Gelli Hill Cairn B
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 24th Aug 2006
Gelli Hill Cairn B submitted by TimPrevett on 24th Aug 2006. This is not Gelli Hill circle, but yet more stones which could be mistaken for a ruinous circle, as per the comment on 14th August 2005. The 'real' Gelli Hill circle on a narrow neck of land, lower down more or less at the same level as the large fallen standing stone.

Gelli Hill Cairn A
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 25th Aug 2006
Gelli Hill Cairn A submitted by TimPrevett on 25th Aug 2006. The silhouette of the cairn approaching sunset. The diameter of this cairn is considerable, and I think must rank among the taller cairns I have visited. See pictures of the circle looking towards here for an idea of the size of the mound in context of the landscape.

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 4th Sep 2006
Cwrt-y-Gollen submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Sep 2006. A close up of the magnificent "Growing Stone". Even my uninterested wife had to admit this was impressive! On former MOD property, the signs have now gone, and it feels much less of an intrusion than previously.

Ynys-Hir submitted by TimPrevett on 11th Sep 2006. A plan of Ynys Hir circle at an MOD information point near Sennybridge. Do not visit without advance permission - see main entry for details. The booming of tank shells and rattling of machine gun fire on this drive along the road was startling!

Cwm Stone
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 11th Sep 2006
Cwm Stone submitted by TimPrevett on 11th Sep 2006. The more northerly of the two easily visible stones. The 1:25000 map records 3 standing stones here, yet Coflein records just one. A visit in person (a fleeting view from the roadside) yields one stone standing around knee height, and another fallen stone to its SW.

West Park Boulder
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature
Country: England (Cheshire)
Visited: Yes on 19th Sep 2006
West Park Boulder submitted by TimPrevett on 19th Sep 2006. Another perspective on the enormous glacial erratic in West Park; it's a shame this hadn't been exposed for millenia like many glacial erratics, as the more I have visited the park the more anthropomorphic features I spot in the stone. Given time this could have developed some folklore - but it just resides in a very pleasant park, and that's it.

The Knockin Hoarstone
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Sep 2006
The Knockin Hoarstone submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd Sep 2006. Last recorded in 1930, protruding from an earthen bank, this lost Shropshire stone should be in bank / hedgerow on the right hand side, somewhere just either side of the gate. Had a good look around, but no success. A stone further into the field along the footpath (just left of the tree on the skyline) initially got me excited, but should be about 5 feet by 2 feet. This was not. Will visit again when vegetation is down.
This is just off the A5, on a bend, so take care. It's rather obvious her...

Grey Stones
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Sep 2006
Grey Stones submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd Sep 2006. Another lost Shropshire circle remains lost! Largely destroyed by 1883, this was probably originally a bowl barrow, with a diameter of around 100 feet. Revealed and damaged by penetrative ploughing in 1945 and again ten years later, some structure was revealed - but now there is nothing to be seen, it seems.
Transcribing the grid ref places it in the field in front of the picture on multimap, but putting it onto the GPS places it higher up on the crest of the hill. If this was a barrow a rid...

Caus Castle submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd Sep 2006. Caus Castle at evening twilight 22/09/06. Mediaeval fortification upon an Iron Age hillfort. Access is not easy, even though a footpath runs through the east side of the monument, and somewhere to park to leave the car completely escaped me!
