Graig Lwyd Neolithic Axe Factory

Site Type: Ancient Mine, Quarry or other Industry
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Would like to visit
Graig Lwyd Neolithic Axe Factory submitted by TimPrevett on 8th Apr 2004. Graig Lwyd Neolithic Axe Factory sits on the extinct volcano above the North Wales coastal town of Penmaenmawr. Spectacular views abound, with panoramic views to the Tal Y Fan mountain to the south, the Great Orme to the east, and Anglesey to the west.
Access is questionable; the 'volcanic plug' from which was taken microdiorite or augite granophyre is on top of a ridge which is still being quarried on its east and north sides for rocks of different geological specifications. The outcrop can ...

Cefn Coch (Penmaenmawr)

Site Type: Ring Cairn
Country: Wales (Conwy)
Visited: Yes. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Cefn Coch (Penmaenmawr) submitted by TimPrevett on 7th Apr 2004. This Circle is easily missed. As it is usually approached from Druids' Circle, it is not visible until you actually go over a slight rise just SW of the neighbouring Moelfre Stone Row / Alignment which can be mistaken as 278.
When reading descriptions of Circle 278 as a wide circular rubble bank, with fallen uprights, then coming across this (which I have missed on 2 previous visits to this area), it is unmistakeably Circle 278.
This is looking to the North East from the bank of Circle 278...

Visited: Yes on 16th Feb 2016. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 3
Hafodty submitted by TimPrevett on 29th Jul 2004. The view of the 3 most damaged stones - split and fallen; the other two are standing, but have had chunks knocked out of their far faces.
This circle is not destroyed, though has been considerably damaged. 3 stones remain upright, the tallest at about 4 feet, the other 2 around 2.5 feet. 2 are fallen, and 1 has been blasted apart, and unsurprisingly now lies prostrate, with a large piece missing. Diameter is around 36 feet.

Cerrig Pryfaid submitted by stonedowser on 23rd Feb 2002. This is a good circle, though not easily seen until you are actually standing by it. There are a couple of outliers associated with the circle and what dowses as a cairn also. More pictures and dowsing diagram on web pages. Ian.
