King's Quoit, Manorbier
Date Added: 11th Jun 2012
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Yes on 26th Aug 2004
King's Quoit, Manorbier submitted by sem on 26th Aug 2004. One thing the guide books fail to mention is the stones that line the hillside.These make this site unique amongst those I have visited and it makes me wonder if those surrounding other dolmens were put there not to hold in earth mounds but some form of energy.To quote(?)someone "If Roman remains have been covered by earth why have Neolithic remains been uncovered?"

Llanmadoc Hill Great Cairn submitted by sem on 24th Apr 2008. The climb up Llanmadoc hill is hard going, but the view from the summit of the North Gower coast is amazing.
There are many other cairns up here but they are all but destroyed.

Visited: Yes on 8th Aug 2009
Llorfa submitted by sem on 8th Aug 2009. Doesn't look much...
but finding a small circle like this (8 stones lie beneath grass height and possibly more below the peat) after a long walk, make the day worth while.

Llwyncwmstabl
Date Added: 11th Jun 2012
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 17th Sep 2009
Llwyncwmstabl submitted by sem on 17th Sep 2009. Though it looks insignificant, this cairn is beautifully visible from Llorfa circle across the valley and from other points in the area.
It appears to me that the people who built these monuments designed them to be viewed. Could this mean that the point of viewing was as sacred as the monument itself?

Maen Llia
Date Added: 11th Jun 2012
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 26th Feb 2006
Maen Llia submitted by sem on 26th Feb 2006. When viewed from the bottoom of the Llia Valley, Maen Lia appears at the lowest point of the arc of the horizon (just to the right of the road). In fact it is not on the head of the valley but a few hundred yards down from it on a low plateau, an illusion that is a tribute to the skill and artistry of it's erectors.

Maen Llwyd, St Ishmail submitted by sem on 28th Jun 2012. It has been suggested that a bucket and spade bought in the nearby tourist shops, would be a good investment for any would-be archaeologist at this site.

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 26th Feb 2006
Maen Madoc submitted by sem on 26th Feb 2006. Maen Madoc. It is possible that before the planting of the conifer forest this stone was intervisible with Maen Llia, about one and a half miles away. If so this is evidence that it predates Roman times.

Malia
Date Added: 11th Jun 2012
Site Type: Ancient Palace
Country: Greece (Crete)
Visited: Yes on 4th Sep 2010
Malia submitted by sem on 4th Sep 2010. The Kernos
As you can see from the pic, the archaeos consider it an "offering table."
There are 33 small holes plus 1 larger hole on it's rim. An usual number 33, it equates to the precise number of years that the sun will at the exactly the same point on the horizon.
Coincidence?
