Obviously as Wales is such a stony country it should have a quite a few descriptive words...
taken from Dillwyn Miles -Pembrokeshire Coast Naational Park, which has a great list of sites... off to Solva today.

So many different words, but in Welsh identical combinations used for the names of many archaeological sites (and then the profession gives a site several different alphanumerics according to who is describing them, and with different names to confuse matters still further). Of course living in Orkney where there are so many identical placenames (and not always in different parishes !) I should preach ;-)

The word 'carnedd' is the plural of carn.
