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?"

Bannau Sir Gaer submitted by sem on 6th Mar 2005. It's cold and windy here, from which I conclude that Neolithic man did not carry out his ceremonies naked (unless he was made of sterner stuff than me).
