    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
