Tyn'r y selar
Date Added: 11th Jun 2012
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (West Glamorgan)
Visited: Yes on 1st Apr 2012
Tyn'r y selar submitted by sem on 1st Apr 2012. Ancient & Modern
The efficacy of this stone remains undiminished. It is able to power the National Grid and levitate a white lorry and red car simultaneously.
On the more mundane side, it is often a perch for buzzards who fly away at the first sight of a camera.

Cefn Bryn Cairn 2 submitted by sem on 20th Sep 2012. Looking north.
There are four entrances to this ring cairn corresponding to the cardinal points, but they appear to have been created recently by sheep judging by the Coflein description of the site.

Rhossili Down Cairn 2 submitted by sem on 12th Mar 2013. Just one of many cairns....
Site in West Glamorgan Wales
... presumably why it was given such a romantic name by the Glam Gwent AT. It is one of the more easy to find as the kerbing is obvious.

Looking East. The bank of this ring cairn is far more pronounced from a distance and produced the standard "Let's look at that lump over there" from Pab.

Graig Fawr submitted by sem on 17th Jul 2015. It has now been determined that the site has two tombs side by side, though the jumble of stone makes interpreting the layout very difficult.

Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: Wales (South Glamorgan)
Visited: Yes on 16th Feb 2004
Tinkinswood outliers submitted by sem on 16th Feb 2004. These large stones lie about 50yds from the burial chamber. They are only a few of those that litter the site and are never mentioned in guides. Could it be that the site is larger than we think?

Carreg Siglio
Date Added: 11th Jun 2012
Site Type: Modern Stone Circle etc
Country: Wales (South Glamorgan)
Visited: Yes on 31st Dec 2005
Carreg Siglio submitted by sem on 31st Dec 2005. This site bears a striking resemblence to William Stukely's engraving of Avebury, comprising a circle with two "horns" leading from it.
The rocking stone was used as a pulpit by Dr William Price to preach his own brand of Druidism. He later found fame when charged with heresy for attempting to cremate his son Iesi Grist (Jesus Christ) in a tin of paraffin.
