Burial Chamber

Fieldnotes

This was another of those 'how has it taken me so long to get here' sites.........

I recall cycling past on the return from Pont Scethin in 1998 and thinking 'that's nice'. 11 years later I finally decide to take a closer look on foot and it blows me away. Much better than I remembered, with a fantastic, substantial capstone and great location below the southern Rhinogydd - the ridge beyond teeming with other sites.......

Several nerdy walkers gawp at the individual hanging out inside the chamber, the postie speeds past no doubt oblivious. Of much more interest, a local comes across and introduces himself as a 'dowser'. Apparently the vicinity is a 'hotspot' of activity in this respect and he's well chuffed. So am I.

A Gladman, you might say.

Posties are not oblivious, they are canny and effective stone hunters, he probably hung out there as a kid and was just avioding the dafty dowser. postman Posted by postman
