Craig-Y-Fan Ddu submitted by TheCaptain on 14th Nov 2007. What I found was many stones standing proud of the steep southeastern facing hillside, with the majority of them seemingly arranged in three rows running around the hillside.

Moel Goedog W submitted by w650marion on 12th Jul 2018. Just visited this favourite circle of mine and I was so sad to see that the plough has been taken so close to it. This is a comparison of this year's visit to last year's visit .

Gray Hill stone row submitted by TheCaptain on 2nd Apr 2004. Grey Hill or Gray Hill Stone Row, Monmouthshire, ST437936 - ST438935
Looking to the south down the hill, is a fairly reasonable alignment of 5 stones in a row, which sort of joins between the jumbled stone remains on the top of the hill and the stone circle.

Gray Hill circle submitted by sem on 6th May 2013. Vandalism!
The idiot who sprayed this hand-print probably thought he was being very clever and somehow "enhancing" the work of his ancestors. The sane and sensible among us will view it for what it is, graffiti.
This has been reported to the relevant archaeo trust. Unfortunately I doubt the culprit will be found..... unless anyone knows of someone bragging on a social network site????

Gray Hill summit cairn submitted by TheCaptain on 2nd Apr 2004. Grey Hill or Gray Hill, Monmouthshire. Cairn atop hill at ST434936
Right on the top of the hill, with spectacular views all around is the remains of an ancient, but well worn cairn. I could have been imagining it, but did this cairn once have a kerbed ring around it, and some internal structures ?
