    The imprisoned neolithic stones of Barclodiad y Gawres #1

    Hi all, I'm unable to upload more than one photo in this group.. so will upload a little series of this site.. It contains ancient rock art and has been subject to a dodgy 'restoration', as well as now being behind bars due to vandalism..

    I created a Youtube channel where I post videos of lesser-known (Peruvian) ancient megalithic sites for those interested in this kind of things. www.youtube.com/@WeirdOldWorld . You can find me on X too. I'll post new ones every week.

    Neolithic Cromlech on St Davids Head, Wales - Coetan Arthur

    Coetan Arthur - St Davids Head - Wales

    While exploring this neolithic cromlech, we had a beautiful moment with a curious wild mountain pony. It seemed to spot us in the distance and promptly came straight over to give Zeb a big full body sniff examination! We were currently filming so caught the moment on video too 🥰 What a stunning spot...

    You can find the full video on our Youtube @ CoralJackz

    Dolmen La Chianca in Bisceglie, Puglia, Italy 🇮🇹

    This is Dolmen La Chianca, in Puglia, Southern Italy. It is one of the best preserved Italian prehistoric monuments and stands not far from three other dolmens. Not far away there are two cave complexes where remains of Neolithic villages have been found.
