Since Toby Driver gives it a spotlight in his recent book I guess I really had to...
GLADMAN
Cefn Moel and Maes Clythan Wood...
A well preserved cist upon northern Cefn Moel...
Heading north from Bwlch...
A walk to the ‘Bwlch Cairn’... and on to Pen-yr-Heol Las, via Ffynnon Las.
The approach to arguably one of the finest cliff forts in the UK... Careful, now.
St Lythans – catching up with the 'Lair of the She Wolf'...
Well, it would be rude not to drop in having spent some more quality time at Tinkinswood, right?
Call this visit a belated Christmas present from old St. Nick lodged just up the road. Apparently.
42 years after my last vist to Pendine... I’m back. And this time it’s, er, archaeological...
A visit to the iconic 'Goat's Hole' cave, Paviland
Experience is a wonderful thing, so they say. So, this time I do it right. Just about.
As hors d’oeuvres go, they don’t come much better than this. I re-visit the cliff fort perched above the enigmatic ‘Goat’s Hole’...
A pair of round barrows near Sherrington, Wiltshire
Two bowl barrows apparently about a quarter mile west of Mount Pleasant. Or south of Sherrington....
Carn Bwlch-y-Cloddiau and Carnedd Fach (Esgair Wen)
A differing tale of two monuments to Bronze Age VIPs...
Pen y Gaer (the one near Llanaelhaearn) Llŷn Peninsula
Took a while to get to this one since the distant view from Gyrn Ddu suggested not much original walling was left. Wrong! Bit windy, though....
Northernmost 2,000ft summit of Y Carneddau... and all round Prehistoric Mother Hill for good measure.
The prehistoric footprint evident in the locale of the Mid Walian market town of Rhayader is much, much more extensive than many people perhaps realise. This horseshoe walk visits three of the arguably more obscure monuments.
Easily overlooked in the company of the great Carn Saith-wraith... but then... we Modern Antiquarians never take the easy option, right?
The location, overlooking the great, sinuous defile of Cwm Doethie, is superb, with surviving archaeology to match. Yeah, not only is the massive ‘composite ring cairn/round platform cairn’ some 70ft in diameter, it also has a pretty large neighbour to the southeast… all accessible from a stony track.
Let’s hear it for those magnificent archaeologists in their LiDAR-equipped flying machines…
One may have ‘heard about the bird’... but what of these two beauties only (re)discovered in 2015? No, really.
Stomping around in hill fog upon the Carneddau looking for ring cairns.... it’s always a good idea to fix one’s position when taking a bearing. Hey, a stone circle. That’ll do.
The ‘First and Last Hill in Britain’ should possess something to commemorate the fact, right? Err... you could say that.
Anyone for bob-buttons? Legendary giant mayhem at Trencrom Hill, near St. Ives, Cornwall
Langstone Downs and Sharp Tor
Every girl’s crazy ‘bout a Sharp-Profiled-Tor. Yeah, right.
Something else to do in Newquay… should you not be a kook destined for a wipeout, dudes?
Tales of Dark Age kings in golden boats with silver oars? … no, something much more.
Two barrows as different as chalk and cheese… as you might expect upon these bovine-inhabited chalk downs.
A good scramble to where Lieutenant Hugh Goldsmith (RN) ended up with egg on his face. The arrogant muppet.
The Whitaburrows – east and west
For Petre’s sake! How big is the eastern?
Something really needs to be done about moron trail bikers...or there really will be no ‘Butts‘
In the Shadow of the Tor - Time Team Dig
Time Team focus upon the Bank Cairn and some hut circles beneath Rough Tor, Bodmin Moor.
So much going on here, to be fair.
