An old photo of ‘Gunner Keld’, scattered with children, taken by Alvin Langdon Coburn.
Like most of the photos in this collection, this one isn’t dated, but was probably taken in the first half of the 20th Century.
An old photo identified of ‘Ystymcegid Cromlech’ by Alvin Langdon Coburn. Sadly it’s undated, but was probably taken in the first half of the 20th Century.
An old photo identified as ‘Bodnant Cromlech’ by Alvin Langdon Coburn (there’s also a second photo of the site). Sadly it’s undated, but was probably taken in the first half of the 20th Century. As an interesting point of contrast compare Coburn’s photo to this one by IronMan:

An old photo of ‘Llety-y-filiast’ by Alvin Langdon Coburn. Sadly it’s undated, but was probably taken in the first half of the 20th Century. As an interesting point of contrast compare Coburn’s photo to this one by IronMan:
An old photo of Cors y Gedol (or Corsygedol) by Alvin Langdon Coburn. The photo is undated, but was probably taken during the first half of the 20th Century. Note the dry stone walling at the eastern end of the tomb.
An old photo of Cefn Isaf by Alvin Langdon Coburn. There’s a second photo, also by Coburn, on the same web site. Sadly neither are dated, but were probably taken in the first half of the 20th Century.
An old photo of Glendruid by an unidentified photographer. Sadly the photo is undated, but it’s on a glass transparency, which gives an idea of when it was taken.
An old photo of Capel Garmon by Alvin Langdon Coburn. There’s a second and third photo of the tomb by Coburn on the same web site.
The date of these photos isn’t clear but, the tomb was excavated in 1927, so that gives us a clue (so long as it wasn’t restored before that). In the photos the site is neatly fenced off for public access, so it’s probably not been recently excavated. Coburn died in 1966, so the photos may well have been taken between 1930 and 1966.
An old photo of Clach na Carraig by Alvin Langdon Coburn, tantalizingly described as “Serpent Mound & Cross, Cross Iova, Stone Oban”.
The date of the photo isn’t clear. Mr Coburn was alive between 1882 and 1966, so my guess would be early 20th Century.
An old photo of the Llandbedr Stones by Alvin Langdon Coburn, incorrectly labelled as “Harlech, Standing Stones”.
The date of the photo isn’t clear, but the size of the tree gives a clue to the date. Mr Coburn was alive between 1882 and 1966, so my guess would be early 20th Century.

A photo and description of the site, plus links to seven high resolution photos and numerous panoramas (either Real VR which you’ll need a plug-in for or Java). Someone’s been climbing on capstones (tsk tsk).
Six photographs of the site and a description, including directions. It looks like Graham and/or Angela also squeezed into the tiny western chamber.

Article by Colin Richards about how archaeologists’ ideas have changed regarding Orkney in the Neolithic.
An article from 1999 by Mary Baxter, who excavated one of the long barrows. Neolithic people didn’t just bury their dead and leave them in peace – they moved them around and maybe even took parts to be buried elsewhere.
