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.

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.

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.

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.

Cairn B can be seen on the horizon. The difference in altitiude suggests that this cairn is not part of the grouping.

Sythfaen (Carmarthenshire) submitted by sem on 18th Jan 2012. Sythfaen
Standing by the road-side and dwarfed by a modern pole, Sythfaen looks forlorn. Nearly strangled by undergrowth and not even afforded the dignity of being used as a gate-post, how are the mighty fallen.

Pebyll Cairn submitted by sem on 14th Jan 2012. Pebyll.
Although the bank is hard to distinguish (and even worse to photograph) the SSE entrance can be picked out due to the jamb stones.
