Tyn'r y selar

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (West Glamorgan)
Visited: Yes on 1st Apr 2012
Tyn'r y selar submitted by sem on 1st Apr 2012. Ancient & Modern
The efficacy of this stone remains undiminished. It is able to power the National Grid and levitate a white lorry and red car simultaneously.
On the more mundane side, it is often a perch for buzzards who fly away at the first sight of a camera.

These cairns are clearly visible from the West despite not being on the skyline, as their high quartz content makes them glisten in the sunlight.

Just one of a number of cairns in the area that appear to be "twinned" with others.
The high point on the closest horizon is Trichrug.

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.

West Kennett Long Barrow submitted by sem on 29th Aug 2012. Home to the roost
The only shot I got of one of the swallows bringing food for the young in the barrow.
Standing inside was a marvellous accoustic experience. Total silence until the swallow entered and then all hell broke loose!

Cefn Bryn Cairn 2 submitted by sem on 20th Sep 2012. Looking north.
There are four entrances to this ring cairn corresponding to the cardinal points, but they appear to have been created recently by sheep judging by the Coflein description of the site.
