Giant's Grave (Shropshire)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 6th May 2005
Giant's Grave (Shropshire) submitted by TimPrevett on 6th May 2005. What I believe to be the feature called "Giant's Grave" on the SE side of Stapeley Hill. I was not able to check it out in person - it was the other side of a field boundary; I hope to get permission and visit the site next month. This was zoomed in from the other side of the field, and based on my most meticulous map reading! The stone to the right seem to form a right angle against each other, with another stone apparently defining what could be interpreted as a chamber area. The site may be n...

Winterbourne Steepleton
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 21st May 2005
Winterbourne Steepleton submitted by TimPrevett on 21st May 2005. A distant view of the stones at Winterborne Steepleton, from the roadside. Given I had already two fields of bovine close encounters that morning, I was not prepared for another!
The two stones lie halfway up the hillside within farmland on the west side of the road from Hardy Monument to Winterborne Steepleton.
One cow looks mockingly at me from the stones either side of it.

Martin's Down Bell Barrows
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 23rd May 2005
Martin's Down Bell Barrows submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd May 2005. One of the bell barrows viewed across the barley, from the gate into the next field.
I just couldn't help thinking of the Fields of Elyssium in Gladiator here. It was blissful. Only sounds were the birds, and the 'white noise' of the wind through the swaying heads of barley. Blissful.

The stone is not there anymore, however, this stone is in the corner of the field boundary to the SE of where the aforementioned stone was recorded.

Big Wood submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd May 2005. Walking to the Winterbourne Steepleton chamber down a valley, the Big Wood barrows become visible. There are at least 8, but only 2 are in this picture. There is no public access, so a distant shot is necessary.

Visited: Yes on 23rd May 2005
Bronkham Hill submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd May 2005. A huge amount of barrows, in many varieties and stages of depletion, run along the ridge of Bronkham Hill. This is approaching the largest barrow about midway along the hill (it *is* enormous), with some of the many Saxon Field Boundary Stones visible to the right.

Site Type: Barrow Cemetery
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 24th May 2005
Upwey Ridgeway submitted by TimPrevett on 24th May 2005. Most of the barrows here seem to be considerably worn down by ploughing, but are still numerous enough, and easy to spot as prominent ridges.

Ffridd Faldwyn
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 6th Jun 2005
Ffridd Faldwyn submitted by TimPrevett on 6th Jun 2005. The westernmost extremity of the earthworks at Ffridd Faldwyn is at the left of the picture; it clearly shows how the natural contours of the hill were used to aid the siting of the defences. In the far distance is Corndon Hill, on the far east border of Powys into Shropshire. Even further away, to the left of Corndon Hill is The Stiperstones ridge. See main entry for more details.

Visited: Yes on 11th Jul 2005
Ffrith y Ddwyffrwd submitted by TimPrevett on 11th Jul 2005. A cairn in the "summer pasture of the two streams". It was actually the landowners who mentioned the cairn to me, as CADW had written to them making them aware that a decent cairn lie on their property.
This is catching the north west of the kerbing, looking into Snowdonia. The bonsai effect tree is a helpful means of locating the cairn. A lovely, peaceful location. I visited (and found it late on Saturday evening) but the light was failing rapidly. I returned on Sunday morning, and must have ...
