Pentre Ifan
Are they bluestones?

Select a forum:
Just read an appalling article in todays Western Mail about a book called <i>The Hidden Places of Wales</i>. The article is full of vague inaccuracies, which I can only assume are plundered from the book (apologies if this isn't the case). It describes Pentre Ifan as a 'Bronze Age burial site' and calls Maen Cetti 'King Arthur's Stone' (almost as bad as Julian spelling the name with a 'y').

Anyway, the article says that the stones of Pentre Ifan are bluestones. This got me thinking, 'cos I've never heard this suggested before. Is this another inaccuracy, or have they got it right?
