Nab Head (Pembrokeshire) submitted by sem on 15th Aug 2012. The Nab "Horde"
Just a few of the many shale beads, the notched pebble and the "Venus" carving from Nab Head. Unfortunately I had nothing to show the scale, but the Venus is just over 1" long.
The picture was taken for Dewi Bowen's (Mafric) forthcoming book.

Gray Hill Cairn Cemetery submitted by sem on 6th May 2013. Gray Hill Cemetary
There are meant to be 9 barrows here. We found plenty of lumps and bumps plus the odd stone that seemed to have been placed with a purpose. But even using a GPS, we could not be sure if we had found anything.

Barry Island Cairns

Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Mid Glamorgan)
Visited: Yes on 15th Mar 2011
Barry Island Cairns submitted by sem on 15th Mar 2011. Only the southernmost (rh of the picture) of the five cairns really stands out and this is because of a mound of mortar was placed on top erect a flagpole.
Originally this would have been seen from a great distance and would have been a marvellous "signpost" for Bronze Age seafarers.

Nash Point Barrows submitted by sem on 5th Nov 2012. Thank the wall
If it were not for the wall these barrows would merge into the background. Even with it there, they only appear as green lumps against it's grey stones.

Heol y Mynydd Round Barrow submitted by sem on 5th Nov 2012. Barely visible
This barrow seems to be playing hide-and-seek. It is centre left behind the square rock. At 0.3m high, it is not the most imposing of ancient monuments.
