| If you get to visit Druids Circle, and when passing the Red Farm Circle, don't pass it - take a look at the field; in particular further down the field, to the right hand side, there is a large mound of stones. It is unclear as to what exactly this is - field clearance? There is a good circular bank of stones beneath the surface, so I'm not entirely convinced it is just field clearance. Red Farm - see the mound raised to the rear of the pic within the field: http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/3969 a closer look: http://www.megalithic.co.uk/mo[...]ex&do=showpic&pid=9581 Perhaps some of the stones from this circle have been cleared into this pile? Another possibility in my mind is it could be a heavily disturbed cairn, having been the likes of this cairn http://www.megalithic.co.uk/mo[...];name=My_eGallery&file=ind ex&do=showpic&pid=9053 near Graig Lwyd? (also visit this, and the other cairns nearby; all different and quite impressive. Additionally, there is a good number cairn-like protrusions from the ground. They are widespread, and perhaps indicate disturbed cairn material? Opinions and discussion welcomed! http://www.megalithic.co.uk/mo[...];name=My_eGallery&file=ind ex&do=showpic&pid=9582 Baza & I had a good look here, but unfortunately did not take a GPS reading! But it is literally a minute's walk away. Baza has dug around on CARN, and these two (to my mind) seem the best possible matches at the moment: CAIRN, E. OF RED FARM Reference: 2874 National grid reference: SH73257499 Period: Unknown Distance: 0.1 Broadclass:Unassigned Type:CAIRN Pre 74 County:Caernarfonshire County:Conwy Community:Penmaenmawr Record Originator:Gwynedd Archaeological Trust CAIRN, MAEN CRWN Reference: 540 National grid reference: SH73267499 Period: Prehistoric Distance: 0.1 [from Red Farm stone circle] Broadclass:Religious, Ritual and Funerary Type:CAIRN Pre 74 County:Caernarfonshire County:Conwy Community:Penmaenmawr Record Originator:Gwynedd Archaeological Trust Any comeback on these, now, or in the future is appreciated. I just love that mountain. thanks Tim Reply | with quote |  14th October 2004ce 07:12 |
