Has anyone heard of or indeed does anyone have any further information on the alleged temple complex at Garndiffaith - 51°44'12.08"N - 3° 3'55.69"W

as presented in the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsiVZGI_F3s

I do realise that the presenter is not an academic but the account presented by the builder from the 1960's seems entirely plausible.

Hi Tim. No additional info, I'm afraid. But there are some locals posting upon here who may well be in a position to go have a look for themselves.

The walling does naturally suggest a defensive enclosure, perhaps adapted in medieval/early historic times for further settlement and perhaps featuring a Bronze Age cairn/round barrow as focal point the builders didn't want to remove - the traffic island. However having had blocks of flats built upon it and later demolished followed by an estate guess the area's pretty confused from an archaeological perspective. Interesting.
