Créac'h Gallic
Trip No.13 Entry No.7 Date Added: 2nd Aug 2019
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: France (Bretagne:Finistère (29))
Visited: Yes on 2nd Aug 2019. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 3 Access 5
Créac'h Gallic submitted by TheCaptain on 17th Apr 2011. There are many large slabs around the outside, making a sort of wall, I could not make this out at all initially.
Seems it was once a large allée couverte with a peristalith surrounding its mound, some of which still survives.

Caer Leb
Trip No.12 Entry No.19 Date Added: 31st May 2019
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 31st May 2019. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 5
Caer Leb submitted by TimPrevett on 14th Apr 2004. Caer Leb is a rectilinear settlement enclosure, with double ditches and banks defining an area 200 feet by 160 feet. Some have interpreted it as a mediaeval homestead with moat (indeed, some of the ditches get very water logged). However, finds of a 3rd Century AD brooch, a 4th Century denarius of Postumus, and Roman pottery and quernstones date the site much earlier than mediaeval. Like the Din Lligwy Settlement, the CADW guidebook says it possibly has its origins earlier than the 3rd Century, ...

Bryn Gwyn Stones submitted by petelovespurple on 24th Apr 2012. I'd been to see Castell Bryn Gwyn, noticed the stones marked on the map, when I got there discovered there was a dig going on, they had found the base of one of the destroyed stones plus stone holes for other stones, I'd have thought there would be more info here......

Plas Newydd Burial Chamber submitted by angela on 10th Jun 2002. Plas Newydd
If you are visiting Bryn Celli Ddu on Anglesey it is worth looking at this Burial Chamber site as it is nearby at SH 520 697. Coming from the bridge on the A4080 after about 2 miles take the left turn a few metres before the left turn to the National Trust car park for Plas Newydd. This lane has a blue private sign but this is for the centre down there. After a short distance you will see the tomb on the right in a field. This photo was from a winter visit and it was a quiet frosty ...

Another monument restored using bricks and also has a broken capstone. Would have been originally covered with a cairn and entered via a short passage from the north east.

Holyhead Mountain submitted by TimPrevett on 14th Apr 2004. At the base of Holyhead Mountain, is this impressive, substantial group of hut circles. In the 1860s in excess of 50 buildings were recorded, but now numbers around 20.
Active settlement was on this location for sometime, and not all the remains seen are contemporary with each other.
Finds at this location, and very nearby, date occupation from mesolithic to Romano British times.
The hut circles seen are obvious, but there are a number of square features. The guidebook likens them to s...
