I wish I'd known about this when we visited the this region of Wales at the beginning of August.

I'm interested in the mention of the link between springs and sacred sites in this context, as one of the stones we went to see in the area (on Carn Ingli) was surrounded by springs - we took a wrong turn and had to wade through them.

Wish we had known about it too because we were in the area a few weeks ago. Darvill and Wainwright have had a 'breakthrough' in finding a neolithic tomb, I'm thrilled (put it in the news section this morning) there is a load of stuff around this area and I have always been on one side of the 'transportation' theory ;). A link to the area...

Interesting stuff, thanks.

This all reminds me, I must get round to posting some of my photos from our Welsh trip. I've got them running as slide-show wallpaper on my PC here, so I should remember!

Squid -- this is not a breakthrough at all. This site has been known about, and described, for many years. The only "discovery" (if that's the right word) is that there may be something beneath the burial mound. What that is, and what its significance may be, is still be be established. There is NO link here with Stonehenge, whatever the two professors may say. So please don't just accept the nonsense trotted out in the "Digging for Britain" programme -- it was slapdash TV journalism at its worst..
