Culbone Hill submitted by TimPrevett on 5th Jul 2002. Culbone Hill Stone Row
SS832473
Date Visited Sunday 7th May 2000
Due to the explicit request not to go off the path, I did not get much evidence of the stone row. This was maddeningly frustrating, given its imminent proximity! However, having studied the map, I went back to where the car was parked, turned left further up the track, and then left up another track, where it intersects the stone row (fenced off with barbed wire). Two stones were just visible to my left through the dense ov...

Maen Mawr submitted by AngieLake on 8th Aug 2005. This view of Maen Mawr looks north towards the even-shaped flat-topped mountain that blocks the north aspect of this lovely symmetrical valley. The larger Fan Brycheiniog mountain is out of sight to the NW of this view. Behind me is Cerrig Duon circle, overlooking the alternate E/W folds either side of the southern slopes of the valley from the semi-circular south end of this platform.

The gateposts look quite square unlike the other two s...

The Tryfel Stones submitted by SandyG on 13th Jan 2019. Plan of Tryfel stone row (Source 1:100 survey by Sandy Gerrard). Recumbent stones are shown green and those whose extent could not be determined are depicted as green circles. Only 11 stones were identified at the time of the survey but given the tiny size of some stones others may survive below the turf.

Threestoneburn submitted by Creative Commons on 19th May 2013. Also known as Ilderton Stone Circle. The view here is easterly, with your back to the forest fence, looking back down the valley towards Threestoneburn House.
Some of my friends taken on the long walk here would have said, "OK, it's a stone circle but it's hardly Stonehenge or Calanais, is it?".
No it's not Stonehenge or Calanais; it's a north-east stone circle. We do it differently up here. We put rough stones in a rough circle. Job done. Not for us this hacking great lumps of stone...

Log Text: This is not an easy row to get to and some might wonder whether the effort is worth it. Bridleways shown on Ordnance Survey maps do not exist and visiting it on the hottest day of the year is not recommended. Sadly in common with many rows next to forestry you will need to watch out for ticks. The route described below worked for me, but alternatives may exist. Park at NT 96325 23259. Cross the bridge and follow the footpath to NT 96195 22029. From here the best way is to follow the quad bike track on the southern side of the wall. This will take you to the access gate into Threestoneburn Wood at NT 96970 20964. From here follow the forest track to the row and circle.
