must admit though that I had not made the connection in my own head between St Thomas' Well and the fact that he Abbey is in a street called Becketswell Road..even though I had lived in the town for several years.
The temporary tennant of this property (who also had heard nothing of a well) was kind enough to let me take these pictures, but it is on private land.
