An old photo identified of 'Ystymcegid Cromlech' by Alvin Langdon Coburn. Sadly it's undated, but was probably taken in the first half of the 20th Century.

An old photo of 'Llety-y-filiast' by Alvin Langdon Coburn. Sadly it's undated, but was probably taken in the first half of the 20th Century. As an interesting point of contrast compare Coburn's photo to this one by IronMan:

An old photo of Cors y Gedol (or Corsygedol) by Alvin Langdon Coburn. The photo is undated, but was probably taken during the first half of the 20th Century. Note the dry stone walling at the eastern end of the tomb.
|
An old photo of Cefn Isaf by Alvin Langdon Coburn. There's a second photo, also by Coburn, on the same web site. Sadly neither are dated, but were probably taken in the first half of the 20th Century.
|
An old photo of Glendruid by an unidentified photographer. Sadly the photo is undated, but it's on a glass transparency, which gives an idea of when it was taken.
|
An old photo of Capel Garmon by Alvin Langdon Coburn. There's a second and third photo of the tomb by Coburn on the same web site.
The date of these photos isn't clear but, the tomb was excavated in 1927, so that gives us a clue (so long as it wasn't restored before that). In the photos the site is neatly fenced off for public access, so it's probably not been recently excavated. Coburn died in 1966, so the photos may well have been taken between 1930 and 1966.

An old photo of Clach na Carraig by Alvin Langdon Coburn, tantalizingly described as "Serpent Mound & Cross, Cross Iova, Stone Oban".
The date of the photo isn't clear. Mr Coburn was alive between 1882 and 1966, so my guess would be early 20th Century.
|
An old photo of the Llandbedr Stones by Alvin Langdon Coburn, incorrectly labelled as "Harlech, Standing Stones".
The date of the photo isn't clear, but the size of the tree gives a clue to the date. Mr Coburn was alive between 1882 and 1966, so my guess would be early 20th Century.

A photo and description of the site, plus links to seven high resolution photos and numerous panoramas (either Real VR which you'll need a plug-in for or Java). Someone's been climbing on capstones (tsk tsk).
|
Six photographs of the site and a description, including directions. It looks like Graham and/or Angela also squeezed into the tiny western chamber.
|
Two photographs of Robin Hood's Stone and some information (towards the bottom of the page).
|
Four photos of Cronk ny Merriu, along with a description and directions by car, bus and railway. Can't recommend this web site enough for travel information, although this page is a bit thin on information about the site itself (Cronk ny Merriu I mean).
|
A page by David Radcliffe, with three photos and a description on it. One of the photos shows a stone with the end of a splitting wedge lodged in it (which I managed to miss on my visit).
|
This is a searchable, light-weight version of the National Monuments Record (NMR) for Northern Ireland (the equivalent of CARN for Wales or CANMORE for Scotland).
|
Another page from this informative site. This account of the Braaid enterprets the circular structure as a stone circle, adapted at a later period for use as 'Celtic' stone roundhouse.
|
This page contains photos of the hill 'in use' and a description of how it is used ceremonially.
|
An excellent photo showing the hill, with distinctive scarring from centuries of mining.
|
As the name suggests, this is the official (contemporary) Bodrifty Iron Age Settlement home page. It includes photos of the reconstructed round house and a plan of the site and links to more info (such as the invaluable Building a Roundhouse page).

I live in a small Welsh seaside town on the west coast. As well as being well placed for visiting the local sites, it's relatively easy to get to sites in south Wales, north Wales and the borders.
If you'd like to use one of the photos I've posted on this site please contact the TMA Eds who'll pass the message on ([email protected]).
