Yeah, pretty much, with both the southern enclosure and northern 'fort' being Iron Age sites (of some sort) initially. The actual castle below is very overgrown and I didn't investigate beyond walking past it!
Interesting, there's a lot going on round there. Should be back that way next month, but I'm currently unable to walk anywhere much, so not sure how much I'll be getting to see this time.
According to the SMR it's a proper mixed bag. Iron Age pottery shows definite prehistoric origins, then reinforcement of the earthworks later. A bit like Castell Dinas Bran I guess. Lovely place for a mooch though, especially at this time of year.
Yeah, the idea was to find the cairn supposedly at SH65141153, so came via Bedd y Brenin to the west... but nothing doing. Not a bad back-up plan, although to be honest was probably always going to push on.
Good to see this superb, albeit small, museum in Devizes getting some publicity. I believe it will be moving to the larger building of the old Assizes Court sometime in the future. Must make a point of visiting soon to have a closer look at the necklace.
Really liking these... great moorland settings. Without your efforts, a lot of this substantial stuff would remain in obscurity. Slight regret is that you weren't posting here 10-20 years ago when I was coming to Scotland every year! Always needed to break the long drive in The Borders
The Wren's Egg boulder is not in its original position, following an attempt by a farmer to move it. Probably not very far, but enough to take it out of alignment.
