| Have been on Colonsay walking the raised beaches there. Sea level rise to former levels: waaaaaay to go. Not a trace. |

| Yeah, Western Beacon is on the list but I diverted north to Trevelgue Head instead. Not a bad decision, to be fair. |

| You should, if you can drag yourself away from island hopping! |

| This landscape has got that great inner spaces feel that Dartmoor does so well. |

Great stuff. One the large barrows on Western Beacon has a similar thing on the top https://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/91059/western_beacon.html Really must get back to Dartmoor, it's been a long time since I went. I was supposed to get to Fernworthy etc last year, but it didn't happen for a variety of reasons. |

| Yeah, and really couldn't they have dumped it off the cairn somewhere? |

|
| Yeah, lovely place, but don't necessarily expect to be alone (unless you go in the rain in November or something). I wasn't convinced by the eastern cairn when we went in 2015, be interesting to know your thoughts if you go. |

| This is turning out to be quite an interesting place. Hardly represented on the Portal. I might try and make a dent in that. |

Yeah - Moel y Llyn opposite has its own 'Lady of the Lake' legend... as in nearby "Caer Arglwyddes", 'The Lady's Field'. And of course Led Zeppelin were here... Some interesting ponderings on the area... certainly 'something' going on here those artists tuned in to back in the day: https://welshmythology.com/tag/cwm-einion/ |

| We passed Badgers lodge on the way, the road is quite an adventure on it's own. Badly potholed now. The Beavers are doing quite well there, don't know about Badgers. I might go back and take a stroll up on top one day. |

| Lovely setting SC, it's beyond me why farmers leave equipment to rust. |

| Beavers? Recall I parked near there a couple of years back - at Badger's Lodge on the way to Pen Carreg Gopa. Great hills, but very difficult going... as you would expect from Pumlumon. Not sure beavers would get on with badgers? |

Rathfalla / Fieldnotes by bawn79 |
|
| This analysis is sound. In Britain, henges often have pronounced inner ditches which delineate the inner stage. If outer ditches are present, I suspect they were dug to provide material for the bank. Defensive sites in the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age (e.g. Ring Forts) have the ditch on the outside to enhance defense. This does not preclude a henge being later modifed into a Ring Fort, but if you have an inner ditch, suspect a henge. |

"If anyone should wish to have a deeks at this bit of obscure rock art, drop me a line." Hi, I've found the small stone, but no luck with the main bigger stone. Any help for anyone would be much appreciated. Thanks, Peter |

| Thanks tsc. I am recovering well, though not getting out as often as I would like, which is ever the way. |

| Fantastic effort, well worth the perseverance. I hope you're recovering okay, it's very hard when you can't get out into the hills. |

| Just spent a few days down in that valley, at the Beaver sanctuary( the cluster of buildings at about 3 O'clock in this image. Great place to unwind. These hills and their cairns were calling me. I might have known you had already been here. |
