Lansdown

Remains of dumped barrow. This barrow which lies on the edge of a field, must have very near Kelston Round hill. On the ridge above there is another much larger barrow, that was excavated in 1911, this particular barrow seems to focus itself on the Kelston hill.

Another “lost” stone, strategically placed at an old crossroad, that takes the path from Bath down to the river and Swineford (Bladud and his pigs). This “green” (roman, probably earlier) curves round Kelston Roundhill

This stone hidden in an old sheepwall, was probably pushed down the slope from above, a bronze age burial ground.

St David’s Head

The ridge of Carn Llidi. Near this ridge is another tomb, Coetan Arthur, whose capstone is said to resemble the ridge shape. This tomb is 1.75 kilometres from car park.

Carn Llidi Tombs

Chambered Tomb

This is a photograph of the double chambered tomb (or two separate ones) that lie above the coastal path half a kilometre from Whitesands carpark (SM7352 2789). WW2 platform in front. One tomb abuts the rocky face, and the capstone that has fallen could have rested on the rock face. Behind me is the view out to sea, so the tombs would be facing towards Carn Llidi.
