These are hidden, probably deliberately, within the tumble of rocks, a bit like the one on Carn Meini - Prescelli Mountains. The last one he mentions has a large capstone sitting low to the ground with at least 11 uprights. Excavated early in the 20th century, it still had loose cairn rubble as a covering... I have a feeling that most of the sub-megalithics were meant to blend in with the surrounding rocky area.... Reply | with quote |  29th May 2007ce 10:56 In reply to: Re: Welsh cromlechs (tiompan) |
