Date Added: 21st Mar 2024
Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Cheshire)
Visited: Yes on 21st Dec 2023. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
St Marys (Astbury) submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd Apr 2006. Part of a Saxon cross shaft to the rear of the Church, above a doorway in the North West corner. Spirals and curved motifs are visble on the outward facing side. An Anglo Saxon church once stood on the site. Also of interest is a 2,000 year old hollow yew tree to the North East of the original churchyard. If visiting in April, the triangular green to the west of the church is covered in daffodils, making a most breathtaking spectacle. Access to the church subject to church opening. Church websit...

Gawton's Well
Date Added: 21st Mar 2024
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Yes on 21st Oct 2023. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 3
Gawton's Well submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Nov 2008. Got around to visiting here yesterday, and it's brilliant. It's only 16 miles east for me, so returning won't be too much of an issue. Very atmospheric woodland and castle like folly neaby too. I wouldn't be surprised if therein lies a connection with the well.
The spring lies within a large circular wall, in varying states of collapse, and within that is an elipse of yew trees - reminiscent of the ring of trees in "Nightmare Before Christmas". If this were Wales I'd start thinking this was th...

Date Added: 30th May 2023
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 27th May 2023. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
Bodfeddan Inscribed Stone submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd Jul 2002. Bodfeddan Inscribed Stone SH356745
Visited Tuesday 26th September 2000
This stone is behind a wall, immediately opposite a white bungalow on east side of A4080. We parked on a very wide verge further down the road.
The inscription is on the north side, and can be made out on the photo if not actually legible. The CADW guide to Gwynedd gives the inscription as CUNOGUSI HIC IACIT, meaning (The Stone) of Cunogussus. He lies here. It may have been a prehistoric monument, but is thought to be ...

Holyhead Mountain
Date Added: 30th May 2023
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Wales (Anglesey)
Visited: Yes on 28th May 2023. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
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...

One picture taken of a 3D model conceived during a wet weekend. Projects like this can reveal previously unseen features.

Visited: Yes on 4th Feb 2019
The Avenue submitted by TimPrevett on 10th Oct 2006. Looking NE along the last stretch of The Avenue. I've appended, albeit somewhat crudely, some lines to show the course of the outside of the parallel banks, and their *approximate* direction swinging off to the east. The tan line in the distance shows the line of some of the Cursus, which predates the Avenue considerably.
